No Barry is, as he won a SB, Parcels set the team back 10 years by going to the 3-4. And no SB, heck he got no further than Garrett teams. :popcorn:

I realize you say this because you may have a vetted interest in the 4-3, but Parcells brought the Cowboys to 2 out of 4 playoff births in the 3-4 after 3 consecutive 5-11 years in the 4-3.

And then the next 3 years after he left, your 3-4 defensive put up a line of 32-16, still the best 3 year run you’ve had since 1995. In fact, 2007’s 3-4 year is arguably the most dominant regular season the team has EVER had:

1. You went 13-3

2. You won a division where no one had a losing record and it produced 3 total playoff teams

3. the super bowl champion also played in your division and you beat them twice

4. You had something like 13 pro bowlers, including many on your....

5. .... top 10 3-4 defense

6. And one of your only 3 losses was a close game to arguably the great football team ever assembled

Even though the Giants upset you in the playoffs, that was a historically amazing season.


the opposite argument actually holds more weight, that the 3-4 improved the Cowboys and they took a big step back for 4 years after switching back to the 4-3.

In what way did switching to a 3-4 set the team back?

Our best DEFS in the last 20 years have been 3-4

They could have had a better defense for the playoffs if they stuck with the 4-3, more suited for Ware and others.

and went on to Denvers 3-4, mentored a young Von Miller and won a SB with a very aggressive defense.

Instead he should have stayed with us and mentored a replacement, but Romo's contract did not help
