Wade Phillips New Cowboy Coach

Slimdust

I was on the Phillips bandwagon from Day 1, because of what he will do to improve the defense. I was slightly excited with Rivera for a while until I saw his defense "perform" in the Super Bowl and heard that he would probably switch us back to the 4-3. (BOO!)

Phillips is a 3-4 guru with a slight history of success in the NFL. This team was built to win with defense and winning the time of possession battle. So it would make a whole lot more sense to bring in a 3-4 defensive guy to keep the team going in the direction that it was going. Bringing in an offensive guy wouldn't have solved anything because, quite frankly, the offense wasn't that much of a problem. A few tweaks here or there on the offensive line, and they'll maintain their stature as one of the top 5 or 10 offenses in the league. But the defense needed a major attitude change. (roy willimas im talking abotu you!) and that also starts with the guy running it. The Chargers led the league with 61 sacks last year. Just imagine what the cowboys defense could do with 50-55 sacks, considering that the secondary is light years better than San Diego's.

So I beleive this was a very good chocie.

I was really hoping the Cowboys would sign Norv Turner. He SUCKS

I guess we'll have to see how Phillips does. Hopefully poorly lol

No offense Slim

Wade Phillips was also the coach in Denver before the Shannahan reign... I will say this. He is a good defensive coach, but as a head coach he is not the best choice out there. The D may get better, but it will for sure hurt their offense... I hope he is ready to be driven out within the year by TO.

Slimdust

they hired a good O coach. why will there offense hurt? Why cant they hire a good D coach for there main coach and not hurt there offense? I don't understand that.

To be fair if they would have hired Barney the Dinosaur as their coach Slim you would be here applauding their decision. haha

Wade is better as a assistant coach IMO but who knows? Maybe the man has improved his leadership skills. We shall see.

Slimdust

but i guess we wont know untill the season starts.

As a Frank Gore fantasy owner, I'm just ecstatic they didn't steal Norv Turner from the 49ers.
