Wade Phillips Fired; Jason Garrett Named Interim Head Coach

CRedskinsRule · 11-08-2010, 02:45 PM

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.

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)

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.

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.

They keep getting rid of our secret weapons. Roy Williams, Flozell Adams, and now Wade Phillips. Hopefully they keep Alex Barron.

Yeah, I still would like to buy Barron a beer for single-handedly snatching game 1 from his team. Lol!

Miles? Interesting

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

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 Jim Harbaugh, but they would have to wait till the college season is over.

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.

skinsfaninok · 11-08-2010, 02:55 PM

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