Bill Parcells to Retire

NFL ^

[edpc]

Maybe, but he and Parcells obviously clashed. I do not recall hearing Owens referred to by name in any conference Parcells held. I got the distinct feeling one would have to go to keep the other around.

Dam... he was what i thought.. the best coach since Johnson.

Are you sure? With an 0-2 playoff record in 4 years? Even Barry Switzer managed to get the Cowboys a ring.

I don't understand all the giddy crap comming from CNN about the color of the two coaches in the Superbowl.

I thought we were living in a country that its press MSM is supposed to be color blind.

Personally who ever they hire if he is a good coach will flip my switch.

Jerry evidently made his choice.....good luck to the next coach who has to put up with Jones and his pet, T.O.

[edpc]

Rush's comments concerning McNabb are further vindicated by the media reaction you mentioned. I am waiting for the outrage over the lack of white halfbacks.

Just because he was 0-2 w/ Dallas doesn't mean he was a bad coach. He changed the game with the role of the outside Linebacker. Parcell's coaching tree is better than Walsh & Lombardi's.

I completely agree..if I hear one more time about "the first african-american coaches in the super bowl", I'm gonna SCREAM..I must heard it 50 times yesterday alone..

personally, I could care less what color the coach is, I just want wins (falcon fan here)..and you're right, we're supposed to be colorblind, but the media WON'T LET US BE..

I don't particularly like the 'Tuna' since his Giants days (Go Bears), but I think he got screwed in Dallas.

He was shackled with that psycho T.O. and 'super star' Tony Romo finished Parcells due to his over 'MSM inflated ego' and had his head in dating hot chicks instead of football.

(if I was Romo I'd be hiding in a Guatemalan jungle about now)

[Pharmboy]

I imagine he has a verbal agreement to be GM somewhere...the Giants allegedly turned him down for that job.

Sorry, but I don't buy into Parcells being a "great coach", although he was a very good coach. To me, so much of his hype was based on media myth. His Super Bowl wins were 16 and 20 years ago against Denver and Buffalo. Two teams that accounted for 7 of the 8 Super Bowl losses between 1987-1994. He had his time and took advantage of it, but those days are over.

Enjoy your retirement, Bill!

Parcells did the best he could with what he had. I wouldn't want to work for the Jones boys, they make it hard to be a Cowboys fan.

[Mr. Jeeves]

...Tony Romo finished Parcells due to his over 'MSM inflated ego'...

True, but how does any young quarterback go into a crazy hero-worshipping situation like being the Dallas Cowboys quarterback and maintain any sense of balance? That's right - the coach has to help him.

Otherwise, they should have just brought back an old, experienced hand...like Vinny Testaverde. ;)

[Rummyfan]

Is this The Tuna's FINAL retirement? He was a heckuva coach.

[Rummyfan]

You know, if Jones hired an African-American head coach, he could leech a little media attention away from the Super Bowl.

Denny Green! Of course he'll be busy next week in Miami with the Chicago Bears, crownin' their asses!

[Txsleuth]

I heard the news on the way to kaybugs' school...the local sports talk station is abuzz....with some of the hosts calling Parcells names..the I can't post on FR....LOL

[04-Bravo]

That was my first thought: Jerry Jones must have told Parcells that T.O. would still be with the Cowboys next season.
