Ah sweet, sweet schadenfreude.
Search is your friend.
As a Giant fan, I think this firing is completely unwarranted and was hoping Phillips would remain the head coach of the Cowboys forever. /evilgrin
Does anyone bother to search anymore? Or is the search function just broken?
argh
Bad decision...he’s a good coach. Jerry Jones should have stepped down as GM and hired a real GM. The NFL has a short season, only 16 games. It’s easy to start off 1-7 if your players make some dumb mistakes and you have some key injuries. Would they fire an NBA coach after a 1-7 start when his top player has been injured? Of course not. I watched the game last night and the Cowboys didn’t play that badly. Their backup QB, Kitna, just isn’t good enough to throw effectively against the Green Bay defense, and Green Bay played an excellent game on both offense and defense. Jerry Jones made the decision to pick Kitna as the backup QB. When your starting QB is injured your team just doesn’t get as fired up to play and doesn’t focus as well. All of that combined into a rout by Green Bay, but it’s only one game.
“Shoulda happened 3 months agao. “
Shoulda happened 3 years ago.
The search function is rarely used in more recent days from what I’ve observed, and the lack of it is making FR a mess.
How abouts them Cowgirls.......
Yeah I saw other reports of Phillips being fired. Nothing in Beaking News, though. So I posted this in Breaking News.
The mods decided this was not newsworthy enough, so they bumped it to chat.
Whatever.
I guess that only leaves more room in News/Activism for all the blog pimps to plagiarize.
Whaterver.
Sorry, I don’t feel sorry for millionaires...
No wonder why the Patriots and Steelers have been dominate over the last decade. Their coaches have complete control over decision-making.
OTOH, if an NBA team that was expected to win its division had a 5-36 record for the first half of the season, most NBA owners would probably dump the head coach at that point too. The problem isn't just the one rout by Green Bay. The Cowgirls were routed by Jacksonville, and by the Giants, and by Tennessee. They lost to the Chicago Bears when a pathetic QB picked their defense apart like it was a junior varsity squad. The 1-7 start is due to a lot of factors, but mostly due to stupid, undisciplined, and underachieving play by a bunch of guys who SHOULD do much better. The season is down the drain, and firing Wade is a little like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, but things NEEDED to be shaken up.
Should have happened two years ago.
He obviously didn’t have the team ready to play ball this year.
Bring back Jimmy!!!!
I’m glad they waited. I have the Packers defense in Fantasy Football.
I would agree except for one thing. While I've never posted here, I do often search trying to find an old thread. Sometimes it is amazingly difficult.
I usually start with a word in the title. When I get no results I next try the keyword. So help there are threads I know where here and I am pretty sure I remember some of the words in the title - but cannot find them no matter how many times I search!
It is very frustrating when I want to show an older thread to my wife, and no amount of searching will produce it. If it is because they have been deleted, then I must have the worst luck in the world because it has happened many times.
Well, this was unexpected.
