He had more than just an appendectomy.

Coach Joe D is an awesome person and a very inspired coach. The players should really feed off what that man does for the team and the sacrifices he has made to be there.

 

[zrinkill]

He is gonna be a headcoach one day ...... I would love for it to be with us.

 

[goliadmike]

How can you not be inspired by that man?

 

[Rampage]

Coach D is the man

He's the only suitable in-house succeson to Wade Phillips. Garrett may be working his way there one day, but coach D is there now!

Every Cowboy fan presumably loves DeCamillas. He is symbolic of the toughness and determination we want to see in all those associated with the organization.

With that said I don't know that DeCamillas is anymore qualified to be a HC than Jason Garrett. He's essentially done nothing but ST's for 15 of his 20 NFL years. His other 5 years of experience are sketchy from what I can find - meaning very little.

Does he have more collective coaching years? Yes. But he's seen nowhere near the complexity in his role that Garrett has in his 3 years as OC.

Could Joe be a successful HC? Maybe so. But he's not a more qualified candidate than Garrett on paper. Just sayin.

Its easy to fall in love with DeCamillas, and I too love his commitment, passion, determination and results of his ST work. Lets just keep it in its proper context.

John Harbaugh was a longtime ST coach for the Eagles before he got the Ravens job.

Why has he seen less complexity, anyway? ST is more than just run down and hit someone.

John Harbaugh is older and had less NFL coaching experience at the time he got the Ravens job. He also was a long-time Special Teams coach. DeCamillis is definitely a big head coaching candidate, and real soon.

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

There are two kinds of head coaches: The ones that came up as O and D coordinators, who like to put their mark on the team in that regard, and the ones that hire good coordinators and let them handle more of the offensive and defensive gameplanning.

I think Coach D would be more of the 2nd type, but from what I've seen as long as he hired good coordinators to handle those things he'd be a terrific head coach. He seems like a very motivational coach, and the players feed off him, which is a big part of being a HC.

 

[Romo2Dez4six]

this guy is tough as nails

 

[FLCowboyFan]

He is my hero! I would like to think that I would react to the situations he has had as heroically as he has done. But I doubt many men would be able to

 

[Idgit]

I've posted before that I think Camillis should be a top HC candidate if anything happened to Wade. Great mentality, dedicated, players and fans love him, and he's earned consideration if its a move he wants to make.

He'd need good coordinators, but his connections through Wade and others mean he probably runs in circles where he's got a list of candidates he could work with. By all accounts, he's super-organized and there's no doubting what type of coaching he's brought to our ST unit.

He is gonna be a headcoach one day ...... I would love for it to be with us.

I love his fighting spirit and the inspiration he's been for this team (not to mention the improvements he's brought to the special teams unit), but I've seen nothing that shows me he'll ever be a head coach or aspires to be.

Some coaches find their niches and stay in them throughout their careers. I think DeCamillis has found his and will continue to show he's one of the top special teams coaches in the league.

 

[gmb85]

He's a special coach, that's for sure.

John Harbaugh - September 23, 1962 (age 47)

Joe DeCamillis - June 29, 1965 (age 44)

Three years make a big difference..

Well, yea, my point is that they are on similar career paths, so it wouldn't be a big surprise to see DeCamillis get his shot as well. (Health willing)

If a guy is 55 and still a ST coordinator, then you could probably say that he'll never get a shot, but at 44 he's still kinda in the "prime" of his coaching career.

As much as I would love for Coach D to be the HC of this team next year, I know it won't happen.

I also think it will pay big huge dividends for us going into the playoffs, players will see how tough Joe D is and they wont want to fail on special teams etc..

What do you think zoners?
