You should really take a look at that thread about Phillips interviewing.

So we should focus on what coaches did 8 years ago and not what they've done recently? Okay.

Maybe I just missed those idiots or maybe tuned them out. Didn't see any hate on Twitter, but maybe I tuned those fools out too.

Some people said that Phillips would have been the "good ol' boy" hire (which the whole concept is ridiculous) and that he wasn't a tough DC.

Everything that I'm reading about Barry in San Diego (where he's been for the past three/four years) looks good. I'm willing to give him a chance.

A note on Barry's Lions tenure (more later, if/when)... of 11 starters on '08 squad, 7 were out of the NFL w/in 2 years, 4 after '08 season

I wanted Haslett gone, but that was the situation here also.

You're right! I mean, just because he had a great interview and worked in Tampa with BA many years ago, the Skins wouldn't hire a journeyman assistant coach who was an abysmal failure in his one attempt at leading a defense without some consistent stellar work in recent years on his resume to counterbalance it. Let's look at Barry's resume as a DC at the pro level in the last five years and compare it some of the other candidates who were mentioned ...

Damn, I can't seem to find it. I know it's around here somewhere. ... Are you hiding it from us Ruhskins? You clever boy!

I'm hiding it, and you're not getting it. LOL.
