Nope....Wade Wilson...but now, the buzz is Les Miles. LOL
Just pick a name. Any name. It will, no doubt, be on the "list".

LOL! If his after-game pressers are any indication, he wouldn't be too popular with his fellow commen-tators. He wouldn't tolerate the BS!

Chris Peterson?? Oh my! ROFL (Boise St.) What's wrong with that? He coached Boise St. to an unbeaten season. The ONLY unbeaten team in the nation.

I adore Chris Peterson. And I can't imagine he would even consider coming into this can of worms called the Dallas Cowboys. But, I can't imagine ANY coach agreeing to work for JJ and T.O.

But, I can't imagine ANY coach agreeing to work for JJ and T.O.I can't think of a coach that would want to work with either of them. They're both attention seekers.

The Giants just hired the Eagles LB coach as defensive coordinator...

Yeah, now we can look forward to another round of Switzers, Gaileys and Campos.
Dallas probably did need a different coach but I don't trust Jerry to find one. Because of Parcells record and the fact he was available, even Jerry wasn't able to screw that up.
They also need someone in there who is really good with young QBs or even that will go down the drain.

This Cow fan can't stand TO - not just his arrogance, but lack of productivity. I've seen numbers showing that the only game he made a difference in was with Atlanta.
Actually with all those drops he made a difference in many games - the ones we lost.

2006 numbers are pretty good.
REC 85 | YDS 1,180 | TD 13
His average is down a little from previous years, but he's not the only go-to guy on the Dallas offense. He adds alot of drama on the sidelines, but he's a productive player on the field.
To: Rummyfan
Belichick, since Bill P has never been back to the Big Game without Bill B. Bellichick has not been back since Romeo and Charlie Weiss left. What is your point?
Plus Bellichick is an ass.

Sorry about the 'insane' comment.
That was wrong.
Fans get carried away. He suffered more than anyone, except maybe my son. Hope Carrie can take his mind off of it.

Bill would be hilarious on those shows, but it wouldn't work.
He's a slow talker with long pauses between words. When he did his pressers, everyone would go and hit their radio, thinking it had gone off before he finally spoke.
But I loved it.

Here's a crazy theory. The Cowboys released a statement that Parcells will stick around Valley Ranch for another 10 days and help out with the search process. Dallas might be wise to do some interviews, but wait until after the Super Bowl to decide, so that they can interview Bears coaches. one of the trendy names thrown out is Bears' D-Coordinator Ron Rivera, with a rumor of several teams interested in him. But if I were Dallas I'd ask to interview him AND Lovey Smith. Smith is from near Dallas, only has 1 year left on his contract, and has said before something to the effect of the Cowboys being a dream job (he grew up a Dallas fan.) Chicago would certainly want compensation, but they also run the risk of Smith refusing any extension offers and walking in a year if he does want to interview with Dallas and they deny him. Depends on how much the Bears value Rivera and if they consider him a high-quality head coaching prospect, but if they do they could let Lovey go, get compensation, and keep Rivera in house with a promotion to HC.

No one who leads the NFL in drops should be considered a "go-to guy".
I've seen those stats you posted, but unfortunately we have to rely on game commentators and columnists to learn about his drops statistics - they aren't included in the receivers' numbers but they are included in the QBs' completion percentage.

Jerry Jones wants Wade Phillips to be the Coach/Def Coordinator and have Jason Garret to be the QB coach and eventually the coach.
I would put even money on Jimmy Johnson coming back.

As a big Dallas fan, let me clear up a few crazy assertions on this thread. Romo is the QB of the future, get used to it. Dallas would have not even made the playoffs without him. He dropped a slick ball as a HOLDER, something he won't be doing anymore. Romo did not "ruin" Parcells, BP had this attitude of not wanting this for 2 years now. I for one am glad he is retiring, as his coach not to lose mentality has put shackles on this talented team and he was on his way to killing Romo's growth. We don't need 40 year old, has been, washed up QBs that make rookie mistakes. At least w/Romo the mistakes have a good chance of slowing down and his upside is huge. He will be a big success for Dallas for years barring injury, wait and see.
Also, TO was NOT the reason BP is hanging it up. Period.
Parcells underachieved with this team the last three seasons. His Dallas teams fell apart every season he was here in December. His one good legacy is he leaves the team more talented than when he came, but he was never going to take them to the next level. This isn't 1983 and there is no Scott Norwood to hand him another ring.
To: Diddle E. Squat; All
I can see that happening but from what I'm hearing is that some kind of announcement Wed regarding Lovie Smith future with the Bears.. I think that Ron Rivera may be headed to Dallas.. If he wants to commit suicide that is..
