Did Wade Philips put his name and Tom Landry in the same sentence?

Appearing on The Bruce Smith Show, Phillips explained that getting fired from a head-coaching job makes it harder to get another head-coaching job, regardless of any success the coach has had as a head coach.

“The perception is once you’re fired that you’re not a very good head coach,” Phillips said. “It happened to me in Buffalo. We were 29-19 in Buffalo. Once I was fired there I couldn’t get a head-coaching job because they thought, you know, I wasn’t a good enough coach. They didn’t look at my record, they just said, ‘Oh, gosh, he’s fired, so we gotta get somebody else.’ It took me a long time to get another head-coaching job. You know, we went 34-22, which is pretty good. I went out as the same winning percentage of Tom Landry, so I don’t feel bad about my head-coaching career. I think they’re gonna look at me more as a coordinator, and that’s fine with me. I just wanna coach.”
