Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insists that he won't fire coach Wade Phillips at midseason despite the team's struggles. "I would never consider doing that during the season," Jones said of firing Phillips. However, Jones didn't give Phillips a vote of confidence as the team fell to 1-4 following a loss to the Vikings. "I'm not [optimistic]," Jones said. "I'm very disappointed. I realize the challenge that we've got, and we're not playing well enough to get it done right now. We're running out of the opportunity to make this season what we meant it to be."
