"Wade Phillips is now going to distribute steroids to the Cowboys' D?"

Yeah, Like Wade was taking weekend trips to Tijuana, buying up tons of steriods and handing them out in the training room. Get a grip dude. The hate will just eat you up from the inside out.

Sorry, buddy, but I don't hate the Cowboys. In fact, I don't care about them beyond finding humor in how the team keeps spinning its wheels each year. Every year they do just enough to make people think they're going to be big next year, and they do nothing. (And, no, I'm not a fan of a team in your division.)

The point is, you claimed it was Wade Phillips who made the Chargers' defense "dominant" this year. Wade Phillips did no such thing. The magic scrotum-shrinking drugs did that, and now Shawne Merriman can't take the things again because he's under scrutiny. Expect him to suck next year, and no, it won't be because Wade Phillips has left.

You're deluding yourself if you think Jones hired Phillips to make the team better. Jones hired Phillips because Phillips won't question True Head Coach Jones' decisions. Like, say, hiring Jason Garrett. Or trying to hire Ron Rivera.

As a Dallas fan, I'm ok with the Phillips hire.

Parcells' selfish stonewalling left paltry choices for a new head coach in the upcoming year. Phillips was the best choice out there IMHO, given the sitation Dallas is in. They have an established roster that just needs to come together and take it to the next level with a few tweaks. Especially on defense, which is where Phillips has some good cred and experience.

This hire is trying to make the best of a shaky situation. It's easy for armchair NFL owners to rag on a head coach, I do it too. Wade did pretty good with a medicore Buffalo team. If the least he can do is to get the Dallas defense playing well together and becoming a force, he will have done a good job.
