I don't think he has anything left. It was obvious if you watched him closely this year.

Too bad Jerry Jones couldn't be tossed out instead.

Haven't found a link yet, but ESPN Radio 103.3 FM in Dallas is reporting the same thing right now.

Bingo. I wasn't a fan of Parcells before he came to Dallas, but he grew on me (and I am NOT a Cowboys fan.) Dallas fans who think he didn't greatly improve this team are clueless, there may have been no Tony Romo coming to the rescue without Parcells as coach. Not so successful at building through the draft, but he got a lot more out of those players than most would have.

Just this morning they had said Parcells had booked a room in Mobile for the Senior Bowl, indicating that he did plan on returning. Guess not.

Thanks and from you link, his brief statement:
"I am in good health and feel lucky to have been able to coach in the NFL for an extended period of time," he said in a statement. "I leave the game and the NFL with nothing but good feelings and gratitude to all the players, coaches and other people that have assisted me in that regard."

Ugh, ESPN has that lying scumbag Skip Bayless providing running commentary. Skip used to make up quotes and slander (bogus racism charges and the like) when a columnist in Dallas years ago just to stir up interest. What a POS.

I don't know....that quote sounds more like a firing than a retirement or resignation.
