Jones Says Phillips's Job Safe

Owner Jerry Jones is saying that he won't fire Wade Phillips as the Dallas Cowboys' coach this season.

"We've got a chance to get a lot of things done," Jones said Thursday during his weekly radio appearance on Dallas station KRLD, according to an account of the interview in the Dallas Morning News. "And we've got a lot of football left to play, and we've got some good people that not only can play it but coach it."

Jones pointed to the New York Giants winning the Super Bowl two seasons ago after struggling in the early going that season.

"Two years ago the Giants were seemingly not in disarray, but they were in trouble," Jones said during his radio appearance, according to the Morning News account. "It was also absolutely expected that something was going to happen with the coach, [Tom] Coughlin.... Well, that same year they won the Super Bowl. You've got to be mindful that this is a long, long journey.... A lot can happen from the beginning to the end."
