I like Wade Phillips, I wanted him to do well, but truth to tell he probably should have been fired a few week ago. The Cowboys are 1-7 and looked really bad in their last game against the Green Bay Packers on national TV.
I'm watching them play today with their new coach, Jason Garrett and the announcers mentioned that Garrett had instituted some NEW rules - players had to be on time for meetings, and they had to dress in suits and ties when flying.
And I'm thinking of everything announcers and people had ever said about Wade Phillips - that he was the nicest guy in the NFL...and I guess niceness didn't include discipline.
I guess he assumed grown men would just naturally know enough to be on time for team meetings, and to dress appropriately when travelling.
But you'd've thought Phillips, after his first three or four games this season, would have figured out he needed to instill some discipline in his team...but I suppose after four years of letting his team do whatever they wanted, he couldn't suddenly do an about face and start acting like a coach.
Anyway. this just goes to show that discipline is necessary. The Cowboys are playing a lot better today!
