Over the years, I have watched both NFL and NBA coaches continually fail at their jobs. These coaches have done absolutely nothing for their organizations besides flat out suck. A couple of these coaches include Kevin McHale, Rick Adelman, Norv Turner, and of course Wade Phillips. Being a huge fan of sports in general it deeply pains me to see these lousy bums continually get hired over uprising assistants and young college coaches. Organizations talk about how these coaches are experienced veterans who have proven to be able to deal with the egos of athletes and will bring strong discipline to the table. However, none of these coaches have done anything good for their leagues. They all get paid huge salaries to hurt their organizations. For example, look at the work done by both Norv Turner and Wade Phillips. After a 14-2 season for the San Diego Chargers, Norv Turner replaced Marty Schottenheimer as head coach. The following year was supposed to be a super bowl season, but instead they barely reached the playoffs with an 11-5 record. On the other side of the coin we have Wade Phillips. Phillips was hired because he was laid back and could deal with Jerry Jones's controlling personality, as well as bringing "experience and leadership". The Dallas Cowboys are a first class organization. They have won 5 championships and are always expected to make long playoff runs. Thankfully, the cowboys have made a change and fired Phillips after a four year tenure. Now the ex-coach can be seen dancing in Hawaii with the fiddler crabs. SOOOO MAD.
