PHILLIPS' INEPTITUDE IS A PERCEPTION?
By mark rogers

At least that's what he'd like you to think. He was quoted on Monday as saying that he would probably never be a head coach again because of "the perception" that he's not a good coach.
Wait a second...the perception??
Did I read that right? Wade thinks that taking the keys, getting his rear end situated in the driver's seat of a brand new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (paid for by Jerry Jones), then proceeding to drive that Benz through a nursing home, over an endagered baby Panda, into a life-sized portrait of Tim Tebow, and over a cliff is a perception?
Um....no.
Bill Parcells is the antithesis of Wade Phillips so I'll use a famous Bill Parcells-ism here: You are what your record says you are.
Yeah, the Cowboys probably should have gone 7-1 or 6-2 in the last half under Jason Garrett, but they didn't. They went 5-3, which is exactly what they were in the second half of the season. They were a 6-10 team that went 6-10.
Phillips has won 82 games...quite a few. But he's 1-5 in the post-season. That's not a perception. There's no smoke and mirrors casting an illusion on reality.
Phillips is not head coaching material. And he almost publicly admitted that. It's totally fine to not be head coaching material. I'm not head coaching material. 99% of the population isn't head coaching material.
Phillips is a good defensive coordinator...a good assistant. And he almost admitted it...
If he just hadn't said that thing about the perception.
I'm sure Wade Phillips is a great man. He seems to be very lovable and cuddly. That's great. I used to not be able to fall asleep without something lovable and cuddly wrapped underneath my arm.
But I just don't want that coaching the Dallas Cowboys.
