NOOOOOO! Wade Phillips to Dallas

As the 49er Faithful rejoice!! After the progress made last year, I was actually a bit worried about the effect of Norv going to Big D. Now, I can think about more important things, like the impending championship run of the Warriors!

As for Bum Phillips, I loved the Oilers in the '70s, Luv Ya Blue! But for a bad call in the back of the end zone (the white Burrough?), the Oilers go to the '77 or '78 Super Bowl.

 

... what ... the ... f***?

 

As long as they have Owens, they won't win anyway.

 

I'm not convinced he'll be back. Probably, but I bet they aren't sure themselves.

 

My take exactly. If he hadn't been a coach before he would've been one of the best hires. Granted, he has coached, but he was mediocre, and if anything a step above that before a step below.

For those saying if Garrett is so good, make him the head coach now, I don't think this is a bad move. Reports have said other teams wanted him as an offensive coordinator and he has more than two years of coaching experience. He's basically been a coach since he entered the league with the clipboard.

But like I said, Phillips won't finish the contract. JJ will have a high-profile pick walking into the new stadium.

 

Heard a clip on ESPN Radio in which Wade said, "First of all I don't handle players. I work with them."

Then he mentioned the Ingrate from Hell by name, to elicit some laughter. Decent comedic timing, I gotta admit.

I got to know Wade some back in the day, when he was still pretty much Son of Bum. He's a likable guy. But this has disaster written all over it, which is good.

 

I'm confused. If he doesn't last three years, will it, in hindsight, be a terrible choice?

 

Like I said before, he's way too fat for an NFL gig.
