Cowboys Head Coach



Ever since the Tuna swam his way out of the proverbial media crazed ocean that is the Dallas Cowboys, the shark Jerry Jones has been looking to hook his next coach.

Now the popular and initial reaction from the majority of media experts has been that former Cowboys coordinator Norv Turner will be the next man with the job. I however maintain that out of the now 10 candidates that have been interviewed, one stands out as the best choice. Wade Phillips. He may not be the popular choice nor will he ever have a sound bite worthy of Bill Parcells but talking
pure X's and O's, I think Phillips can achieve the quickest results.

The teams Phillips has helped turn around include Denver (defensive coordinator and head coach), Buffalo (defensive coordinator and head coach), Atlanta (defensive coordinator) and San Diego (defensive coordinator). He runs the 3-4 defense so the Cowboys wouldn't have to spend a year or two restructuring the defense and since Jason Garrett is already on board, he can have full control over the offense.

My Choice:
Head Coach- Wade Phillips
Offensive C- Jason Garrett
Defensive C- Mike Singletary

The More Sexy Media Choice:
Head Coach- Norv Turner
Offensive C- Jason Garrett
Defensive C- Ron Rivera

I could be right or completely wrong, but I hope whoever Jones decides to hire, they can purchase T.O. a new pair of receivers gloves because the other ones aren't getting the job done.
