Wade Phillips is the new DC

[Joshua]

I guess I missed when all those other candidates Bob and Gary told us they would be interviewing came to town. Gotta love the due diligence of this bunch. Of course, with their track record of success on defense, why waste time interviewing more than 1 person? Clearly, they know what they are doing.

Wade is dening that he has been offered the job. He is coming in for an inverview tomorrow.

According to John McClain

Good for Wade and good for us!

Do I need to mention Dom Capers success as a DC verses a HC?

Very good move if/when it happens. I just hate having him be next in command if Kubiak gets fired mid-year next year.

I hear ya, but if Kubiak is fired mid-season next year........does it really matter?

There is a little denial going on right now, IMO, it just doesn't matter. This deal was likely done prior to the final whistle on Sunday.

Side note - McClain's twitter page indcated that Kubiak DID have a conversaton with Marvin Lewis last night, of course, that is a mute point since he resigned to be the HC for the Bungles.....

I wouldn't worry too much about this. It would take a 1-7 start, players quitting on him, his mother disowning him, etc. for Bob to pull the plug..... Bob's MO is patience....

So let me get this straight, in order to show the fans that the team is prepared to act in order to repair the worst defense in recent history (and an offense that simply could not score in the first half) they are going to hire as Defensive Coordinator a 65 year old failure whose preferred scheme does not fit the current roster, at all?

This is nothing more than a cynical PR move to feed some red meat to the Don't Mess With Texas crowd. What utter bullshit. This franchise is a joke.

So True.

A good Ol boy(McNair) hires a good Ol boy(Kubes) that hires another good Ol boy(Wade).....great plan.

When McNair said it was about having the 3rd best offense during my lunch, I almost spit up coke, wtf is he talking about......it's harder to say that he extended him three more years last year and he's not about to give that up!



And if we have all these players' coaches who's gonna jump on their ass when they screw up??

Wake me up when McNair's done with his wet dream...
