RF365 - Will Phillips' sugary approach give fans a stomach ache?

In his 11-year career, Terrell Owens has managed to exasperate three pretty good coaches. Let's face it, a dream team of Dr. Joyce Brothers, Sigmund Freud and Dr. Phil wouldn't know how to motivate the talented but enigmatic wide receiver. Is there anybody out there, anyone at all, who can?

Enter new Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips, who's the polar opposite of Bill Parcells, his authoritarian predecessor. How laid back is Phillips?

The 1993 Denver Broncos found out quickly. Early in his rookie season as the Broncos' coach, the team had gotten off the bus and was locked out of an off-site facility. Used to the short-tempered Dan Reeves, the players expected Phillips to blow up. But in his calm, southern drawl, Phillips simply responded: "Is this where I'm supposed to start hollering and carrying on?"

According to Phillips, the easygoing approach can work. He points to the success of Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith as living proof of that.

"Good guys and nice guys can finish first," says Phillips.

I was happy for Tony and Lovie, not only because they got where they got, but because of the way they did it," Phillips said at last Friday's press conference. "The coach stereotype is that you have to get in a guy's face all the time, and holler and scream at him to make him a better player, and I think they disproved that; and I've always believed that."

Were you guys 5-11 or 6-10? I can't remember.

----------------------

Really does it matter NOW? Looking forward to Bum's son taking over in '07? We all know that Wade is a serious step down from Parcells, and if you don't, you will. BTW, Jason Garrett is a fine coach, but neither can overcome JJ doing the picking.

Naaah... that playoff game seems like years ago. I just find some of you guys funny.

What is obviously sad is your post total on a Redskins board of 6K since May of '05. What, you can't get along with your own fans, so you come here and look for attention? :doh:

Whomever we hired as a head coach would suck in your eyes. As far as I'm concerned if Wade wins a playoff game he's an upgrade. Parcells is undoubtedly a legend but that doesn't mean he's the best coach for us right now. I think you should be able to relate to that statement. If you can be honest with yourself, you would admit that Joe Gibbs should no longer be coaching in the NFL.

I get along great with my own fans. It's possible to frequent more than one site. The comedy and homerism is unparalleled here. Hence my post count. Keep up the fun.

Then you'd admit Parcells should have left the NFL after 2004 (6-10)... 1 year after going 10-6 also. Fair enough. I actually think Phillips will be good for TO (unfortunately). TO's a better player when you go with the grain instead of against it. Can he help it if he thought Romo sits to pee was better than Bledsoe? Was he wrong? Sure Phillips sucked with Buffalo, but every HC sucks with Buffalo since Levy. I'm not one who feels you took a step back. Geeeez, I hope I'm wrong :doh:

No and No. I was afraid JJ would actually get an up and comer, but no he went after my number two on my wish list, Norv was 1. And you can bash Gibbs now all you want, but you like the media will be reminded of those words shortly. There is a reason the guy can change sports and be successful. And thankfully he is patient as well. Joe Gibbs will not be denied in the long run, while Bill Parcells saw that he had a uphill battle and ran.

BTW, and you be honest, are you happy to have retained TO, picked up Wade Phillips and lost Parcells? No really homie, be honest. And yes If Wade wins a playoff game I would admit I was wrong, when Gibbs wins one will you?
