Remember at the end of last season, when the team quit against the Eagles ending their year losing 3 of 4 games and blowing yet another golden opportunity while missing the playoffs? Well it was at that same time that Jerry was being adamant about bringing Wade Phillips back as HC, despite having another late season collapse.

And get this, Jerry's main reasoning for bringing Wade back was so we could have "continuity." Well - it looks like he got his wish. Another year and another late season dive.

Brilliant Jerry, Brilliant!

I think it's clear that Jerry the GM is a failure. Time to hire a GM Jerry and get a real HC.

And this year he will get rid of Wade, if we do not get to the playoffs and for the sake of continuity he will name JG as HC.

BP can you not curse us. We'll really go 5-11 with JG as HC.

If he promoted anyone in house I would love for Joe D to get a crack at the HC. Despite the punt return against the Giants special teams have been the most improved unit of the team. Joe D brings a fire and passion that we're lacking.

You know it is going to happen, you can feel it in your bones.

But the bright side is...we can pound our chests and say we told you so and still complain about Jerry.:p:

some day i'll figure out why you need to vent the "jones sucks" thread so often. there isn't a person who's ever even heard of the internet who doesn't know your thoughts on it so why keep pounding it?

I think part of the reason for bringing Wade back for year three was the fact that Jerry later regretted giving up on Gailey after two seasons.He didn't want to do to Wade what he had done to Gailey.I'm sure there are more reasons for Wade being allowed to stay after the Philly meltdown but that was one of them.

and since you know this won't happen, we get the unbridled luxury of hearing you and bach whine about it on a daily basis.

I do not believe that any self-respecting coach with "it" will work for Jerry. He is essentially the HC w/ coordinators beneath him calling plays and dealing with Xs & Os. This is evident when you hear the reports that Wade cannot bench players nor increase fines for poor performance and mistakes. It will not change until Jerry is out of the picture, so get over it being any different after he fires Wade and finds a new guy...

Financial reasons were also right there at the forefront. If he truly believes that Wade Phillips is the leader that can bring success through continuous action, he has to be joking.

If anything, I believe he was capitalizing on flavor of the moment. The timing was not right and it sounded good. At least I hope he was lying.

A tad premature. Another meltdown may be in progress, but nothing "official" yet. In any event, brace yourself for another edition of "People not named Jerry Jones getting offended on behalf of Jerry Jones" -- the Zone's longest-running comedy.

The changing of HCs is going to happen. Of that there is no doubt. I think it will be Garrett who takes over as the Coach (Though I'm really not happy about that one myself but I could be totally wrong about Garrett), but there is absolutely zero chance that we ever have a GM on this team not named Jones until the Jones family decides to sell the team. It's just not going to happen.

When Jerry, finally, one day steps down as the GM it will no doubt be handed over to his son Stephen at that point. Possibly Stephen will be better than Jerry, of that I don't know, but its going to be a darn long time before you ever see anyone as the GM of this team that isn't one of those two.

I don't necessarily believe he's calling the Xs and Os, but he most certainly is imposing his will in other areas as he feels comfortable. That's one of the reasons he was so relieved when Coach Parcells left.

All you have to do is look at several keys moves that Phillips wanted but didn't get (Mike Solari instead of Hudson Houck as OL coach and the whole Dan Reeves fiasco) to realize that the choices are not going to be wide open if he has to look for a new coach. People like Cowher are definitely out. Holmgren might be as well. Perhaps even Shanahan, depending upon how much authority he wants in the organization.

i can see this - back at the time who were our choices for HC? the pool just wasn't out there.

so we get calls to fire wade on a weeky basis, some daily, bach, hourly...and it will go on like that because that's what that mindset does.

and does.

and does.

but our choices were wade or norv. i didn't want norv back and while he does well in december, how's jan looking for him?

6 of one, half dozen of the other, ya know?

this time around i think jones has to let it ride. for everyone saying FIRE WADE NOW! they also turn around and scream JONES ONLY HIRES PUPPETS!

well if he did what *they* wanted, then the problem of getting a quality coach in here would be even worse. 8-5 and his overall record what it is and he got fired?

what *smart* person would set themselves up for that?

the NWC is just old and tiresome and i'm starting to see a lot more than me worn out by the constant no-win scenarios they paint every week out of their own frustrations.

Well he was considering hiring him as HC before he hired wade and that was before he even had an OC time.

bb - you can't be this dense. it's not defense of jones, it's knowing we could be right there with you going WAH - HE SUCKS!!!

and NOTHING would change - so why keep doing it?

while there may be some who will come defend jones directly, it's a small minority. the rest of us accept who is he and just put it aside because no billboard, website or screaming YOU'RE A HACK from the street will make jones change.

so when *this* mindset says STOP, it's not defending jones, it's defending our own sanity from the constant CRAP that flys about.
