What real chance of another SB did Parcells have coming to that Cowboys team?

Jerry could never have sold Garrett's return to this fanbase.

Yep....and they were set up to go to a Super Bowl the next year and then testeverde got hurt early in the season " out for the year" and it all went up in smoke. I remember Key Johnson actually breaking down right at the podium and weeping because he knew it was all over after all the hard work they put in. So close.

Got me to checking up on his coaching history. Dang he was a much better coach than I even thought.

I remember that. Didn’t Vinny rupture his Achilles or something like that?
That team was great with Keyshawn and Chrebet at receiver and Curtis “my favorite” Martin at running back.

He might not have gotten us to a championship game but taking that Quincy Carter led Cowboy team to the playoffs was one of his best work.

He also built that roster that was the #1 seed the following year. If he didn’t retire, he very likely would have gotten us to the NFC title game at least. Sadly, he hung them up one season too soon.

I meant the coaches that actually took two different teams to a SB. I think there's more than just 4.

Jones basically said that he asked Garrett personality about him meeting McCarthy before he even interviewed and spoke about Garrett’s ‘classy response’. This idea Garrett was coming back is denied by Jerry himself.

Anything about Garrett is just PR by the Jones to save his face. Even Jerry Mentions the Garrett family ties to him and the organization. He even said he’s written checks to a Garrett in football, for all but TWO years.

I wasn't talking about the Cowboys. Parcells won a SB with the NYG and lost a SB with the New England Patriots. I'm just including coaches that took two separate teams to a SB.
Had Parcells stayed with the Cowboys he had a shot IMO. That 2007 team he built. I do not believe the Cowboys would have taken a turn for the worse in 2008 had he stayed.
