Or maybe the real reason Wade is staying is that the Texans gave him a raise. Smart move if they did.

Not sure why the Texans wouldn’t pay him a small fortune to stay in Houston based on the turn-around of this year. Just keeping the team focused with all of the injuries has been remarkable (credit being given to the entire coaching staff). Wade Phillips can be regarded as one of the greatest defensive minds in the game instead of going to a chronically underachieving team. Seems like a win-win. I understand the desire to be at the “pinnacle” of your profession, but TB is not that place (currently).

Yeah, great news for the Texan fans…he’ll jump ship as soon as he thinks he finds something better. Not seeing a whole lot of loyalty out of Phillips. I’d be pissed if I was a Texan fan.

Marty went to the playoffs with Steve DeBerg, Dave Krieg, Steve Bono, and a hybrid of Elvis Grbac and Rich Gannon playing QB.

Pretty sure Josh Freeman has shown that he can be better than those guys.

Did he also go Wee-Wee-Wee all the way home?

…Guy is an oinker, glad Jerry had presence of mind to drop him like a bad habit.

Good for Wade. Good for Texans. It was the Texans biggest worry going forward to next year. Thanks for firing him Jerrah.

@borisbulldog

At least Schottenhemier gets his teams to the playoffs, which is the most Tampa can hope for at this point. 18 career playoff games is impressive regardless of what the results were.

How many times did Raheem Morris get Tampa to the playoffs? Oh okay.

Watch them hire Mike Sherman. As a student at Texas A&M, thank god he’s gone!

Dallasholeinroofcowboys, youre absolutely right, now that wade is gone you guys can really have a shot at winning in the playoffs! And man that d is a hell of a lot better now that wade is gone! You sir are a prime example of a cowboy fan.

Shoddy Martinheimer = 5-13 in the play-offs!

Carefull what you wish for TB!

Thanks you Wade. We need to keep our focus on taking down the Ravens on Sunday. You the man…

GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s not a good fit. Going from the Tampa 2 to a 3-4 would take a few years and coaches only get a few years to prove their worth. Smart move Wade.

By: buccaboo

buccaboo — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:28:12 +0000

Just appoint Shottenheimer already. That is if he would take it. An article in the Tampa Times today sounded a little luke warm. We’ll see

Everybody who says that Wade is a bad coach is probably just repating what mindless Cowboy fans say. Wade was a good head coach. Not great, just good. He’s 23 games above .500, which is better than 90% of the coaches in the NFL. He couldn’t handle the circus that is the Dallas Cowboys, but what coach after Jimmy Johnson has? Even Parcells couldn’t win a playoff game there. Wade is an elite Coordinator, and was a good head coach. To say he was “bad” is to hugely overstating and oversimplifying his headcoaching jobs. Guys like Rich Kotite, Steve Spurrior, and Josh McDaniels were bad NFL head coaches. Wade Phillips is one of only a handful of coaches to take 3 different organizations to the playoffs. He may not have that “it” that some coaches have, but he is good enough for a team to consider as a candidate for a head coaching vacancy.

Hopefully this means that Marty has been hired and they don’t want to announce it till next week.

regardless of his reasoning he is a class act.

dall ashole inroofcowboys you are a different kind of act, similar to an a**clown! how are the playoffs going in jerry’s world this season?

He really is an amazing defensive coordinator, but he just isn’t cut out to be a head coach. I think he should just stick to being a top 3 D coordinator.

Bring in Marty Schottenheimer!
“There’s a gleam, men! There’s a gleam!”
“If this doesn’t light your fire the pilot light is out!”
The Bucs will return to winning and integrity under Marty!!!
Marty, this is where your Super Bowl is going to come! Your ship comes in right here in Tampa!
The Glazers need to call you asap!!!

So you you liking the Cow they Call Rob Ryan, I guarantee he will be fired after this coming season. Jerrah is a total douche nozzle, looks like him and Mark are trying both to step into Al Davis’s role as the biggest nut job and football.

Your comment about Wade is hilarious! While I’m thinking about it…..who do the Cowboys play this weekend???? Oh, that’s right.

The Bucs should hire Marty. He can make a bad team good — even very good. Not sure he can deliver a SB, but that shouldn’t be the priority of the Bucs right now. Just try and be a good team.

If Marty gets hired, though, I hope he doesn’t bring his boy along with him.

There are a lot of reasons Phillips may have withdrawn his name to remain the defensive coordinator in Houston. SI’s Peter King points out the most likely reason: It's Tampa. There, fixed.
