Stray Arrows: Shanahan To Dallas?

Wow. Big potential news out of Dallas. From ESPN:

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hasn’t changed his mind about firing coach Wade Phillips, but Mike Shanahan would be the leading candidate if he ever does make a move, according to team sources.

Mike Shanahan, a fan of Tony Romo, could end up with the Cowboys in 2010.
Shanahan’s unexpected firing Tuesday by the Denver Broncos has prompted Jones to give “thought” to hiring Shanahan as the future Dallas coach — even more so than Bill Cowher or Mike Holmgren — but 2010 may be more timely than 2009, the sources said.

I didn’t think it could be done, but I’d hate seeing Mike Shanahan in Big D even more than I would Bob Stoops. Yuck!

My question is why doesn’t Jerry Jones just go ahead and do this now? Wade Phillips is an average head coach at best, and by no means does he have control of that locker room. It’s gotta be Jerry’s ego that’s holding him back from making a move. Personally, I’m glad. Shanny would be a perfect fit, so I’d hate to see ol’ Horseface ride into Texas.
