Reid vs. Cowboys' Coaching Carousel

In his 13th season with the Eagles, Andy Reid is the longest-tenured coach in the NFL. During that time, the Dallas Cowboys have had five head coaches. Here is a look at how Reid has fared against each of his Cowboys counterparts:

CHAN GAILEY (1999)

Reid's record: 1-1

Game scores: Eagles won, 13-10, at home, and lost, 20-10, in Dallas.

Summary: Reid's first win as a head coach came on Oct. 10 after four losses to start the season, when the Eagles defeated Dallas, 13-10, at the Vet. The Eagles scored all 13 points in the fourth quarter on a pair of Norm Johnson field goals and a game-winning, 28-yard touchdown pass from Doug Pederson to Charles Johnson. The Cowboys beat the Eagles in the second meeting, thanks to three turnovers. Gailey would not be a head coach again in the NFL until 2010 with Buffalo.

DAVE CAMPO (2000-02)

Reid's record: 6-0

Game scores: In 2000, Eagles won at Dallas, 41-14, and in overtime at home, 16-13; in 2001, Eagles won at home, 40-18, and at Dallas, 36-3; in 2002, Eagles won at home, 44-13, and in Dallas, 27-3.

Summary: This was not a good time to be a Dallas fan and a pretty good time to be an Eagles fan, as the Birds began their ascent toward being a Super Bowl team. Campo's debut was marred by the Eagles' surprise onside kick to open the season on their way to a 41-14 victory. That also was the famed "pickle juice'' game on a day when the game-time temperature was 109. The Eagles outscored the Cowboys, 204-64 during the Campo era. The only close game was a 16-13 overtime win in the second meeting in 2000. Campo posted three consecutive 5-11 seasons. He returned to the Cowboys in 2008 as secondary coach after stops in Cleveland and Jacksonville.

BILL PARCELLS (2003-06)

Reid's record: 5-3

Game scores: In 2003, Eagles lost at Dallas, 23-21, and won at home, 36-10; in 2004, Eagles won at Dallas, 49-21, and at home, 12-7; in 2005, Eagles lost at Dallas, 33-10, and at home, 21-20; in 2006, Eagles won at home, 38-24, and at Dallas, 23-7.

Summary: After an 0-2 start in 2003, the Eagles only lost twice more en route to a 12-4 record. One of those was at Dallas as Billy Cundiff's 28-yard field goal in the fourth quarter snuffed the Birds' comeback bid. That stopped the Eagles' six-game win streak over the Cowboys, but they went on to win the next three meetings. Only twice has a Reid-coached Eagles team been swept by the Cowboys, once in 2005, when the Eagles fell to 6-10 after their Super Bowl season. The 21-20 loss was a heartbreaker. With the Eagles nursing a late lead, Donovan McNabb was intercepted by Roy Williams, who returned it 46 yards for a touchdown. That was the last time McNabb played that season because of a sports hernia. The Eagles swept the Cowboys the following year. The final Parcells-coached Eagles-Cowboys game was on Christmas night in 2006, when Jeff Garcia delivered his "Merry Christmas, Philadelphia'' wishes as he headed off the field following the win.

WADE PHILLIPS (2007-09)

Reid's record: 2-5, including 0-1 in the playoffs

Game scores: In 2007, the Eagles lost at home, 38-17, and won at Dallas; in 2008, the Eagles lost at Dallas, 41-37, and won at home, 44-6; in 2009, the Eagles lost at home, 20-16, lost at Dallas, 24-0, in a meaningless regular-season finale, and then lost the following week in a wild-card game at Dallas, 34-14.

Summary: Phillips had a 34-22 regular-season record overall in his time in Dallas, with five of those wins coming against the Eagles. He also got the lone playoff win of his head coaching career after five losses. Plenty of memorable games against the Cowboys in this era, including the stomping that ended the 2008 regular season as the Eagles rebounded from 5-5-1 and went on a run to the NFC title game. The Cowboys got their second sweep of the Reid era in 2009. In the first regular-season game in 2009, Tony Romo threw for 307 yards, including a 49-yard touchdown pass to Miles Austin in the fourth quarter. The regular-season finale had no meaning, but a week later, the Eagles returned to Dallas and saw the Cowboys put up 27 points in the second quarter and run for a total of 198 yards in a wild-card win. Phillips was fired before the teams met in 2010 and is currently the Houston Texans' defensive coordinator.

JASON GARRETT (2010-present)

Reid's record: 1-1

Game scores: The Eagles won at Dallas, 30-27, and lost at home, 14-13, in the regular-season finale.

Summary: Garrett, the Abington native and Princeton graduate, took over eight games into last season as the interim head coach, posting a 5-3 record. In his first game coaching against the Eagles, the Birds scored 13 points in the fourth quarter and held on for a three-point win. With their playoff positioning set, the Eagles played largely backups and ended up losing the second game on a fourth-quarter TD pass to Jason Witten.
