He's a real head coach and a real LEADER. They are a TEAM - we are a like a nasty dsyfunctional family - and I use the term "family" loosely.

Those of you who don't think grown men at this level don't need leaders are absolutely kidding themselves.

Great point. It makes you wonder what a guy like Fisher would do if he had half of Dallas' talent at the skill positions on his Titans.

Wade said that the team performs better when they are rested....I think he has proven with his incredible December/January record that he knows what he is talking about.

Brady Tinker, a local mediot did an interview with Rick Gosselin this week and he stated that on numerous occassion throughout the season (off the record), that players were telling him that they needed more discipline and that there were alot of players going their own way. He said that they dispised Bill Parcells but liked the discipline he brought to the lockerroom.

Bill Cowher interviewed Jeff Fisher at halftime of the Ravens Dolphins game and was asled what he did this week and Fisher said he had his team working on basics like tackling, running the ball and red zone stuff. The thing that got my attention is he said he had the team working in pads. He said they didn't like it but felt it was necessary. He also had them compete against each other and the losers had to run.

Does this sound anything like Wade's approach? Wade would have let them all go on vacation like last year and rest their legs. I'm curious to see how the Titans play next week. I bet they come out with more energy than we showed last year.


Exactly. Wade is the coach least likely to inspire fear, accountability or respect -- REAL RESPECT -- that other coaches demand.

The Cowboys were soft and they proved it by injury after injury and Wade never helped them attain the mean, high-energy look and feel they needed.
Instead of a taskmaster, the Cowboys got an enabler of the worst instincts in players -- whining, mentally and physically undiciplined, finger-pointing, jealousy, passive-aggressiveness and physical softness.

Jerra either has something up his sleeve re HC or he has gone super stubborn or senile to keep Wade and Stew.

:mad:

damn, i feel this tightness in my chest . . . hot in here . . . room is moving . . . . fire the bum wade . . . .

This is why this guy can still be coaching the same team after 14 seasons despite never winning a Superbowl because he's a competitor and he keeps his teams competitive.

Even when they're not playoff worthy they're never so horribly overmatched that they're routinely destroyed or anything.

Fisher is one of my favorite coaches in the league.
