Wade Phillips would be an amazing owner.

You would think that someone died or on life-support or something. I keep flipping on the sports channels today and they keep talking about the uneasy feeling in Dallas.

Frankly, if they give Wade Phillips the boot, I DON'T want to see Jason Garrett running this team... If we're pointing fingers at the coaching staff, I'd say Garrett's somewhere-between-gimmick-and-vanilla offensive schemes have more to do with our problems than anything else [fun drinking game: do a shot every time Garrett runs Barber on 2nd down (or 3rd-and-long) - you'll be drunk by the second quarter!]

Not that heads need to roll, but they certainly will if we end up 4-5 at the bye... (isn't Bill Cowher looking at getting back into coaching???)

Garrett does deserve some serious blame, for sure. The offense just has looked jumbled after the first game of the year or so. It seemed too easy in that game, or we got incredibly spoiled b/c of it and it's causing a lot of misconceptions right now. Either way, he is the offensive guru, so it's problem.

Cowher is going to want a lot of money, Jones will be up for it though. I can't think of a lot of other options though. Someone will come in though, Wade isn't going to be a fit for a whole lot longer.

Call me crazy but I think Bill Billick might be a good fit with this team. He's often regarded as an offensive genius and led one of the most dominate defenses in NFL history for a while.

Garret has got to be absolutely kicking himself for not taking a head coaching job last season. Think he's going to be a hot commodity this offseason if we continue to underperform?

Were Baltimore and Atlanta the choices? Or is half of that wrong?

jthig32 · 10-20-2008, 04:57 PM

I believe both teams wanted to talk to him, yes.

BGMaverick9 · 10-20-2008, 04:59 PM

yeah, I bet he'll be pretty pissed with missing out on those. Atlanta is the feel good story of the year and Matt Ryan looks like he's a star in the making. He's got help at the skill positions along side of him.

Dirkenstien · 10-21-2008, 02:34 PM

Well Garrett hasn't been looking so great with his offensive duties lately and I'm not sure he wouldn't be intimidated of stepping up to head coaching position of this team. For better or for worse everything that happens with the Cowboys is under a public microscope and I'd probably be more comfortable with someone like Billick or Cowher than the unproven Garrett.

I'm not saying that Garrett has showed he should have the job but he's the highest paid coach on the team. I just think you made the commitment to make Garrett the head coach you gave him that 3 million dollar contract. Cowher wasn't even getting nowhere near that in Pittsburgh. Not sure the going rate for head coaches though. I'd imagine we'd have to give Cowher or Billick more than 3 million.

Garrett is overrated.

LOL. And when did you determine this? After 7 games or last season?

Garrett is overrated.
