Well, guys, it's been nice knowing ya !

[CougarGA7]

The question now is: How many draft picks will Tampa Bay get if Parcells is hired?

[lavrenti]

Yeah, they'll hire Parcells and draft the beloved Boy Simms in the second round (considering they'll lose a first round to the Tampa Bay Thugs).

Dennis Green is also available, another piece of work that'll guarantee Bengal-like numbers for the Jerry Jones circus.

[Corporate Law]

There are reports as many as six head coaches will be fired today. Parcells has the catbird's seat in all this, essentially being able to write his ticket wherever he wants, though I doubt he will go to Dallas and work under Jones.

[MeekOneGOP]

For Campo, one of the few bright spots from the 2002 season came in October when Smith broke Walter Payton's NFL record for career rushing yards against Seattle at Texas Stadium.

Yep, that's about it. I'd say that it's Jerry Jones that's doing the lousy job. Why did he fire Jimmy Johnson in the first place? It's been one mistake after the next. Sell, Jerry, and to a Texan !

It's always about ME !!

"Tuna watch?"

[discostu]

So long Dave, I'm sure you'll find a job as defensive co-odinator in short order, and for a better owner too. I'm really hoping Jerry picks up Tuna, I hate them both and having them in the same town would make my life easier. The best part will be 3 years later when Tuna blows town and convinces half the staff to quit too leaving Dallas in worse shape than when he got there. Hopefully 3 crapy years in Dallas will end his bid for the Hall. He's not a Hall of Fame coach, he's not innovative, he's not that good, and his attitude is bad for football. but Jerry deserves him.

Is Emmett holding his nose?

"Dang coach, you're stinking up the joint."

[CougarGA7]

Dick LeBeau (Bengals) and Tom Coughlin (Jaguars) have already been fired today.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks for the comments folks. See #5....

[bigfootbob]

It's hard for me to believe Parcell's would coach for the megalomaniac Jerry Jones. That must be one hell of a contract. It won't last, what staff does Parcell's have left? They're all head coaches now.

Is Emmett holding his nose?

"Dang coach, you're stinking up the joint."

ROFL ! I saw that too...

[discostu]

Anybody got a rumor mill list? We know Coughlin is gone from Jax, that was announced last night. Here's my suspect list but these are just my opinion: The Lions need a house cleaning (they should fire EVERYBODY, even the people running consessions, Mr. Randy-ratio shouldn't be long for this world (lets force 40% of our offense to a guy that admitted he doesn't work every down, brilliant plan!), the Bengals need to fire the owners, Martz may be toast in St. Louis (from Superbowl to toilet with almost no personal changes means the coach ran out of tricks). Guess that's 6 with Campo.

[KC_Conspirator]

Jerry Jones is the problem in Dallas. He's turned that team into crap, startign wityh his foolish personnel decisions. First and foremost is how he forced Campo to play Quincy Carter, who was an absolutely terrible QB. Then he did everything to force Emmitt, who is still the best player on that lousy team, to give up time to a below average RB.

[MeekOneGOP]

[CougarGA7]

Martz wont be gone from St.Louis. He lost two key offensive linemen to free agency during the offseason and got the wild idea that he could fill from within. Hopefully, he has learned a valuable lesson from that. With out the O-line being as strong, the quarterback didn't have as much time to throw, and Marshall didn't have the holes to run through that he usually had.

[Tall_Texan]

Since Jerry Jones: Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, Chan Gailey, Dave Campo, next head coach (14 years).

Before Jerry Jones: ONE head coach (28 years).

[MeekOneGOP]

I hear ya, my FRiend. I hear ya. See #5....

[TightSqueeze]

He's not a Hall of Fame coach, he's not innovative, he's not that good, and his attitude is bad for football.

You know nothing, the Jets are still reaping the rewards from the Tuna's short stay, and just how many Super Bowl rings do you possess? Chump.

[B.O. Plenty]

Dang....I don't know how the world will survive! Dave Campo fired!...now the whole world is in big chicken fat trouble! Dave Campo fired....what a tragedy!

I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight for worrying......
