reshard is the PERFECT example of the kind of player that sparano would have burried or cut just to watch him go to a division rival and flourish.
this "makes me miss sparano" is one of the most bizzare statements i have seen yet. philbin is just the opposite of sparano, i think he knows exactly what he is doing. he knows the players he needs to build a championship locker room and just as important, he knows the players you dont want in a locker room.
i bet your a younger guy and didnt watch the cowboys when tom landry was coach, but philbin reminds me of him a whole lot. easy going demeanor. rarely blows up on the sideline. but he knew how to teach the game, and he knew how to get his point across. he also didnt stand for players who didnt belong in a championship locker room.
everyone thought jimmy johnson was a baffoon that was in over his head to. how did that turn out? his first two seasons were AWFUL and he kept getting rid of players and collecting the ones he needed, all while the fans and media and even his coaching peers derided him endlessly and cursed his very existance.
people have been mistaken that this yearly turning over the bottom of the roster and bargain bin fre agents as some sort of rebuilding. philbin is in the midst of a TRUE rebuild. getting rid of the so called star players who are not living up to there reputation and salary. the lazy, the malcontents who are like the proverbial bad apple. and its refreshing! its over due. and its the RIGHT THING to building a winner!!
turn that frown upside down and get on the philbin bus man!! :)
man. how quickly people forget how bad sparano REALLY was.
