NFL: Who will be the 1st head coach to be fired during the 2009 season?

Settled as other

Report: Bills fire head coach Dick Jauron
NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora reports the Bills have fired head coach Dick Jauron.

Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips was asked whether it would be accurate to term this season a “now or never” campaign for an underachieving linebacker.

“That's just business,” Phillips said. “It's now or never for most people involved in football. That's not any different than most of our players.

“And maybe even coaches.”

Considering he's entering the final season of his three-year contract without a playoff win to his credit, it's no surprise Phillips made that final comment.

The Cowboys are 22-11 in two seasons under Phillips, whose deal includes an option for a fourth season. But there's been no public talk of an extension from owner Jerry Jones.

Phillips is 0-4 in the playoffs, including 0-1 with the Cowboys.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.

I like this question. I thought hubdub banned death pools? :)

Now that Romo has cut Jessica Simpson loose, does that improve the Cowboys' chances?

Trouble is, they also cut T.O.:
I still marvel over his Super Bowl performance the year he broke his leg!

T.O.'s SB performance with the Iggles is right up there with Michael Jordan's 110° fever (embellished for emphasis) performance.

Don't people realize that wagering after the fact is pointless and the wager will be voided? It also takes a lot of the fun out of the game.
