W. Phillips Judgement... b. read Quotes...

[Quarterback Coach]

I know the moron is gone...and none more happy than myself...but someone just sent these to me...how did we hire a guy like this?

Read can laugh now at the absurdity of the Cowboys - with all of their problems - targeting the special teams coach as the first to go.

Does this idiot not see why HE was let go?????


Read has been let go by the San Diego Chargers, the New York Giants, and the Dallas Cowboys and now he's back - for a third time - in Corvallis, working with college kids instead of professionals.

WHY did we hire him????


Bruce Read said he actually enjoys moving around, and he and his family had fun in San DIego, NY, and Dallas. ... he has put in seven years in the NFL and is fully vested in terms of pension, and says "one more contract'' will put him in a sweet financial position when he retires and can start collecting that NFL pension. ... being fired three times in the NFL hasn't left any visible scars on the guy.
Riley said that he values Read's opinion on special teams personnel so much, he was even sending him film to look at when Read was with the NY Giants. It was Read who convinced Riley to go after PK Jose Cortez, and P Sam Paulescu, and P Johnny Hekker.
Paulescu, incidently, became the Dallas punter after McBriar went down. ... McBriar's back, so Sam's days in Dallas are probably done.

I'm sorry...who the hell says this...


At one point in Dallas' lost season, two other assistants were assigned to help Read with special teams - LB coach Reggie Herring and safeties coach Brett Maxie. ... the move was perceived as being an example of how little confidence Wade Phillips had in Read. ... Read said that as far as he is concerned, he and Phillips have a decent relationship. .. Riley told me that several players rallied to Read's defense when he was getting killed by everyone, "and that doesn't happen very often in that league.''

What?


This is his defense:

Read said the special teams coach feels a particular kind of heat because he's dangling out there by himself. "It's the worst, because there's no other guy,'' he said. 'You're front and center, and you can never have a bad play. Every kicker should make every kick and every guy should tackle every guy. ... it's just you. And you've got these other guys who play for you and nobody knows who they are.'' ... until they make a catastrophic mistake

He sounds like a real idiot. Thank goodness he's gone. As much as I complain about Red and Michelin man, I am confident the coaching staff is much better without Stewart and Read.

 

[Aikbach]

Who is Dallas' defensive coordinator officially? I haven't been around to catch that, is Wade taking that on?

 

[Hostile]

Bruce Read isn't worth a pimple on Joe DeCamillis' ***.

LOL

 

[Aikbach]

Anyone notice how Dallas has only hired guys named Joe and Bruce as special teams coaches the past 20 years?

Joe Avezzano 1989-2002
Bruce DeHaven 2003-2006
Bruce Read 2007-2008
Joe DeCamallis 2009-?

 

[Aikbach]

As for defensive coordinator, i guess Wade will do it as the team has not designated anyone to the job according to their website.

'You're front and center, and you can never have a bad play. Every kicker should make every kick and every guy should tackle every guy. ... it's just you. And you've got these other guys who play for you and nobody knows who they are.''

It's not that nobody expects a bad play, but how about not having the worst special teams unit in the NFL and giving up a 40+ yard return in almost every single game? Is that unreasonable?

As far as Im concerned Wade was a failure as a HC last year ... his team played horribly sloppy and undisciplined ball, they led the NFL in penalties, the team not only disolved and fractured ... but did it in the media and in the public eye, and they didn't even bother to show up in the final game of the season with the playoffs on the line. Im not talking about a bobbled long snap at the end of a hard fought game, I'm talking about all 3 units showing a complete disinterest in competing with all the chips on the table. He may have drawn some X's and O's on a chalkboard, but I don't know how Wade can look anyone in the eye and say he did a good job last year as far as what being a head coach entails and leading a team. At the forefront was keeping Read when it was obvious from the previoeus year that he was completely in over his head. Ditto for Brian Stewart. If you're stripping them of duties by the 2nd month of the season, obviously you didn't have much confidence in them in the first place and they should have been replaced before we just flushed another year of opportunity down the toilet. You cant expect the players to take you seriously when you can't even hold your own coaching staff to a level of competence.

Absolutely the worst coaching hire since Bruce Coslet.

That's pretty harsh...coming from a Mod.

Why do people think I am a Mod when sharing my opinion? I will never understand that. Also I broke no rules. I typed the word out as we tell people to do. However, if it offends you then you should report the post.

Best move of the off-season was the special teams coach hire...

I guess the author of this article never investigated the fact that Mike Zimmer had glossy photos of Jerry Jones committing some heinous act which allowed Mike to pretend to be a DC for all those years.

When your DC is asked about the blitz in a press conference and he has to ask the mediot what that is, something must have been occurring behind the scenes for him to keep his job.

The guy just couldn't coach. There is no way around that. I'm sure he's a really great guy, and players loved playing for him, but he sucked at coaching.

I don't even think he had the players believing in him. Folk was coached to be a directional kicker and many of the players we had on the special teams units didn't want to do it anyways.

Given the nature of the unit, it always pays to have a coach out there who is proactive, aggressive and fiery. That's why DeCamillis has been successful everywhere he's been.

You can take one look at Read and tell he's a bit miscast.

That's pretty harsh coming from a Mod...

:laugh2:

 

[Screw The Hall]

Absolutely the worst coaching hire since Bruce Coslet.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

 

[Arch Stanton]

Absolutely the worst coaching hire since Bruce Coslet.

I see a trend....another Bruce. There should never be another coach named Bruce ever hired again.

DeCamillis doesn't look like an average Joe.

Nope...even I know to type now...mostly cause I have a reprimand point...but none the less...
