The Wade Phillips Thread - Status: Not a Candidate for Tampa

If Wade leaves after being here just one year, then he can pack his **** for good and never bother coming back to Texas ever again.

It would be a true slap to the face of his father, Bob McNair, his players, to the city of Houston, and to the fans.

I know it's his life and he can choose for himself. Duh. But with choices come ramifications, and he'd be just another opportunist who looks after himself and doesn't care about the fallout it causes others. IMO, he has to stay one more year here to leave on good terms in THIS fan's eyes.

I'm sure his agent is whispering into his ear that the turnaround of this defense from worst to first is something you capitalize off of and go get that bigger contract. We'll see if Wade has true roots here or if he's a male whore and sleeps with the biggest spender. Sorry if that's harsh, but it is what it is in my eyes.

It'll be put up or shut up time for all this Wade Phillips "head coach" speculation
 
As much as I respect Wade, there is no way he gets this job. They don't have anyone on their D-line that fits the 3-4. And no one that can easily transition to a 3-4 OLB. It would just take too much for Wade to get that team back to winning. Plus they just picked up fatboy from Washington who hated the defense, and do you really want to start off the season creating that kind of drama on the team? Miami makes more sense to me than Tampa does. Neither will happen, but Tampa won't happen for sure.
 
Now that this is adversely affecting MY team.....the NFL needs to make it a rule that no candidates can interview with an NFL team until after the Super Bowl.

They can wait the extra four weeks or so.

Make it a level playing field and make playoff coaches respect their current duties and not have them thinking about where they might end up next year.

The Bucs are quickly becoming my most hated team. First, they go and get the Schaub Killer (Haynesworth) who ends his season and maybe even his career. Second, they are targeting our d-coord. Bastards.

i'm pretty sure that was already a rule. i could of swore that we had to wait until after the play offs to interview kubiak.
 
I'm not at all surprised by this. The defensive performance this year has turned a lot of heads, Phillips has the pedigree and the stated desire to be a head coach again. For the life of me, I don't understand why. He absolutely has it made here as DC. Maybe he should give Dick LeBeau a call.
 
Just McClain running his mouth! PLUS, the poster didn't post a link!! :cutthroat: You guys usually jump all over that sort of thing!! You can't breath on this board without posting a link on how to do it!!:D
 
i just wish we could keep a coordinator for more than 1 season :toropalm:, sherman, shanahan, Smith, Bush, and countless other stay one season and are gone
 
A real man would have said, "Any team trying to contact me, or wants me for their head coach...they can wait until I'm done here. I have a job to do, I have a duty to my players and everyone else in the Texans organization. If some team wants me bad enough, they can wait. Next question, please."

How hard is THAT? Instead, he talks out of both sides of his mouth.

It's just really depressing, as a fan, to sit back and read all this crap that he's saying. The rumors. Speculation. Hey Wade: WE gave you a chance when you got dumped on your ass by Jerry Jones. Now you just use us as a stepping stone in year ONE here?

If he leaves, let the name of Phillips be stricken from the annals of Texas sports lore. Bum, too. He can follow his son and lead the Bucs out of the tunnel for their first game with Wade as HC if it goes down like that.

Sour taste in my mouth today. It should be 100% Texans Talk, and we're getting trickled reports of Wade supposedly a candidate in Tampa AND possibly interviewing too. Sheesh. :voodoo:

agree man, it is B.S that in the middle of our first ever play off run he is talking to other teams. he needs to be preparing the team for the ravens. I thought better of him than that, guess i was wrong.

He and his daddy can go live in Florida for all I care.

I have a feeling the writing is on the wall, folks. The only thing standing in the way is his health and if that scares off Tampa Bay execs making this big of a decision.

Our good fortune becomes someone else's plunder. That would be just typical Houston pro football voodoo, IMO. TYPICAL.

Considering the remarks he's made on this subject, why would you expect anything different? I don't like this one little bit, but I'm certainly not surprised. How many times does he have to fail as HC and succeed as DC before he decides to just be who and what he is: one helluva DC and a decent, at best, HC.
 
It would be a shame for Wade to leave.

Not for the Texans though, for him. I think the best thing that Wade has done was show McNair that bringing in top coaches and paying them is WELL WORTH it. I think it's another thing McNair is learning about running a quality football team. I bet if Wade walks that Mcnair/Smith will bring another big name 3-4 DC to replace him.

For Wade though he has not accomplished much as a head coach. I really think he can build his legacy and become a Lebeau type of guy while here and that with Kubiak on the other side they'll be a coaching duo that will get equal credit.

Wade doesn't need to fall into titles and such like whose the head coach. I think in most fans eyes here he's getting equal credit (and some people give him more credit than Kubes) so I dunno.

I'm hoping the guy is just dipping his toe in the water.

If you're looking at a guy for HC, wouldn't you respect the guy MORE if he stood his ground and showed some balls by telling teams to back off until he's done with his current team?

I mean, if loyalty is an issue..if integrity is an issue...and you want your players to buy into the new HC coming into your locker room and leading your guys in 2012....wouldn't you want it to be a guy who has respect for the team he's currently WITH. And is with in the PLAYOFFS?!?!?!?

LOL. Yeah, stats are great. But it felt like there was more to the Wade Phillips story here than JUST his ability to know defense and make it work. I thought he brought a level of character to the table that the players admired. IMO, it's the intersection of his great defensive understanding AND his ability to be trusted by the players too.

Oh well, it's out of our hands obviously.
 
*on the flip side*

If he is really interested in a HC job, beating the hell out of the Ravens would be a great audition ;)

*trying to think positive*

i figured he would leave but he can take care of his buisness after the play offs. hes still the texans D.C until after the play offs. he needs to focus on the ravens

I think it's actually surprising that he hasn't gotten more interest given all the retreads, has beens and never-weres that get NFL head coaching jobs. I do think there's a pretty good chance he ends up as HC in either Jacksonville or TB next season.

I acknowledge that he was the head coach of winning teams. I don't think he built those teams, anymore than Jim Caldwell buit the Colts when they were winning. I think Sherman is a very viable offensive coordinator. But like former Raider head coach Bill Callahan, Sherman hasn't distinguished himself as a head coach. He certainly didn't look like a special coach at A&M.

I remember Sherman was about to be named head coach of the Arizona Cardinals a few years back. But there was such a backlash against the hiring, the Cardinals owner (or owner's son) pull the offer off the table. There's nothing exciting about him and nothing you can point to that would suggest he is a great hire as a head coach. OK, he can win with Brett Favre in his prime. Unless Brett Favre is walking through that door, why hire Mike Sherman?
 
Phillips will interview with Buccaneers for head coach job

Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips will interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their vacant head-coaching position.

The Texans gave the Bucs permission to interview him, probably Friday. Phillips, who helped the Texans improve from 30th to second in defense, hopes the Bucs will conduct the interview in Houston.

“I’m gratified somebody noticed,” Phillips said. “We’ll talk and see how much interest (Tampa Bay) has in me. I’m torn. I don’t want to leave Houston. I love it here. But I’d like to get a chance to be a head coach again.”

I guess I was just a little too happy this morning about winning a playoff game. The football gods decided H-town was having a little too much success.

I hate to root against Wade on anything, but I'm going to have to hope this job doesn't pan out for him.
 
The crappy thing about this is the players mentality.

Cushing, Ryans, etc...these guys seem to love Wade and now they have to be thinking about if he is returning next year. I'm not worried about if he'll have a gameplan ready for the Ravens. He will.

I'm worried about the players worrying about it.
 
don't leave us wade

I posted a link about this in the Head Coach search thread. Wade is just one of many they are interviewing. According to that ESPN article Childress is their top candidate.

And I, on the other hand, would bet that McNair would promote from within.

McNair is going to think some guy like Reggie Herring or Vance Joseph learned under Wade (in only one year) and absorbed Wade's talents as d-coord.

I wonder if a guy like Gene Chizik is ready to coach NFL ball or if he has something stored up at Auburn worth staying for. Chizik is a helluva' defensive coordinator, folks. He had a top-ranked defense in the SEC and then went to Austin and had a top-ranked Big 12 defense in his very first year there. He knows defense, period.

If I'm owner of the Texans, I'm on the phone finding THE best d-coordinators I can find no matter if it's college or pro football, and I'm setting up interviews with them just like Wade is with certain teams out there. I'm even trying to summon the ghost of Vince Lombardi if I knew how to do it.

But the theme has always been McNair hiring from within. I don't think he could even find the right guy OUTSIDE of this organization anyways. If Wade leaves, the odds are not in our favor to maintain this level of defense we've enjoyed this year. Sorry to be a Doug Downer, but it is what it is. Replicating 2011 with a new guy is not my ideal plan for success in 2012.

Still, Wade shouldn't do this now. League should have a moratorium on hiring through the playoffs. It's just not right.

It's the Catch-22 we're in, DB, that pisses me off.

On one hand, if we continue to go deep into the playoffs...it makes the legend of Wade Phillips loom larger than ever. It secures him the job, IMO.

And on the other hand, if he stinks it up vs. the Ravens...maybe teams out there cool to the idea of him being their HC. Which means we are out of the playoffs and Wade likely stays.

Typical. Houston. Pro Football. Bull****.

If he leaves, Kubiak enters into Sainthood. Period. He becomes the only guy who loves us enough to stay, no matter what happens. Which is awkward on so many levels, tbh.

Nope. Put them all in a shipping container, along with their possessions, and float it down the Gulf to Tampa for all I care. The Bucs front office can meet them at the Tampa Bay wharf and crane that sumbitch off the ship.

Bum can trade in his Stetson for a pirate hat, too.

Honestly I would try Vance...but if Wade goes a lot of his key guys will go as well... Depending on where Wade would go, I guess one of his guys will be the DC.

I think Mcnair is a smart guy. He's seen what hiring new guys has got him, he'll stay away from it unless a young guy really impresses them. After Wade he's not going to just settle for any old DC.

Also though I don't think a guy like Vance would be bad. He seems to have good leadership skills and I wouldn't be surprised to see him as a DC soon.
 
Teams will be hesitant to hired Wade as head coach because of perceived lack of success as HC and, unfortunately for him, questions about his health.

As far as coaches interviewing during playoff runs, that's what happens when you have success.
Many of the teams in the playoffs have coaches interviewing, but they have a very limited window so it doesn't interfere with their current team.
 
I love Wade but he is old and he has health issues. Coupled with how his tenure ended in Dallas i doubt he goes anywhere.
 
Bad timing, and that sucks!! JMO!! Hard to have respect for this game when your top players supposedly shoot you in the back!

I'm with GP!! ONE year and he plans to bail on us??!! Not a warm fuzzzy feeling!
 
Can a mod merge the two threads? LOL. I hate having to go to both of them when all of us are duplicating this discussion.

Make it "The All Encompassing Wade Phillips Rumor" thread and be done with it. Because we've got a week to go before the Ravens game, and it'll hit 15 pages easy as slow as the sports news week will be.
 
What we have to hope for is that Tampa is using him as leverage against other candidates they're more interested in.

Also, can mods merge the two threads? We're duplicating the discussion.

OMG youre such a whiney little BIA. Of course they will interview him, along with COUNTLESS other people. The guy has a 1-5 HC playoff record and during 04-06 with Chargers as DC he did not win a playoff game and during the Vick years in 02-03 he won ONE playoff game as DC. Yes he is great, but we have 5 starters on this team that did not play last season (Watt, Reed, Manning, Joseph and Barwin, not to mention a healthy Ryans, Cushing and a full season with Allen). We upgraded poor talent ( Pollard, Wilson, Okoye, Diles, Bentley, Adibi, Lewis, etc).

Not to mention the guy is what, 64? He would instantly be one of, if not the oldest, HC in the league. Older coaches is OK, but only if you had them, you don't hire a 64 year old, who will be 65 by next season and coming off a surgery like he is. Not to mention, no team out there has the "groceries" like our team. We are the best fit for him and if it is about money, I am sure Uncle Bob will give him more. The guy wants to have leverage to get more, fine by me. If you LOVE your job and another company wants to interview you, you do it, not because you will for sure take it, but you explore your options and use it as leverage.

I doubt he gets offered the job and even if he does, I doubt he takes it. Houston has some of the best medical hospitals in the nation, he is close to family, he gets paid a lot and we're young and dominating after ONE SEASON with no off-season. He is prime position to leave a great mark on his legacy by staying where he is.

Why on earth would Capers want to come back to Houston in a lateral move? Maybe Capers isn't garnering the interest Phillips is. Just because he hasn't been named a candidate for a HC position doesn't mean he doesn't want to be one again.

so if we go into the ravens game with a half ass game plan cause wades head has been else where, you wont be mad ??? Think about what happened with sumlin and the cougars, this is the same scenario and it didnt work out to good for them.
 
Ugh, way to pee in my cheerios wade. Couldn't he at least give us enough respect to not interview while we are in the playoffs? I guess I just don't get it, he can stay here with a team entirely in it's prime and build one heck of a dynasty. Or go HC somewhere and stay below .500 and fade away.
Thanks reality, I needed a reminder that this Is Houston lol.
 
NFL Rules for Interviewing Assistant Coaches

The National Football League seeks to protect the integrity of the game and its member teams by putting in place rules regarding one team's contact with another team's assistant coaches for the purpose of setting up job interviews. The distraction to a team when its coaches are interviewing for jobs elsewhere can be immense, so the NFL limits the type of contact and the timing of that contact.

The Rooney Rule

The NFL has a policy in place that seeks to increase the number of minority candidates considered for available coaching positions, particularly head coaching positions, through the Rooney Rule. The rule requires any team with a vacancy in its head coaching position to interview at least one minority candidate before hiring anyone for the job. This rule often does not achieve its desired result as teams hold token interviews with minority candidates before proceeding to hire the person they wanted to bring in all along.

Promotions

The NFL does not differentiate between levels of assistant coaches in its rules regarding their availability to interview with other teams. Whether the coach is a defensive line coach or an offensive coordinator, the rules are the same. If a team wishes to interview an assistant coach who is still under contract with another team for its head coaching position, the current team is required to give permission for the interview as long as it happens between the end of the team's season and March 1. After March 1, teams can still ask, but the current team is not obligated to give permission.

Lateral Move

An NFL team cannot interview an assistant coach who is under contract as an assistant with another team for the following season without the permission of his current organization. Teams will usually give permission upon request, particularly if a lower level coach is set to take an offensive or defensive coordinator position elsewhere, but the current team is not required to give permission.

During the Season

Teams may not interview assistants from another team for either a lateral move or a head coaching opportunity during the season. The lone exception to this rule comes when teams want to interview assistants for head coaching jobs while the current team is in the playoffs. As there is an urgency to hire new head coaches for some non-playoff teams, the NFL does allow teams to request permission to interview a postseason participant's assistants during the wild card week for teams who have the bye that week. They can also request permission to do so during the first week of Super Bowl preparations as long as there is a two-week break between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. The team only has one chance to talk to the assistant coach, once permission is granted, before the coach's team is eliminated from the playoffs.

The timing is what ticks me off. We're in the middle of a playoff run, and Wade is busy looking for another job?

If our defense completely fails during the Baltimore game, I know who I'm going to blame; and it's not Kubiak.

No, but every thread I go into you are whining like a little 5 year old girl who just got her barbie taken away. we just won our first playoff game EVER and you are complaining, go figure :toropalm:
 
Think maybe that all Wade is doing is bucking for a raise?

"See Mr. McNair . . . Everybody wants me. How bad do you want me back?"

And I'm sure the Denver fans weren't too pleased when there was talk of Kubiak coming to Houston. When you get a playoff successful football team, you get the whole package.
