I respect Parcells as much as any NFL coach, ever. I will miss him.

Drew Bledsoe was here and healthy...if Parcells felt that Romo wasn't concentrating on his job...he should have put Bledsoe back in the line-up.
It's gonna be a LONG two weeks then, because we are going to hear that ad nauseum throughout the build-up to the game and for another week after.
LOL....I've been listening! Oh my....Cow fans and Cow media are totally losing it! Greg Ellis on ESPN claims Big Bill quit because he could no longer stand working for Jerry.
Waiting for my youngest to get out of class. Need his opinion. He's my expert on the Cowboys...
Is Rich Kotite available?
LOL! I think he's in the Witness Protection Program after single-handedly destroying two franchises.
That would be an intriguing pick, but how do you go from being a quarterbacks coach to a head coach?
He went to three Super Bowls with two different teams. I think the question mark on Parcells now is how much of that was himself and how much was Belichick, since Bill P has never been back to the Big Game without Bill B.
Greg Ellis said THAT?? Whoa...
I am listening to the TICKET...for one thing, where I live, I can't get ESPN radio....but these guys are NOT happy with Bill...I don't hear any of them down on Jerry yet.
They are speculating who Jerry will get...and Mickey Spagnola said he thinks Jerry has seen the writing on the wall..and may already have a coach in mind..
Please let me know what your son says...because I have to admit that since Johnson left..and Aikman.. I haven't been as HUGH of a Cowboy fan...but I am still very interested.
This was Romo's 4th year, not exactly 'young' by today's NFL standards with QB's.
As to the coach helping him: I think old school coaches like Parcells, Gibbs and 'Da Coach' Mike Ditka can't relate to today's breed of player, or more accurately player to coach. Fine them for goofing off, so what, they're gazillionaires. Fine them for missing curfew .. oops, 'what's a curfew'. Discipline them in any way and they're on the phone to their agent bitching to the GM or owner (hi T.O.). And instead of studying the play-book, they're reading their stock portfolio or hanging with their posse. It's truly like Jim Mora (the Dad) said of Michael Vick, "he's a Coach Killer" - well sure 'nuff, the coach is gone and Vick's jetting around with his stash of pot.
Parcell's could have roomed 24/7 with Romo and it wouldn't have helped. Tony would have found some way to get with his 'new babe' Kelly Clarkson (Which I understand he snuck into the player's area (locker room?) on that game day). So that's where his head was when he fumbled that perfect snap.
[The Bears had this jackass 1st round pick WR, David Terrell. His mouth cost more yards than his catches and 'we' couldn't get rid of the mope during his contract period.]
It's never boring at The Ranch, that's for sure.
Good luck on all that!
Nobody is a fan of T.O.
I understand that even his mother does not like him.
Dallas Cowboy fans do not like T.O.
He certainly didn't live up to his reputation and he caught some balls, but dropped too many.
He's a toxic person and I hope he doesn't come back.
Are you insane? We still love Romo. All the letters to the Dallas papers defended him vehemently.
He's very cute. Love the dimples!
You said it....not me! :)
Hey, look at the up side of this. Now that there are two AA coaches in the Super Bowl, the next time it happens won't get any notice. A case of been there, done that. But it is going to be a long two weeks this year.
NOPE...it sure isn't...I think I LIKE that part about the Cowboys..they are never boring...except when Chan Gailey and Dave Campos where Coach...LOL
Don't you mean Wade Phillips?
I respect Parcells as much as any NFL coach, ever. I will miss him.
****Are you insane? We still love Romo. All the letters to the Dallas papers defended him vehemently.He's very cute. Love the dimples!****
Boy oh boy, there's losses and then there's losses. What Romo did was inexcusable. Ya see the difference is, that even after yesterday's Bear win, we're still contemplating whether or not to rescind the 'contract' out on Grossman. We take football 'series' here in Bear Land.
[just KIDDING KIDDING and KIDDING about the 'contract']
Have to clarify I'm being 'humorous' before the FBI comes a knockin'
Oh sheesh, my bad.
[That's what I get for not watching American Idol.]
