Jason Garrett, the Cowboys assistant head coach and offensive coordinator, has been named the new interim head coach.

The Cowboys are off to their worst start since 1989, with a 1-7 record. That record includes five straight losses. This is the first time, in Dallas Cowboys history, that a head coach has been fired mid-season.

Phillips was the seventh coach in Cowboys history (take a look at the Cowboys coaches through the years) and came to the team with more than 30 years of NFL coaching experience. In his three+ seasons with the Cowboys, Phillips complied a 34-22 record.

The Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to hold a press conference at 4:00 p.m.
