Wha'd he say???
What He Said
“The more input you can get on a regular basis, I think the better you’ll be prepared. But they don’t see them like the scouts see them. I put more weight on the scouts. But Wade Phillips is one of the best talent evaluators I’ve been around.”
What He Meant
“I still think, after all these years, that great coaches are a dime a dozen. Remember me telling Jimmy Johnson any of 500 coaches could have won with that team he coached? Scouts, now…a good scout is hard to find, but you need them. Not like coaches, which you don’t need.”
“Now, Wade, as a head coach, makes a great scout. He can really evaluate talent, even if he does figure out ways to forever underachieve with the talent he has around him.”
What We Think About What He Said
I bet you say that about all the coaches you are trying desperately to defend and wish to keep around to stroke your ego and fetch you drinks at social gatherings.
What We Think About What He Meant
If Wade is the best talent evaluator you know, then why didn’t you have him evaluate Roy Williams before you mortgaged the farm to get him and then broke the bank to pay him?
