Sure, I'll get on Board The Wade Train, and I'll support him because I'm a Cowboys Fan.
Then In 2008 I'll support his successor.
Not trying to be pessimistic, just realistic
(hope i'm wrong)
I know you're a fan. Cowboys success takes precedent. You don't feel good about the hire. You want it to work, but you don't believe it will.
Being the eternal optimist, I'm going to help.
Philips wasn't my first choice. Parcells was.
None of the applicants did it for me.
Garrett was the only hire that would have excited me.
If you look at this team objectively.
You identified the weak spots and figure out what went wrong.
You then try to figure out the best solution.
When you do that Phillips becomes the obvious choice.
This team has all the defensive
talent it needs.
What it needed most was a new voice on that side of the ball and a more aggressive style. A get after the passer/ defend the pass first mentality.
Phillips brings this.
This team is close. Real close.
It does not need to start over.
It does not need to be retooled.
What it needs is a veteran coach with experience for 2-3 years.
Phillips is this.
After listening to Jones and Phillips, I got the feeling Jones had the same evaluation of his team I did.
Kind of scary. Is he as dumb as I am or am I as smart as he is?
