WADE TO SIT FOR COWBOYS' GIG

As expected, the Cowboys plan to interview Chargers defensive coordinator Wade Phillips for the head-coaching job previously held by Bill Parcells.

On Wednesday, the Cowboys requested and received permission to talk to Phillips. (The process is a mere formality, since no team can stop another team from interviewing one of its assistants for a head-coaching job.)

Meanwhile, the Cowboys have hired Jason Garrett to serve at a minimum as offensive coordinator, and possibly as head coach.

Jones also has interviewed several current members of the team's current coaching staff for the position of head coach, which presumably constitutes superficial satisfaction of the Rooney Rule, since secondary coach Todd Bowles is African-American.

If Phillips gets the job, it'll leave Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer with neither of his coordinators from the team's stellar 2006 regular season. And since Schottenheimer refused to accept a one-year extension, it makes us wonder whether team president Dean Spanos might reconsider his decision to keep Marty -- since the team already has to hire new coordinators, anyway

Oh, boy can't wait for Big Wade to be here.

It's all but certain that Phillips will be hired as HC, leaving Garrett as OC and one of Phillips's guys from San Diego, most likley Manusky, as the DC.

Personally I can't wait to see that staff in action. I want to see a 300+ blitz per season defense with these players. We may have more talent on defense than any of us are aware.

I would love any of the 3-4 guys in here... Phillips, Ryan... whoever.

I've got a hunch the team's staff is going to look a bit like last year's.

I would tend to guess that Wade Phillips gets the head coaching gig.

I think Sparano will be given the title of running game coordinator, etc.

I think Garrett will be your new passing coordinator/QB coach, etc. Haley is likely out.

I think there's a pretty good chance that Bowles gets the D-coordinator position too.

I guess the big thing that excites me about Wade coming in here is he may use Ware similar to how he used Merriman this season. And that would be something magnificent.

At a minimum it means we'll double our number of blitzes. That's right -- double. A blitz call almost guarantees that Ware is getting after the QB. If the number of blitzes double, Ware will have a much more significant role as a pass-rusher. I'd imagine he would approach Merriman #s if that were the case. This should be fun to watch.

Arizona wants Haley as OC. So he's gone as soon as we release him to interview.

as of lastnight, a cowboys spokesperson denied reports that the cowboys have contacted the chargers for an interview with phillips

Makes since for the players we drafted on defense.

Come on. The only reason the staff was structured that way last year was because Parcells didn't want to name someone OC so that he would ultimately be the last word on play calling. There is no way that happens again with Parcells gone.

 

[Gaede]

I'm not against Phillips at all...If he can fix the defense, I'm happy. I'd prefer Ryan or Rivera though

Lame Duck Schottenheimer that just refused a contract extension will be in major trouble.

Phillips would be great for Ware and Carp.

If Phillips does come here and makes our defense great, what will that say about BP's job done here last year ?

 

[texastwister]

My question is why not Rex Ryan instead of Phillips? He is younger and runs the 3-4 just like Phillips. Wade may have more knowledge but Ryan is alot younger and could go 5+ years. Wade is 60 , being a HC is alot more work than DC.

I believe Rex is 45.

I'm not sure...I'd prefer Ryan, as I'm sure everyone else on the board would

and they're both fat, so it's not like weight has anything to do with it

My thoughts exactly, how about Darren Woodson as Bowles replacement in the secondary?
