Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

Hate to say it, but contrary to those that have said it's not a good idea, I think it's a smart move. JJ can evaluate Garrett as head man & then interview coaches after the season. This will make for an interesting game this weekend w/the g men.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

Wow, that is crazy -- I am so happy, Redskins aren't exactly world-beaters but we did beat the Packers who just blew out Dallas

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

Others are saying coaches have not been told of any changes yet, so wonder if the local CBS affiliate jumped the gun here?

Just beat me to it SS lol

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

No it's legit I heard it on espn radio Dallas minutes ago

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

Oh I'm loving it

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

I would rather they kept him, always good to have a talented team in the division hamstrung with a horrible coach!

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

Jerry Jones is an idiot. Garrett should've got the ax too.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

I'm going to miss Phillips like I'll miss TO and Roy Williams my favortie cowboys as a skins fan.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

Dallas land has really fallen apart.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

I can't help comparing last year to Dallas this year. Remember how joyful Skins fans were when Vinnie was Fired. Imagine if Zorn had been fired, but Vinnie remained. Would we have been as happy? Until JJ acknowledges he needs a GM, I think Dallas will keep bouncing all over the place. A lot of Cowboys fans will be happy, as we would have if Zorn had been fired, but A LOT will still want JJ to step back.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

That really SUCKS!!! I thought he was the perfect coach for Dallas.

While I agree that they need more help up front, their real problem in my opinion is not lack of talent, it's lack of discipline. Now I don't know if it's purely undisciplined and people are held unaccountable on the field but also at the team facilities (like it was here with VC)

Talk around here is Gruden and Les Miles, yes I just said Les Miles

Dallas's problems are not all coaching, some of their star players have to perform better. Someone has to be the fall guy for their miserable season, may as well be Phillips. Losing Romo didn't do much to help them either.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

^ lol apparently miles coached in Dallas at somepoint during his career.. Of course bob stoops also comes up but that's not happening

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

I love how JJones is so tough and such a cowboy, "theres gonna be consequences around here" what a chump.

Yeah I don't like this. I wanted Wade to stay, he has more talent wasting to do.

Miles? Interesting

Talk around here is Gruden's not interested in coaching anywhere for at least another year.

I think that he has similar mindset problems to Vinnie, even tho' he does seem to be better with talent acquisition (although TO and RW trade argue that some of the talent came from BP). What I mean by that, is he encourages breaking/undermining the chain of leadership on the football field, he has really ignored the importance of the OL, and he gets enamored with mega-talent (again the RW trade and picking DB this year even DB will be a thorn for years to come, he is not what the Cowboys needed with their first pick).

I made the argument before, but there is a fundamental problem when the owner is also the GM. The roles almost by necessity require two polar opposite views, and that is what keeps a lot of teams, and the best teams in balance.

That will make for an interesting year if there's a lockout. In general it will be interesting to see how teams handle hiring coaches w/a lockout looming. Seems tough to drop loads of money on a coach when you're not sure if you'll have games to bring in revenue. On the other hand everyone might need a tough coach to get their scabs in line!

If they were smart they would go after [B]Jim Harbaugh[/B], but they would have to wait till the college season is over.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

O well either way it's a great day for skins fans lol

JJ won't change from his ways because of the 3 rings he got with his hand in the cookie jar. He thinks his method will work for him again, but FA won't allow teams to be built that way anymore.

He had it coming.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

Should we look into WP as D. Coord.?

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

I think 1-15 is now a sure thing. Garrett COULD actually be worse than Wade at coaching.


He needs to be fired too. I understand that they can't just get a whole new staff in-season, but they'd probably be better off just keeping Wade and firing everyone in January.

Jerry has a weird crush on Garrett though. This is not really surprising.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

[quote=LavaRnChad;757035]Should we look into WP as D. Coord.?[/quote]

Hell no.


Haslett is better.

The D will be worse off if we scrap the 3-4 after ONE season. We're in a transition year on both sides of the ball...and we're still better than Dallas.

We're figuring things out personnel-wise wit the 3-4. Carter is playing DE again, Haynesworth is playing well now...we're improving.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

I doubt wade would want to coach with the guy that replaced him in Denver.

Yeah but Garrett ain't the golden child like he was two or three years ago. He's just another coordinator now, and barring the Cowboys running the table from here on out, I don't see the Cowboys or any other NFL team pinning their hopes to Garrett.

The cowboys official site is down. [url=http://www.dallascowboys.com]DallasCowboys.com - Official Site of the Dallas Cowboys[/url]. now come on, that's just funny!

edit: they got it back up :(

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

...........who wants to bet Jimmy Johnson's name comes up ?

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

Just another dumb move by JJ. No reason to fire Wade half way into season. Especially with a guy who is worse. But Im not complaining.

Re: Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach
 

As bad as we stunk it up last year and as much as Zorn probably deserved to get canned during the season, I'm glad Snyder showed the restraint that he did.
