Via ABC 13: Phillips named DC (premature/false report/NOW DONE DEAL)

Not excited, not optimistic.

2 More years of :kubepalm:

Followed by 5 more years of :wadepalm:

Another 7 years of 8-8.



ps: sure hope there is crow for me to eat this time next year, but I am not holding my breath.

Well I figure in 7 years, Bill Belichick will have retired and wants to coach again. It will be known that the Texans are a team he is interested in. Instead of firing Bum Jr, Norv Turner (who will have been fired earlier in the season) will be brought in to be the new Offensive Coordinator. This temporary path will cause Belichick to look elsewhere and ultimately take another HC spot.

Yay 360 degrees of incompetence!
 
I wonder if this is going to end up being more of a cooperation thing between Kubiak and Phillips, or if it will be Kubiak acting as Phillips boss. I imagine that Phillips will have full control of the D, so Kubiak really won't be his boss at the end of the day.

In July 2015 NASA’s New Horizon’s spacecraft will rendezvous with Pluto. I suspect McNair will then have a new planet to look for head coaches.
 
Wade does have a 13-3 record on his resume. I still don't want him to ever be our head coach, but our current one has never been close to that.

You know what would be funny yet quiet? A Kubiak/Wade shouting match. It would be an extremely wary one as well.
 
I don't have a problem with the Texans hiring Phillips. What I do have a problem with is that once again no real search was made to fill the position. McNair flat out does not know how to run this franchise. He made his mind up before the season was even over and then tried to sell the fans on the idea with the pr move that insulted our intelligence. For someone that befriends all his employees and becomes emotionally tied to them and is patient to a fault when it comes to firing them McNair sure is the exact opposite when it comes to hiring. McNair seems to focus on someone and jump the gun to hire them. This formula is disasterous. He needs to hire a guy like Parcells to oversee this organization.
 
Rock on, at least we'll have someone with a track-record of actually having coached a defense at the pro level successfully.

8-8 will be a huge improvement next year!

Welcome back to Houston Wade.

Gary: Look wade, I'll kick your tail!
Wade: You talkin to me? YOU talking to me?
Gary: Wade, what the heck are you talking about?
Wade: Say hello to my little friend!
Gary: Go sit down Wade.
Wade: OK
 
2.1 million over 3 years, makes him the highest paid DC in the league. Now go out and get a whole bunch of top talent in FA.

I would totally agree with you if they had gotten another crappy no-experienced DC (for the 3rd time), but Wade Phillips is not that. While true, no other candidates were really sought after or even asked, I'm perfectly fine with Wade Phillips as a DC. I've seen what he's done for some really abject failures of a defense (Chargers 2003 were horrible, and then turned into a fairly decent unit that got better and better from '04 - '06) and I like what I've seen. Especially if he can turn one of our players into a contender for the sack title each year that'd be just fine too.
 
I wonder if we will pick up a guy like Marcus Spears to add some competition on the DL and help kickstart Wade's scheme with the defense?

Terrance Newman is another Cowboy who is up for free agency and could help the team.

Nice to see you completely misrepresenting what I said.

I said I would be mad because it could, potentially, show utter incompetence by owner & GM for not stepping in sooner and getting a true, experienced d-coord instead of first-timer Frank Bush.

I reported this horsecrap, and even if nothing is done about it, others will know that you are taking that line out of context. I don't find it funny that you don't understand TRUE humor (the way you pissed & moaned about people trying to find and provide some actual humor amidst all this) and thus feel the need to be intentionally twisting to get your rocks off.

You're on the ignore list, jackwagon.

Now that is funny! I am not trying to misrepresent anything. I just thought that statement was sig worthy.
 
What's that? Speak up, old timer!

I can't hear ya' cuz I got ya' on my fancy eeeg-nore list.

Yeah, I get it.

People with no "real" humor think the intentional misrepresentation of another person's words is somehow hilarious.

It speaks more to the true, underlying (with heavy emphasis on the "lying" part of the word underlying") of a person's character.

I would never even think to do something like that, and so if JB wants to be "that guy" then let him. Choices, ya' know.

I said, in another post, that IF (since it's a really big "if" right now) Kubiak and Wade go deep into the playoffs, it would make me really mad because of how long we had dicked around with experiments as d-coordinators all these years.

JB, who doesn't have the ability to create humor on his own, and therefore is unable to appreciate its finer nuances, decided to take one snippet out of that train of thought I had...and isolate it to make it appear that I would be mad if we made it deep into the playoffs. Simple twisting and manipulation of words, for the self-gratification of trying to paint me as something I am not, and he's patting himself on the back for it. Real classy.

Hell, if anything, that particular post was somewhat forgiving of Kubiak.

I guess it's taboo to mess with Gary Kubiak. All I have seen is a small sector of people get on here and beg people to leave him alone, like the "Leave Brittany Alone!" video.

Well, some people got their wish. Let's see how Festus and Cleetus do in 2011.

Deep breath big guy :) It's just a farken game, we can't control it, and nothing we type here will change it right? I think our differences are getting in the way of our interactions with one another here. Can't let that affect long term friendships here on the MB... let it go :)

Really? Let me do that to you some day and see how well you take it.

Shoe on the other foot, and all that.

Hey, he's only taking himself down another peg for having done it. The blatant, intentional misrepresentation of a person's words--for self gain and enjoyment--is about as low as a person can go. And yet, the funny thing is that people on here will see it for what it's worth.

I just needed to report it to the mods, because I feel that was an over-the-top act he just did, send a shot across the bow of his libel ship, put him on ignore list (since that's a real way that I can control that horsecrap) and let the people of this board sort it out.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I don't want you to think I don't value what you're telling me. But it's a pretty sorry person to do what he did.

Period.

Sorry man, I don't take what anyone says on a MB seriously. It's anonymous entertainment at its finest imo. Just something to occupy my idle time, and it allows me to unwind after a long day. I understand your frustration, you know from my positive rep of your posts I value your opinion as well :)

Yeah, but what's really got me tore up, FTF, is that you're now JB's #1 fan.

Cuts me to the bone, chief. To the BONE.
