Am I the only one who thinks Todd Bowles will do a good job?

[AtlCB]

Parcells has been really high on this guy for a while. He was also really high on Sean Payton. Zimmer was a very good DC, but just wasn't that great with the 3-4. I predict that both Dallas and Atlanta will have top 10 defenses next year.

 

[Doomsday]

He might but I think most of us would rather see someone with experience running an effective 3-4 be brought in. Anytime you promote someone with little to no experience you are taking a risk in my opinion. Hopefully it will pan out but its hard for me to buy into it when he was part of the staff that had no answers last year.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Bowles is a good coach and I was ecstatic when we hired him to replace Zimmer as secondary coach.

So it's not that he isn't a capable coach. it's just that Parcells will still be pulling all the strings, and we won't see much of a visible change in our defense.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I honestly have no clue what to expect.

I won't lie, I wanted one of the other coaches to come in and be the DC...because I KNOW they have exp and good defenses.

But with Todd and possibly a combo of Todd B and Paul P.

I just don't know.

However I really believe this will be a one year situation.

Me too... I have no idea... I just HOPE he can do better.
If he does REAL well... he will get more than one year a...t I would think

 

[aikemirv]

We have no evidence to show that he will be a good 3-4 coordinator.

At least if you got an assistant to a successful 3-4 defense you would have a better level of confidence since he was around one that really played well.

 

[CATCH17]

I have no clue to be excited or think that its going to be more Zimmer bullcrap.

Terrence Newman seems to think the guy is going to be good and believe he will make adjustments when people figure out what it was we are doing.

I hope hes right but I think the best thing for these players is to get someone from the outside.

 

[mbanx]

Pasq used to coach a 3-4 in college did'nt he? Might be the closest we get.

 

[Aikbach]

I think either one of them can do it, they're just not a glamorous headline that would soothe us pyscologically.

 

[DipChit]

I think he'll do a good job if the players do a good job. In fact I think he'll do a great job if the players do a great job.

But then as always, I tend to over complicate things.

We can only hope that he can be Sean Payton-like. Sean was a so-so OC/assistant HC.... but as a coach he has proven he can atleast hang and then some... so maybe Bowles calling his own shots as DC he can be as successful......... Bill leave him alone....

I would like someone with exp.

However just as you said we have no evidence to show that he will be good...you could also say we have no evidence to show he will be bad.

That is just it, we don't know.

Can't believe that anymore. Parcells is painted as a dictator, who won't allow any input, everyone suggests that he hamstrings everyone under him and forces them to do things his way, but I don't believe it for a second. I believe the people under him have enormous influence on what goes on on the field every sunday. The offense we saw run here was Payton's, and the defense was Zimmers'.

If Bowles and possibly Pasqualoni are anywhere near as competent and innovative as the squad appointed on offense last year, there will be a huge change in our defensive approach. Parcells will find the coach he feels is most capable, and he will allow him to put his ideas on the field. You don't develop the coaching tree Parcells has sprung by stifling ideas - that's a generalization based in large part on how he handles the media, and public aspect of the team, but it has little base.

i think with parcells back and the DC promoted from within, dallas fans will see more of what they saw this yr. bowles will be handicapped by parcells parameters just as zimmer was. and besides, wasnt it bowles who was calling the cover scheme? remember bill said, zimmer pasq, and bowles all had part in coming up with the gameplan for gameday.

But Zimmer called the plays on game day, and he was notorious for going ultra conservative under pressure.

Will Bowles? Nobody knows. But he seems to have Parcells ear (he is largely credited for talking Bill into Henry) and may be given some leeway to do what he wants as the offensive coaches were this year.

 

[lurkercowboy]

Bowles would be a good choice, but I don't like the idea of having a run defense coordinator and a pass defense coordinator. Splitting the job on offense is somewhat easier because at least the coaches should know when the Cowboys are going to run and pass. On defense, they don't know. One guy needs to be in overall charge of the defense.

 

[STSINAZ]

It Doesnt Matter, Bp Runs The Whole Team, You Could Have Mickey Mouse In There, It All Depends On Bill

he has parcells ear because thats the only way he'd have a job. parcells only picks his coaches that he can manipulate. why do u think people like payton, carthon, and zimmer were so quick to leave when better things came.

u think anybody in the league would even look at bowles or pasq for a Dc job?

Funny how so many of these 'puppets' have become successful coaches in this league, no?

funny how they have while under parcells they failed. thats really the funny thing isnt it? once they got out from parcells blanket they flourished. thanks for proving my point
