Wade Phillips vs. John Fox

The Cowboys "talent" is overrated except Demarcus Ware.

I'd gladly take Romo over Moore. And Austin/Bryant/Williams/Witten are a better squad than Smitty/Gettis/LaFell/Rosario. They have talent. Give them our run game? Yikes.

They just get too much media attention so people expect too much from them. I'd hate that much attention on the Panthers. Lose one game and the world explodes. Sort of like when the Yankees lose.

Romo isn't in my top 10. Austin is good but inconsistent as hell. Bryant is still a rookie. Witten is a beast no lie. They have talent as does any NFL team but let's not act like it's some team that should be winning super bowls year in year out.

I have always wondered why Phillip's keeps getting HC jobs. He has now proven he sucks 3 times over. At least Fox gets his teams motivated, a little late in the season sometimes, but he does get them going. The only good thing about Phillips being in Dallas this season is he will keep them out of the Superbowl. :lol:

Respect for his dad probably has something to do with it.

And in fairness, he is pretty good as a DC. A guy that's really good as a coordinator has a shot to get at least two chances at a head coaching job.

Wade's on his fourth. You can probably attribute the latest one to Jerry Jones wanting someone he could control as much as anything else.

Down by 18, 8-9 minutes to go and he goes for it on 4th and goal from the 6. With the backup QB who has clearly hit a rough spot. It would have been a big lift for the Cowboys and Kitna if they put points on the board there. It's called momentum Wade.

For lot's of reasons the guy is a dumbass.

BTW I am a Redskin fan, not a crybaby Cowboy homer.

Bum Philips sucks. hes done nothing. Id love for him to keep his job :biggrin:

Bum was his daddy.

And on the topic, Fox is actually a better head coach than Wade. Phillips' teams have never even sniffed the Super Bowl. He has exactly one playoff win on his resume' (the one with the Cowboys) in six postseason trips. And that's with four different teams.

Fox may not be my favorite coach, but objectively speaking, Wade's not in his class by a long shot :nonod:

Good DC? Yeah. But you don't want him as a head coach. He's just not built for it.

He keeps getting head coaching jobs because he can field a super nasty 3-4 D. If an owner thinks that they have enough fire power on O, and need that last little bit on D to push them over the edge, why not?

Don't like him as a HC, but I don't hate him either.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
