Parcells would have won here if he did things his own way from day one.
Instead he let Jerry talk one of the innovators of the 34 defense into keeping Zimmer and his 43 because Jerry just extended him and didn't want to eat the contract.
He willed an awful team into the playoffs in his first year, and by the time reality set in the following year and he demanded his way (not enough success for stadium approval yet), two years of a time bomb relationship already expired.
Jerry got cocky over being right about Ware, and Owens did indeed make a huge difference on the field.
So he pulled his.....this is easy, I'll take it from here routine and forced Parcells out.
It was HIS team that had a one seed in 2007. They weren't ready to play that NY game, and Parcells would have made a difference.
On his way out, he said in a few years you won't even know I was here.
A special teams draft and a bit of time later....Wade was the scapegoat and Jerry felt like it was time to promote his hand picked project Jason Garrett.
We know the rest....
The culture thing is massive and is only different under a strong minded coach who commands respect.
Until that happens its all about nice guy Jerry.
