I'd be interested to see what personality he brings in the role of a head coach. Perhaps he doesn't want to rock the boat as a co-ordinator right now. I think he'd be harder than Phillips. These guys did not respond to Phillips style. He treated them like adults and they behaved like children (which a lot of these players are, no matter what age). In professional sports there are plenty of talented and tough young men that aren't that mature. Can't expect them to behave like life-experience 30 year olds. Big assumption.
From what I've seen of him (limited coverage of him in action, and he was quite quiet when I was at training camp), he doesn't seem like a pushover or touchy feely type though. He's academic, but intense.
I wonder if he was in charge if he'd have the nards to stand up and put his stamp on a team. This is more difficult often for younger coaches, as sometimes guys you are trying to mold and discipline and instill your wisdom into aren't more than 5-10 years younger than you! That isn't always easy.
Accountability is something even some players were asking for. We need at least some assistants to bring some fire and brimstone, and they need to have protection to bench guys, discipline guys, fine guys, call them out publically, etc etc, even get support of coach/owner to cut them if needed. Then players will respect them and toe the line in the system.
I actually think Garrett would be tougher than many might think, I'm a bit surprised he hasn't come out swinging a bit. He is getting murdered by media, fans, and players, and yet he's stoically taking it right now. Of course, I wouldn't blame him to jump ship and try it his own way if behind closed doors he doesn't like Phillips style/approach.
Will be interesting. I think Red has got a bit more fire in him than some think, even though I didn't love his playcalling much this year! 20/20 hindsight in many cases though, who knows what reality is (Romo improvising, WR's doing their own thing, not running routes and fighting for balls, oline not run blocking as well as they could etc).
