What do you want to hear from Wade Phillips?

At 11:30 a.m., Wade Phillips will hold his press conference today. Players are off although most of them will come in fork workouts anyway, but they are not available to the media today.
That leaves Phillips to talk about what's gone wrong.
What do you want to hear? And, "I resign," is not one of the answers, so let's get that out of the way. Isn't it time to get mad? Isn't it time to flip over a table, so to speak? Even if it's for show, do something dramatic. Jimmy Johnson went bold and guaranteed a playoff win against San Francisco, telling everybody to put it in three-inch headlines. And the players delivered.
Why do I doubt something like this will happen? It's not Phillips' character. I get it.
Just a hunch, but we will hear something like this: "We still control our own destiny. We can accomplish all of the goals we set out at the beginning of the season. Certainly did a lot of good things against San Diego. We just didn't do enough of them. But the next game is the most important one."

What I would love to hear Phillips (or anyone on the staff for that matter) admit:
"I am doing the absolute best that I can. My role yesterday wasn't executed to perfection, by any means. But the environment set up by the owner/GM has stripped me of enough power over the entire entity that no matter what I, or any future head coach, attempt to do, the players know that the buck stops about a quarter mile down the road past me."
Basically, do a Parcells as he was leaving the Jets. Put Jerry on the spot

What i would like to know is when is someone going to say that this whole thing is broke. When is Jerry gonna admit that Defensive coordinators are way ahead of garett and good offensive corrdinators are ahead of Wade. When a fat guy like me sitting on his couch can read what they are gonna do next for example romo undercenter its a run, romo in the shotgun its a pass, what the hell do you think the other teams defensive coordinators are thinking. While I was sitting there calling out run or pass, with 98% efficiancy by the way, it was unbelievable to see the defense adjust presnap. its like we wernt trying to fool or keep the defense off balance at all. Meanwhile San Diego fooled us on there playaction and missdirection at an alrming rate. Our coaches are way to overconfident in what they think they are doing. All the yards in the world wont help if we are kicking field goals err missing field goals
