Son of a Bum! The Cowboys Have a New Coach

Afer all of that-it’s Wade Phillips?  That’s what most people will cry around here.  I personally think that Phillips will be great for this defense.  Brady James might even be able to learn how to cover a fullback out of the backfield under Phillips.  However, what happens with the offense?  Is Jason Garrett ready after being a coach in this league for two years?  That scares me.  And most of you reading this will at some point in the fall say, "Norv Turner should have gotten the job."  The San Francisco 49ers are the happiest organization in the league right now.  Frank Gore might have just torn his hamstring doing a backflip because his offensive coordinator is apparently headed back to the bay.
I’m happy on one side of the ball, but a little worried how Terrell Owens gets along with a rookie O.C.  I think it can work, but I hope Garrett can learn quickly on the job or this will be a complete failure.  It sure would be tough losing 14-10 eight times.  Tony Romo will now have to step up and be the face of the offense and the leader on the field.  No longer will he be given the luxury of a free pass since he’s a rookie quarterback.  Dallas fans expect big offensive numbers and more importantly wins.  We’re continually looking for the next Roger and Troy (I’d settle for a replica of Danny White though).
One thing is for sure.  Jerry Jones has learned some valuable lessons and it’s is VERY apparent now.  The old Jerry would have hired Norv Turner immediately and went looking for Dave Wandstedt, Butch Davis, Dave Campo and the famous Coach Joe.  Jones no longer is a pack-rat sentimental owner.  Today shows that he wants to take advantage of all of the defensive players that he’s drafted and spent so much money on in the past few years.
The good:  48-39 as head coach in the NFL,
The bad:  0-3 in the playoffs.
The ’Boys may or may not have made the right choice on the new head coach, but one thing’s for sure...his dear ol’ dad will make Cowboy hats and boots popular again at Texas Stadium
