Last season was hugely disappointing with all of the high expectations. The team played with little heart and Phillips isn't the task-master type of coach to keep them focused.
"It takes about four years to get a championship-type team put together," Phillips said. "We were expected, because of Dallas, to do it in one, maybe two years, and we haven't done that. I'm disappointed we haven't, but I think we will."Phillips, who is also the Cowboys defensive coordinator, is suited to be the Cowboys coach from Jerry Jones' perspective. Jones wants a "yes-man" who's not going to rock the boat and who will stroke Jones' ego.
For the Cowboys to be successful (or, as successful as they can be), Jones needs to give up the GM job, find a strong head coach (there are plenty out there - Bill Cowher, Mike Shanahan, etc.) and keep Phillips as defensive coordinator.
But I think all of that is just wishful thinking.
