The Dallas Cowboys: Seven Coaches and a Baby

​In this week's Dallas Observer column in which I surmise that Wade Phillips is entering his last season - win, lose or drawl - I tell the story of riding up a training camp elevator with the Dallas Cowboys' head coach.

Sounds riveting, I know. But wait, there's more! Watching Wade interact with a young'un turned into a psychological exercise.

Faced with a baby asleep in a stroller, Phillips bent down, got this big, sweet, smile on his face and offered in his best Texas drawl - "Aww, sacked out." It was actually a neat moment. An NFL head coach on the eve of a grueling, demanding, month-long training camp acting, well, perfectly human.

As usual, it got me to thinking.

Whereas Phillips morphed into doting grandpa when faced with the zonked out kiddo, I can't help but imagine how the other head coaches in Cowboys' history would've handled the encounter ...



Tom Landry: "Hi there, future Cowboy."

Jimmy Johnson: "(Crickets)"

Barry Switzer: "Look at you, you cute lil' some*****!"

Chan Gailey: "Well, I reckon this is my floor. Wait, no it ain't. Is it?!"

Dave Campo: "I'll have to ask Jerry."

Bill Parcells: "See, babies in Joy-zee don't require sleep, mmm 'kay?"

 

[superpunk]

Um....seriously?

The Barry Switzer one was the only good one. Not worth an article though.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I wonder how long it took him to come up with that one.

 

[Padd]

The crickets for Jimmy was great.

 

[Hostile]

Awwwwwwwwww. How cute.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Just what the heck was that? That's what passes as sporting news? Good lord no wonder these folks always want to make anything they can into a circus when it comes to Dallas. If there isn't stuff like that to write, and they're left to their own stuff, they're apparently even more terrible.

 

[adbutcher]

And he gets paid for this? Let's hope that is not very much.

 

[Temo]

Yea, nobody in Jersey talks like that. You want to impersonate a Jersey accent, do it right.

I'm sure he thought this was funny and a good idea when he was typing it out.

Kind of like all of Bob's posts. :laugh2:

I bet, in Philly, Andy Reid would eat the baby.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Born, raised, and still living in New Jersey and I have YET to here someone call it JOY-ZEE.

So stupid.

I read Whitt's article and, as usual, it got me to thinking: What would some of the previous head coaches say about it?



Tom Landry: "Hi there, future Cowboy janitor."

Jimmy Johnson: "(Crickets + cold stare)"

Barry Switzer: "You're a stupid lil' some*****!"

Chan Gailey: "I liked it!"

Dave Campo: "Jerry said his 6 year old grandson could do better."

Bill Parcells: "You would get whacked in Jersey for that ****."
