| mule. A month ago would have been the time to say adios to Marty. In the following weeks, offensive coordinator Cam Cameron was hired as Miami's head coach and Wade Phillips, the architect of San Diego's aggressive 3-4 defense, was hired by the Dallas Cowboys. Either man would have been an ideal successor to Schottenheimer. Spanos would say only that the breaking point was the ``process'' the Chargers were going through in filling the void. In trying to explain this one, Spanos and Smith were as evas |

Dean Spanos, known to be close friends with former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson, and Smith said during a conference call that they plan to move quickly on hiring a replacement. Smith said he had a list of candidates, but refused to divulge names. Smith hinted, though, that the list could contain names of coa |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Jerry Jones insists Wade Phillips will have as much input into personnel decisions for the Dallas Cowboys as Bill Parcells had. It even says so in his contract, Jones added. Then came the kicker: Dave Campo and Chan Gailey had the same wording in their contracts. So forget what's on the legal documents and focus on the reality. After four years of working alongside Bill Parcells, Jones is once again taking full advantage of his dual titles as owner and general manager. ``It's just |

Phillips takes over as coach of the Dallas Cowboys with a long reputation as someone players like working with. Will that be good enough for T.O.? Owens could not immediately be reached for comment Friday. Odds are, though, he heard the smooth way Phillips let everyone know during his introducto |

Parcells nearly always referred to Owens as ``the player'' this past season, their first and last together with the Dallas Cowboys. Whether Phillips noted his full use of T.O.'s name to make a point or just to be funny doesn't really matter - either way, the line symbolized the new tone surrounding this club.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -Nearly a month after they melted down in the playoffs, the San Diego Chargers are looking at another big loss. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was hired as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, following offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and two other assistants out of town for better jobs. ``Change in our business is inevitable, whether you win or lose,'' coach Marty Schottenheimer said. ``When you have the kind of success we've had in the last three years, you're going to |

She couldn't contain her excitement when he walked in for his introductory news conference Thursday night. ``Yeah, Wade!'' she hollered. From his former colleagues in San Diego to the folks he'll soon be coaching in Dallas, there was plenty of praise and excitement surrounding the hiring of Phillips - and only some of it had to do with his cheery personality b |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Twice during his introduction of Wade Phillips as Dallas Cowboys coach, Jerry Jones had to stop and gather himself. The decision was that emotional for the team owner. ``We needed to get it right,'' Jones said, pausing as tears welled up in his eyes. ``In my mind, we got it right.'' Phillips was hired Thursday, providing Dallas with an experienced replacement for Bill Parcells and someone well-versed in the 3-4 defense.

Norv Turner won't be the Dallas Cowboys' next head coach after all. That's great news for everybody with the San Francisco 49ers, and even Turner doesn't seem too disappointed to be staying home. The Cowboys hired Wade Phillips on Thursday, about 10 days after Turner emerged as the apparent front-runner to replace Bill Parcells. Turner, the Cowboys' former offensive coordinator who holds the same job in San Francisco, won two Super Bowl titles in three seasons running Dallas' offense. But the Bay Are |
