Springfield, MO – Hours after dismissing Wade Phillips as the Dallas Cowboys head coach, team owner Jerry Jones purchased the Springfield Wolfpack to replace his football team’s roster with players willing to show up and play in each game. Said Jones, “An in-season coaching change is not something I’ve done before, nor is a mid-season roster change. But I think what’s best for the organization and the fans is an across the board personnel change.” ESPN NFL reporter Ed Werder, reported the purchase and planned roster change and said, “Jones wants to salvage something from this season. Starting 1-7 isn’t going to please the fan base, so Jones has reached to the Ozarks to find a storyline for the remainder of the NFL season.”
During live coverage at the MediaCom Ice Park Arena, ESPN senior writer John Clayton quickly hid his ponytail and confirmed, “Jerry Jones wants a team with heart; and he’s hired ex-football star Paul Crewe to lead the scrappy Springfield Wolfpack players to revive the Dallas Cowboys franchise.”
The Springfield Wolfpack played to a 5-5 record in the 2010 professional indoor football league and finished third with a loss in the league semifinals. Said Jones, “at least these players have the desire to go out and compete each week. They made it to a semifinal game and I seriously doubt our current roster could move down a level and achieve the same kind of success.”
