Naturally, Phillips isn't a big advocate of switching coaches during the season and he wishes NFL owners weren't as impatient as fantasy football owners dumping early-season underperformers.
Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips knows what Miami's Dan Campbell is going through,Cheap Jerseys. He's been an interim head coach three times in his career.
"If they think that you might be there (next season),Wholesale NBA Jerseys China, then they're going to play harder,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys," Phillips said. "If they think that you're not going to be there, it's a lot tougher."
"I hold the record in that, I think," Phillips cracked. "If it's early, like this, I think you can do a lot of things. If it's the last three games of the season, that's a lot tougher. If you have a bye week like this,NFL Jerseys China, it can help some,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, but it's basically still not your team. You didn't go through training camp and implement things."
Phillips said job No. 1 as an interim head coach is getting the team to stay focused on trying to win and not coasting.
Phillips was interim head coach in New Orleans in 1985, Atlanta in 2003, and Houston in 2013, always at season's end, and he never got retained for the following season.
"It's not baseball. There aren't 162 games. Let a guy coach through the season and if you don't like it,NFL Jerseys China, get rid of him," Phillips said. "We started 0-3 one year in Buffalo and if they would have fired me then — we went to the playoffs. I think they pull the trigger too early sometimes. You never know if they're going to win the rest of them." |
