The 2010 season was the Dallas Cowboys' 51st in the National Football League (NFL) and their second playing home games at Cowboys Stadium. After falling to the Minnesota Vikings in the divisional round of the 2009–10 NFL playoffs, the Cowboys sought to defend their NFC East division title and contend for a Super Bowl title, particularly given that Super Bowl XLV would be played at Cowboys Stadium.
However, this did not happen and after a 1–7 start Wade Phillips became the first coach in Cowboys history to be fired during the season. He was replaced by offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. The Cowboys finished the season 6–10, 3rd place in the NFC East, and failed to reach the playoffs. However, under Garrett the team's record was 5–3 as compared to the 1–7 start under Phillips.
