Well, true to his word, Darth Jones has fired now former head coach Wade Phillips. Dallas TV station KTVT is reporting that happened this afternoon and that the Cowboys will hold a press conference at 5:00pm eastern to announce Jason Garrett as the interim coach.

Interestingly, 3 of the 4 major TV Stations and several radio stations in Dallas are reporting this. However ESPN's Adam Schefter and FOX Sports Jay Glazer are saying that "The local stations are jumping the gun".

Now reports are starting to circulate that it may not have happened....yet. Schefter re-tweeting from Todd Archer--Spoke to Wade Phillips agent and asked if true. Reply: I don't think its true.

3pm Eastern--Reports are now circulating that none of the coaches or players have been notified. Also, Wade has apparently walked out of the executive offices and not talking.

3:03pm--It's official now because ESPN says it is. Their people are now confirming it. So it must be true.  They seem to be refusing to admit the locals kicked their asses.

This is getting stranger by the minute...keep tuning in.

We will update this story as the day progresses
