Bill Parcells Remaining Around the Team - Good or Bad?

[Crown Royal]

I have not, and will not, give what my opinion was before Parcells left or now that he has left. It has been debated here enough without my input.

That being said, I will say that I do hope he remains around here. Even with his shortcomings, I do not believe that he is a football moron and still have a lot of value, especially concerning player management/talent acquisition.

It is my hope that he stick around, sorta like an unofficial consultant to the head coach. I think whatever head coach comes in would be wise to listen to his opinion, even if they are not heeded, as I do believe that Parcells knows this team.

What do you think? Do you hope that he hangs around and just has some input in the goings on, or do you hope that he leaves the organization alone and allows the new staff their control without his input?

I hope he never leaves us at all. Would love for him to die with an association with the cowboys, Don't see it happening though.

I love that he is helping out around Valley Ranch and he is giving Jerry advice.

I cant trust Jerry but I still trust Bill a lot more than I do Jerry when it comes to football so what ever advice Bill gives I hope Jerry takes into consideration.

 

[AbeBeta]

Jerry listens to him and he's not a yes man. That's very valueable

If Norval Turner ends up as HC, I'd /really/ like to see Parcells hang around, to evaluate talent and suggest potential defensive coaches. I think SkinsAndTerps makes a pretty strong case that talent evaluation isn't Norv's strongest suit.

Agreed

what if Parcells tells Jones Turner is the best guy for the job?

Parcells is hanging around for a reason...Jones has had him talk to everyone else he's interviewed and I'm assuming Parcells will visit with Norv too

everyone believes Jerry is the only one making the decision here, and in fact he might not be

Sorry - I didn't write it in there, but that is part of my point. I am thrilled that Parcells is helping out with the hiring of the coaching.

Please don't turn my thread into a current-coach debate though.

Parcells will offer an opinion, that doesn't mean Jones will listen.

Great point. Plus the fact he's got his mitts all over the nfl clear into the college level. I want him flying Jerrys jet whenever he's on football business.
It beats the living crap out of JJ going at it alone which is why I appreciate the fact he goes to Troy, an NFL athlete, for advice.
Keep them ears open and the mouth shut Jerry, so far so good.

Which is a good thing. Not all Parcells opinions are gonna fit the Cowboys, as we all know.

 

[maxsports]

Hmmm.... Parcells is staying around through next week. I only say it is a good thing if Jerry ever interviews some other coaches like Ron Rivera. Jerry didn't need anyone's help coming up with the 3 guys he has interviewed.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I like the idea of him hanging around and helping. I also like that he has been helping his former coaches with getting other jobs with other teams.

I think he is a valuable sounding board for Jerry and I don't think he beats around the bush to Jerry.

Jerry has said in the past that he is a wildcatter and gambler and it is good to have someone around him to balance that nature.

I think Jerry will continue to use Bill as a sounding board, even when he is not here, and I think Bill would be happy to listen.

I would not be shocked to see Bill come back to visit or help evaluate in the future...maybe not in an official paid role but still come and look things/players over.

Jerry has talked with Ron Wolfe many times in the past, has had him come in and look at players as well.

I think Bill will do the same thing if Jerry would ask him.

It, IMO, is just further proof that Jerry and Bill has not had a blowup like some believe and like many of the media has been predicting since Bill was hired.

I have way, waaaaayyyyyy more faith in Parcells than I do Jonsey.

Good.

I agree. Plus it's a nice transition out of the game for Parcells. He's not packing up all his stuff in boxes in a couple of hours and that's it. The end. Finished. Ka-put.

He's probably telling Jerry "Ya know, I got nothing planned thru March. Just so you know." He'll still have his hands in on his project hoping it all turns out next year. I really think BP loves this team.

Good.

Thats it? Good? I feel slighted.
