Wade Phillips jabs at Dallas Cowboys on Twitter

Published: Mar 06, 2014 at 09:33 AM

Wade Phillips might be out of work, but he's not out of fire.

Apropos of nothing, the former Houston Texans defensive coordinator and Dallas Cowboys coach took to Twitter on Thursday and set his sights on the walls of Jerrah World.

Jason Garrett is tied with Wade Phillips for 56 games as the @dallascowboys head coach. Phillips: 34 - 22; Garrett: 29 -27. #suprisesMe

Phillips was fired and replaced by Jason Garrett midway through the 2010 season and remains the only Cowboys coach to be dismissed in-season in Jerry Jones' 25 years of ownership. Phillips landed on his feet with the Texans, but was included in the purge when Bill O'Brien took over as head coach in January.

This isn't the first time Phillips has relied on data to illuminate his NFL success, and assumedly, to expose the hypocrisy of his unemployment. Lest we forget ...

Disappointed not even an interview after 7 straight full seasons of top 10 D with 3 different teams. Last 5 times as D C= playoffs1st yr

And because why not, here are five more Phillips tweets to warm your soul.

I thinking of writing a book. I want to write one on the 3-4 defense for coaches,football geeks and women who want to know about defense.
