If you will permit me a tangent.....
Wade Phillips is, to me, a classic case of what I call "The Charlie Weis syndrome." There is very little more horrifying to me than Charlie Weis nearly dying on an operating table getting bariatric surgery because everyone was telling him that he was too fat to get an NFL head coaching job. But it's true, there is a certain "look" to NFL coaches that has to be met. They can't be too fat, they have to look intense and they have to look like they don't give a shit what you think about them. Wade Phillips is borderline too fat and he doesn't have a look of intensity, he has a thoughtful look on his face, which is perceived as weak.
His dad put on a great show on the sidelines, but Wade just doesn't. He is the classic case of a guy who gets hosed for all the wrong reasons. If I owned the Eagles I would immediately install him as my DC, pay him $25MM a year, give him his own personal hooker(or cadre thereof) and tell whatever head coach I had not to worry about the defense, just focus all your attention on the offense. In related news, I would be an awesome owner of the Eagles. Kind of a hybrid of DBK and Jerry Jones.
