From an ESPN Blog in Nov/Dec 2009: Our sources tell us that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not plan on retaining current Head Coach Wade Phillips after the 2010 season. According to our source Jones has interest in is Les Miles (LSU Head Coach) and Bob Stoops (Oklahoma Head Coach).

On December 3, FootballCoachScoop sources
confirmed that Owner Jerry Jones still hadn't picked up the option for next season on Phillips who is in the final year of a three-year contract. We have confirmed that Jones does have interest in LSU Head Coach Les Miles (November 12). It is expected that Phillips will not be back in Dallas unless they
make it to the Super Bowl.

Obviously Jerry decided to give Wade one more chance but from the looks of things this will be the last year. Just because you and some retards on the Rant don't respect Miles doesn't mean he is not WELL respected in coaching circles.

His former employer, Jerry Jones, KNOWS him well and even after his two most difficult years he was one of Jerry's two FIRST choices.

Good for them both. Let's hope it works out well for everyone concerned.

Only in the delusional world of some anti-Miles guys would there be a belief that a coach winning almost 80% of his games and a NC while playing in the best college conference in the world would not be attractive to other college or pro teams.

You can only grin in amusement.
