When the Cowboys were practicing at the Alamodome under Coach Bill Parcells years back, the loudspeakers were blasting music loudly just like the author of this article described as being typical of Seattle's TC practices. It was viewed by many, myself included, as a distraction and something that was creating a carnival-like atmosphere that was generally considered a nuisance and a distraction to boot by most discerning fans. Parcells, as one might expect, was highly disenchanted with that setup and eventually persuaded Jerry to abandon the practice. I've gotta say, I strongly suspect the account given by this Seahawks fan may very well have been viewed in somewhat of a biased perspective. It's surely a contrast in styles just as the headline suggests but it doesn't necessarily mean one is better than the other. The Seahawks' coach is a known rah-rah type and it's surely reflected in player reactions. The Cowboys usually maintain a more businesslike demeanor but that doesn't necessarily mean it's any less effective. It's all simply a matter of philosophical approach to coaching more than anything else. Different strokes.
