I think Parcells was a good coach and he deserves respect, however:
1) He was hired to coach a team, e.g. be a supervisor. He got 90% of the players he wanted. It turned into in a Bill Parcells high School reunion team. If he had a problem coaching TO, he should have retired from coaching a long time ago.
2. He should have gone with Romo on day one. See #1
3. He got too conservative, and predictable, in the game in Seattle.
4. Why didn't Sean Payton's offense work in New Orleans, not Dallas? See #1 and #3?
The rumor mill says Gruden...
Perdogg, you NAIL it in post 43. Parcell lives off 1980s reputation, real Dallas fans who have watched the games know he hurt this team more than he helped it. Payton tried hard to take Romo with him to New Orleans, when he couldn't, he got Brees. Sure says to me Romo was ready to start the season, particularly given his great preseason. He came out the gate great too, that is until Parcells crapped on him and got in his head to be a Bledsoe-type pocket passer. Payton utterly destroyed Parcells in that fateful December game, exposing the complete lack of creativity and adjustments BP has saddled his Dallas teams with. Good riddance to a disloyal selfish overblown coach. Here's hoping we find a better replacement!
