  • Forget Holmgren, forget Garrett, I know you Brownies want Cowher, but if he is available I just don't see Dallas passing on him. Name me one other team that would be more attractive to Cowher than Dallas? Jerry Jones is willing to dish out big bucks for a coach, are the Lerners? Further, Dallas will dish out big bucks for big name players. After years of losing his top players cause the Rooney's wouldn't pay (big bonuses), Cowher will be chomping at the bit to work for a team like Dallas. Further, if he goes to your city, he's got major rebuilding to do. Major rebuilding = greater chance at failing, failing = future salary reduction/firing. In Dallas he has pretty much all of the components he needs already in place. If you were Cowher, which city would you rather coach right now? If you were Jerry Jones, what other coach available do you think is better than Cowher?

    the cowboys were never as good as they should have been all year, and they wasted and all-time season from demarcus ware. in a couple of key situations where the cowboys were trying to stop the ravens last night, the D let people rip off huge runs for TDs, so it's somewhat surprising to me that garrett is feeling the heat as much as wade is.

    i'd love to bring wade in as DC next year, as well.

    Phillips is a very good DC but like some other coordinators can't make that step up to running the whole show. He runs a very different 3-4 scheme. He gives the DL one gap responsibility and brings pressure for all angles. Might be the only form of the 3-4 that our players could excell in. He would come with Marty.

    Mark Schlereth also ripped Garrett after the game for not making any adjustments during the game, like switching to max protection to contain the Ravens' pass rush.

    Must have missed your Garrett=Chud comment yesterday, mz the pussy. I was too busy "scouting" average players on mediocre college teams 😉

    I actually only said it to myself, so there was nothing to miss. 🙂

  • Sorry but Wade seems and Romeo seem like clones of each other... No Fire in either one.

  • Yes, EJ, but Phillips has been a successful coordinator, and that's what I'd look at him as.

    Crennel's success came on Belichick's coattails.

  • From Rotoworld:

    ESPN's Chris Mortensen said Monday that he sees Cowboys coach Wade Phillips' job as "completely safe" beyond this season.

    While a loss at Philly in Week 17 would potentially end Dallas' season and have most Cowboys fans calling for Phillips' head, Mort says the struggling economy could weigh into owner Jerry Jones' decision. Mortensen also says Jones is a man of his word and has repeatedly said Phillips' job is safe.

  • Dallas is down 27-3 at the half...I think Jerry Jones may end up changing his mind.

  • 44-3 currently...Wade couldn't be more available.

    And Romo's reputation as a choker isn't being helped...

  • Jerry has a tough decision to make. Dallas fans are not going to want to stand pat after that debacle, plus they haven't won the last game of the year since 1999. Romo is a choker and the feeling is there is too much talent on that team not to make the playoffs.

    I just don't understand why owners make comments like they do before evaluating everything after it plays out. I like Jerry, but he shouldn't have did the proverbial job guarantee crap.

    I would not be disappointed with Wade as D-ccoordinator, but I don't think he'd be my first choice.

    Is a pig's ass pork?
