Dude, let's take it easy. Really, "a child rapist". Get over yourself, it is a game. I prefer Wade any day because he has won year over year. I think that you are trying to be funny but that needs some work.
Doesn't matter. The head coach is responsible for it all. If Garrett's the problem (and he is) then Phillips needs to take his play calling responsibility away. Maybe easier said than done with Jerry around but that doesn't matter. If Phillips wants to demote himself to defensive coordinator and let someone competent take over the head coaching responsibilities, he's free to.
Farther than Singletary, Mike Smith, Steve Spagnolo, Tony Soporano the list goes on................
Maybe I am being generous, but everyone(Announcers in particular) stated that Alex Barron would crap the bed. The Cowboys would be 1-0 except for an inept O-line man.
To me this is the crux of why Phillips is the easy choice. I get the feeling that Childress thinks he's some sort of genius and insists on trying to prove he's smart with asinine play calling and terrible use of his personnel.I get the feeling that Phillips knows he is an administrator and will acquiesce to the judgement of his coordinators. He might not be a great motivator you'd ideally want in a head coach, but if you give him some good coordinators, he won't get in the way either which is less than I can say about Childress.
Those coaches were given far weaker squads when they joined. Also, I believe Phillips has had 1 more year than those other guys.
This. And Garrett was hired before Phillips, so not like he had any input there either.
Yup. Plus, for all his faults, Phillips coordinates one hell of a defense.
Phillips has been instrumental in getting players to replace the older players since he has come to Dallas. With the exception of the offensive line, Dallas is a young team. Think of all the old guys they have gotten rid and replaced Tank Johnson, Pacman, Roy Williams, Ken Hamlin, Flozell, Anthony Henry, Zach Thomas, etc. You have to give him credit for this retooling even if he did start with better parts, how much longer do the above coaches get a free pass for?
He did a great job. Tony did a great job. ALEX BARRON COULD NOT DO HIS JOB!! You cannot blame the coach or the QB or the GM. The Cowboys have O-line issues that are going to screw them.
Thanks for your insight. Any reason why you feel that way. The Cowboys should have won and Childress uses the NFL's best RB only 3 times in the second half. Educate me Mr. Shula.
Just to play devil's advocate here, you do know that Wade Phillips and the Cowboys won at New Orleans in week 15, ending the Saints undefeated season, right?Dexter Manley said:
They get a free pass for longer than Wade. 2 more years at least. That's just the truth around the high expectations of taking over a playoff team and being the head coach for the Cowboys. Those coaches' expectations when they came in were to build a competitive team in a couple of years. Wade's was to win a Super Bowl.As far as the OP, I haven't followed the Vikings enough to truly understand how bad Childless is. I wouldn't mind trying out the Random Playcall Generator for the Cowboys though.simmonjm said:
Yes. There was a lot more urgency for Dallas to win that game than there was for the Saints.
If you don't think the Saints were trying their asses off to win that game, you weren't paying attention.
Not sure where you got that from. That was clearly a lot more important game for Dallas than it was for New Orleans. Doesn't mean the Saints weren't playing hard.
Not handing out en education here Steak, just opinions.Are we talking about this one game or the whole body of work? I was under the impression we were talking about overall coaching skill set.Of course Childress's 2nd half decision making was abominable against New Orleans. Using an obviously rusty Favre over pounding with AP in the second half was foolish. That said I think Childress is the more intelligent coach, I would take him over Wade Phillips easily. I think the total amount of questionable decision making over the past two seasons falls hard on Phillips shoulders.Angus82 said:
