that would be GREAT. It gets Jerry off the hook with Garrett's salary...and it prevents Jerry from handing the reigns of this franchise over to Garrett.theogt;2537476 said:

I'd like to believe the OP's theory but I'm part of that group that says I'll believe it when I see it.
If that happens I'd love it. I just don't know that I believe it will happen.

Wade had control in buffalo with a tremendous defense and a very good running game.
he didnt do anything with it. The whole city loved him, flutie and the defensive players loved him.
He didnt win anything. Why would anyone believe he is capable of doing anything more, throw in jerry and its laughable to believe he can change or do something more.
it is what it is, a really bad situation with no easy solution.

I think jerry jones gets maligned for no reason. Just because he is an owner who actually cares about his team and is actively involved instead of being some rich fat cat who just shows up to his luxury suite on Sundays, he gets labeled for being the real coach.
Jerry is not a fool. The bottom line is that he wants to win. If it means allowing a coach to make his own decisions, he will allow that. Jerry is not Al Davis. Jerry is not the type of owner who says you have to win his way or else.
The problem is that Wade Phillips is not an authoritative figure and he never has been. The head coach is more of a symbolic figure anyway. He is a motivator and a symbol for the rest of the team. The coordinators call the plays unless the head coach makes an exception and gets involved. The head coach sets the discipline and tone of the lockerroom. The discipline on this team has faded since Parcells left. Wade is not an intimidating figure and sometimes players need to feel a little scared. I don't think you have to overdo it like Parcells and take away players' dignity but Wade is pretty chill.
I don't think Jerry is keeping Wade as a puppet. I think Jerry genuinely feels Wade is a good guy and the players genuinely respect him. I think Jerry wants to give Wade a second chance. Also, the alternatives are not realistic. With Mike Holmgren and Bill Cowher, you would have to replace most of your assistants and instill a brand new philosophy which would require a learning curve and essentially starting over.
The only coach that I can see succeed given our situation is Marty Schottenheimer. He could come here, leave the assistants alone and be an old fashioned talker, motivator and disciplinarian and work within the system. The only problem is Mary chokes and gets conservative in the playoffs

How did the Colts go 4-0 in December and make the playoffs?
They have a good QB.
That's it.

Our HC is definately a problem, a HUGE problem but I wouldn't group our QB in with him at all. This was only Romo's 2nd full year as a starter and trying to get it done with absolutely zero discipline on the team....
