Don Shula Urges Wade to Just Be Himself

We interviewed both Hall of Fame coach Don Shula and former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann tonight on Tylock Lasik SportsTalk (6:30 PM, M-F, KFWD, Channel 52). I asked Shula if he believed Wade Phillips could indeed make the transition from softie to meanie next season.

Shula said he thought Wade should just be himself and continue to exhibit the traits that brought him this far in his career. That would seem to indicate Shula didn't believe Wade could make the rapid transition to being the disciplinarian out of the blue. Shula also told me he believes Tony Romo and the Cowboys have the talent to win next season.

As for Theismann, he has always been a vocal critic of the Cowboys under Jerry Jones. However, he was quite complimentary tonight, especially towards Romo. He said he believed Tony needs to adapt to being the "ringleader of a circus" and was quick to point out that he was in the same role in Washington.
