DMN Blog: Wade speaks... on the 3-4
Wade Speaks
We just talked to Wade Phillips after his interview with Jerry and Stephen Jones today. Here's some stuff:
"We had a good meeting and I enjoyed being here. Very encompassing talk and he knows what I’m about as far as trying to get over the things that I can do."
Phillips was asked when the Cowboys will hire a coach.
"I don't think it will take a long time. [Jerry] has other people to talk to and I know that. I don't think it will be a long, drawn-out process."
Wade's thoughts on the team: "Bill Parcells put together a solid team, that's pretty important already and they were in the playoffs last year, so that's a good start for any new coach coming in."
Phillips also talked to Jason Garrett and Parcells.
I'll have more on Wade and his thoughts on the 3-4 defense.

More Wade Phillips stuff
On the 3-4; “Obviously I like the 3-4, I’ve been coaching it a long time. It gives you a lot of things especially a pass rush and you can matchup a lot pass rush wise. You can also beat big offensive blocking schemes so in my background obvious is defense and the 3-4 I like both of those things.”
Did you think you would get another chance: “I didn’t know. I’m going on my record. There aren’t many winning, successful coaches that come out of there usually when your not a head coach its because you haven’t won enough games. I won as a head coach. I’ve been to the playoffs three out of the five years I’ve been a head coach.”
On inheriting coaches; “In this day and time in this situation, to get good coaches sometimes you have to put the cart before the horse. In this situation if u have good coaches a lot of times you want to keep them and they’re gonna be gone if you don’t latch on to them I can see why they would go in that direction.”
On Jason Garrett; “I know Jason. I haven’t worked with him yet, but I know him pretty well I think he’s a bright young mind that’s going to do well in this league. He’s one of those rising stars.”
On whether Jason Garrett is being groomed as the next coach: “If he hires me, I wouldn’t worry about it. If he hires him that might have been the case. I don’t worry about that.”
