Did Wade Philips put his name and Tom Landry in the same sentence?

Appearing on The Bruce Smith Show, Phillips explained that getting fired from a head-coaching job makes it harder to get another head-coaching job, regardless of any success the coach has had as a head coach.

“The perception is once you’re fired that you’re not a very good head coach,” Phillips said. “It happened to me in Buffalo. We were 29-19 in Buffalo. Once I was fired there I couldn’t get a head-coaching job because they thought, you know, I wasn’t a good enough coach. They didn’t look at my record, they just said, ‘Oh, gosh, he’s fired, so we gotta get somebody else.’ It took me a long time to get another head-coaching job. You know, we went 34-22, which is pretty good. I went out as the same winning percentage of Tom Landry, so I don’t feel bad about my head-coaching career. I think they’re gonna look at me more as a coordinator, and that’s fine with me. I just wanna coach.”

      Did someone say "hybrid" player?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      OK, we are letting our top RB go.  We have Chuba, Etienne, and Brooks.  Imagine a player who could LEGITIMATELY play the slot and back up at RB?  I am sure he'd be a special team player as well.  I noticed him at the combine, and thought, "Here is a late rounder who could stand out as a slot and provide depth at RB. Without further ado....(I know one Huddler who might be able to tell us more about this guy): Navy running back/wide receiver Eli Heidenreich headlined the 2026 NFL Combine for the Midshipmen, running an official 4.44-second 40-yard dash and recording 16 reps on the bench press. Recognized as a versatile, "Swiss army knife" offensive weapon, Heidenreich solidified his draft stock as a potential day three target.    Eli Heidenreich (RB/WR - Navy) 2026 Combine Performance: 6'0" 200 lbs.   40-Yard Dash: 4.44 seconds. 10-Yard Split: 1.55 seconds. Vertical Jump: 35.5 inches. Broad Jump: 10' 0". Bench Press: 16 Reps. Highlights: Showcased as a premier receiving threat from the backfield, having left Navy as the program's all-time leader in receiving yards (1,994). High character.  Smart.  Maybe, just maybe....

      I don’t think the concept is bad thinking. That money this year is a ball buster, for getting nothing out of it.
