My thougths.
Wade:
- Defensive style pressure up front, but not tight in the secondary which allows offensives to beat the blitz by quick short passing.
- Know to have good regular seasons and fold in the playoffs.
- VERY relaxed coach with little fire to keep players in line.
- Just cannot seem to get it done in big games.
I think we should promote Garrett (even though I've been very iffy about this). Bring back Hudson Houck to coach the oline. (Garrett knows him from the Cowboys and Dolphins) and hire Rex Ryan to take over the defense since he was fired along with Billick.
Garrett is smart, but he needs to follow in Jimmy's foot steps. Law down the law, but be a players coach only to those that execute. In otherwords, players like Crayton who open their mouths and fail to execute get in the dog house. Multiple failures to execute get you cut or traded.
Anyone remember John Roper (Cowboys LB mid 90s) getting cut for sleeping in a team meeting the day after his wife had a baby late the night before? Do your job or G.T.F.O.
we brought in phillips for a 3 year plan. at the time people were happy and we were building something positive and wow, get garrett to take his place when he's ready.
i think we can see now garrett may have a bit more learning to do. if someone wants to hire a HC with jr staff experience then 1 year OC, i guess that's their call. myself, i prefer to stay with the plan and continue to build.
far too many people are willing to let go of all this team has done (us fans have done nothing, so it's much easier to tear it up and start over for us) and the progress *we have in fact made* and see only yesterday. yes, yesterday sucked big time. no cowboy fan alive didn't get hurt or feel the disappointment.
we knew before the year started we would be good but not yet a dominate team. as 12-1 run to a 1-2 final burst and a quick out in the playoffs only remind us - we're still not quite there. frustrating, to be sure. painful, unfortunately. the short term sight we all do have does say "make this change, do that!" but that's not seeing the long road ahead usually. certainly not much in here now.
wade is a very different kind of coach. garrett needs to compliment that and my call would be to make them HC and assistant HC/OC for garrett and continue to let garrett learn, should he stay. hope so. but to compliment that he needs to be the fire and rage when it doesn't work out for the team.
good coach, bad coach. he doesn't need to go parcells extreme but he does need to get onto the players when phillips wants to serve 'em milk and cookies when they screw up to show he still loves them. you can still love 'em with your foot up their arse, wade.
romo has too much put on his plate. he made the OL look good at times and many seemed to figure it would always be that way. some still hollered that the line needs some love still. if the line is still an issue is sprano really that good? anyway - maybe romo was too good to start. he had a fairy tale beginning last year and even to start off this year. he's got about a year and a half as a starter and more experience to gain before he'll take that next step up.
we need to help him with a better line and a better running game. simply put. since the OL has been the bain of our existance for so long, i don't hold sprano in that high of a position. yes i could be wrong and i'm sure some vocals will disagree and get all giggly on me.
but after last night it's hard to argue.
we went into this season with a long term in mind and need to stay the course. firing the staff after every bad season or worse yet, bad playoff game, will only make us the Commanders.
