Jerry Jones made clear after the loss that he wasn't considering any midseason coaching changes, and his son and Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said much of the same on Monday. During an appearance Monday on 105.3 The Fan, Stephen was asked if he foresaw any coaching changes on the horizon.

Those Cowboys had a heir apparent. Jones had hired Jason Garrett to be the offensive coordinator before he hired Phillips to be the head coach. He was in place to take over for Phillips as Jones went about hoping to find his Tom Landry.

To Jones' point, the comparisons aren't close. The billionaire businessman fired Wade Phillips in 2010 when the Cowboys were 1-7 and looked like they had quit the night before in a nationally televised 45-7 loss at Green Bay.
