Not only will the Cowboys exercise the option on Wade Phillips’ current contract to retain him as head coach next season, but Jerry Jones likes him so much, that he plans to keep Phillips around through 2012.
Wade Phillips Contract Extended By Cowboys Through 2012
This seems like an odd move given that Phillips’ job security for next year was in jeopardy much of this season. If the Cowboys fall short of the playoffs (or perhaps, the Super Bowl) next year, it isn’t hard to imagine Jones firing Phillips, and then owing him the remainder of this new extension. A wait-and-see approach may have made more sense, but then again, Jones likes to shoot from the hip YEEHAAWWWW.
The official announcement is expected to come at a press conference Thursday afternoon.
