You can find flaws with how Jerry handled the whole thing, and plenty of people are, but in the end, how can you not like the decision he made after watching that press conference?

Over and over again, we heard phrases like "family", "putting your best players in a position to make plays", etc. A major (and founded) criticism of Parcells is that he would not always do that, and might try to fit square pegs in round holes. Wade's description of what he has done with just the different nose tackles he's coached over the years was a summary of how flexible he is. His easy going nature just reinforced it.

In addition, I was pleased with how charismatic he was. Maybe that's just selfish, but I like listening to PCs, and I like being entertained during them. His jabs at the media (the Terrell Owens jab) some of the other things he said, the guy's just extremely likeable. That charisma no doubt carries over to his players, as we've seen numerous interviews with guys from the Chargers reinforcing that.

He's going to do some fantastic things with our defense. The staff issues (if you perceive them that way) will work themselves out. He's handling that, too, in the best possible manner. We've got playmakers on this team, certainly more than they did in Buffalo when he was there - I'm excited to see how he designs things for them.

Heck, I'm just excited. I thought he was the right choice all along, and I'm glad Jerry made that choice, especially after hearing him talk about being a Texan, and getting those Cowboy boots back in Texas. Nice.....See ya at the draft, Wade.

I had no idea who the right choice was. There was no one person that stood out as a must hire in my mind, but I am very pleased with Wade.

I too am very excited about this upcoming season. I think Wade might be just the kind of guy to take the reigns from BP.

BP got the ball rollin and hopefully Wade can help the Cowboys get over the hump. It should be fun.

Wade Phillips was given a raw deal in both Denver and Buffalo, and to think the Bills have really impressed since letting him go....

Surprising to me most of all was his under-stated, but very evident self-confidence.

And he is not an egotistical dictator like his predecessor.

Anyone who knows football knows Wade's reputation as a truely nice person. I'm glad he's getting a shot in Dallas.
