The rumors have swirled all season that Bill Parcells was considering retirement, but the coach denied them publicly. Privately, according to old friend Pat Summerall, Parcells did consider hanging it up after the Cowboys fell from 10-6 and a playoff bid in 2003 to 6-10 in ’04. Parcells will return to the sideline in ’05, but expect to see a different approach from the coach — and it could come to bear in the team’s offseason moves. Parcells balked at owner Jerry Jones’ preference to spend big money on a right cornerback last offseason, and the team struggled with a revolving-door crop of rookies opposite Terence Newman. The team is in good shape in salary-cap terms (approximately $20 million under), and even though Jones has gone on the record as saying the team will be conservative in its spending, you might see Parcells favor the addition of immediate free-agent help — especially on defense — to complement its two first-round picks.
I guess no one can blame Jerry for this one, or for that matter this year when Bill doesn't draft or sign a corner "because of the new rules".
