Vote: Is Phillips the right man for the Dallas job?


 Dallas Cowboys
Talk about an interesting head coaching search. Jerry Jones certainly kept the Dallas Cowboys in the headline through all of the Super Bowl hype.

There was the hiring of Jason Garrett for a "job to be determined", along with interviews with highly thought of minds from the offensive (Norv Turner) and defensive (Wade Phillips) sides of the ball. That was followed by post-Super Bowl meetings with Colts assistant head coach Jim Caldwell and Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. And those were just the major players in the search for Bill Parcells' successor.

Ultimately, Jones decided to offer the job to Phillips, the former Chargers defensive coordinator who played a major role in making San Diego the best team in the regular season in 2006. Did Jones make the right choice in Phillips? Will Phillips improve the Cowboys' defense? Will he finally win his first playoff game as a head coach with Dallas? Give us your vote!

  • 1) Are you surprised by the Cowboys' choice of Wade Phillips for the head coaching job?
  • 2) Which of these candidates was the best man for the job?
  • 3) What kind of relationship will Terrell Owens have with his new head coach?
  • 4) The Cowboys finished 13th in yards allowed and 20th in points allowed last season. What effect will Phillips have on the defense in 2007?
  • 5) Will the Cowboys make the playoffs in 2007?
  • 6) Phillips is 48-39 in the regular season as a head coach, but 0-3 in the playoffs. Will Phillips win a playoff game in his first two seasons with the Cowboys?
