Let me start my first post with this statement: Wade Phillips and Brad Childress had to be fired. However, as I believe Chris Carter (may have been Keyshawn) pointed out on ESPN today, what does it say about a team when the players come out with a new energy after a midseason coaching change? As Dallas has done, and Minnesota seems poised to do. Imagine getting a new boss at work. You walk up and tell him, "Sir, our last boss, he really sucked, I mean, he had no clue what he was doing, He was so bad that I only gave about 85 % of my effort to my work. But you I respect, for you I will go the extra mile, you get my best."
Well for any office building in the county, that would be simply unacceptable. And since the NFL is a Billion Dollar business, it should be unacceptable there also. Professionals have to be able to work their hardest, no matter how they feel about their colleagues. So much emphasis was placed on how Jason Garrett runs things different in Dallas, how the new sheriff in town would get things in order.
Well the new sheriff happens to be the old play caller, yet the offense is suddenly explosive with him as head coach. The media uses the term "new energy" to explain the improving play, but the only phrase I would call it is "bad character players decide to be a professional." Obviously not everyone in Minny or Dallas has bad character, but regardless of what the players are saying, many lacked character by giving less than 100% in their similar beat downs to Green Bay.
Childress and Wade were not very good head coaches, they had to go. But if you are a Viking or Cowboys fan on a witch hunt, look first to your extremely talented player's effort. When times got tough they.... quit.
