"Everything rises studies pavement construction and falls paving recounts on leadership."I do not know who first said that. I first heard it from a preacher named Lee Roberson, back in the '70s Then, John Maxwell popularized it in more recent memory. Whoever said it, said it right.All you can really add to it is, "Amen."The Dallas Cowboys are a team in desperate need of a leader. Plenty of players have emerged as positive locker room and field leaders, not the least of which is Keith Brooking.

But the dearth of leadership on the sideline is ominous and distressing to the Cowboys faithful.Last weekend, before the Green Bay game, my wife and I went to dinner with her parents pavement maintenance . For my father-in-law and me, the subject turned, as it often does, to the Dallas Cowboys asphalt paving specifications . We were talking about this very subject: the dreadful state of the head coaching position.Coming off that huge win in Philly, my father-in-law was optimistic and hopeful."You know, Gene," he said, "They don't really have a head coach asphalt paving prices . They have an offensive and a defensive coordinator."I said that they do have a head coach asphalt paving company . His name is Jerry.He agreed.He said he thought the team was mature enough and had enough team leaders to compensate for Wade Phillips' lack of leadership.

I said I hoped he was right, but I rather doubted it.After Sunday's debacle, he called and said, "I was wrong."Now, I do think he is right about being wrong But I wish he wasn't.All of this got me thinking pavement design . I wondered who were the worst coaches ever to win a Super Bowl? I thought I would list the five worst Super Bowl winning coaches of all time.That is a tough assignment asphalt paving . I only came up with two candidates I felt worthy to fill the five slots asphalt . But I will fill them anyway.Don McCafferty won Super Bowl V with the Baltimore Colts pavement "gold soundz . He only served as a head coach in the league for four years, posting a 28-17-2 record (a .600 winning percentage). Baltimore fired him five games into the 1972 season, just two years after he won his ring His team was 1-4 at the time of his firing.

Barry Switzer is number two on my list, but could get serious consideration for number one . The legendary coach of the Oklahoma Sooners may have proved Jerry Jones right when Jones said, "Any of 500 coaches could have won a Super Bowl with this team." Jones said that as he was firing Jimmy Johnson Barry won Super Bowl XXX with the Cowboys road construction . He was fired by Jones two years later, after his team went 6-10 concrete paving . Switzer's record as a head coach: 40-24 (a .630 winning percentage) . Brian Billick coached the Baltimore Ravens from 1999 - 2007 He posted four winning seasons and won Super Bowl XXXV.
