Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll believe Jones will let Parcells do the coaching when I SEE it ! If he keeps his nose OUT of that job, it'll be a GOOD thing. We'll see!!Obsession with victory didn't keep big personalities Jones and Jimmy Johnson together. So when Johnson heard that Parcells might go to Dallas, he called to ask, "Are you thinking about doing this?"
"Yes, I am," Parcells answered.
Johnson paused. "Well, I think it will be good. Right now, I think Jerry's ready for somebody like you."
Jones, who will pay Parcells about $17 million over four years, says as much: "I regretted that people felt that our coach was a puppet. ... The one thing I could do to stop some of that criticism was to get a respected and strong coach like Bill Parcells. ... You won't have the same criticisms with him here. Now I can do things that will, perception-wise, be more palatable to the public."
