Do Ya'll think this team would be better off if Bill Parcells was still Head Coach?

[Mash]

Big Bill has his history in rebuilding teams but he would never get us to the Big Dance.

He is way to conservative.....his style is to play not to lose instead of trying to win. Its a field position game for him.

Lets us not underestimate the job Tony Sparano has done.

btw...you cant really complain what a very good job Jerry has done with drafting latley.

Bill tenure here got tiresome.....and who wants a head coach interviewing for another job during the season? What does that tell you?

I think Bill was good for Jerry and this club....but I dont ever want to see him anywhere near the Cowboys again.

Cocerning Wade.....he is what he is.....Would love to have him as a DC...but that will never happen now. The media hogwash about camp cupcake is pretty pathetic. Has this team played up to its potential? I dont know....are we over estimating the talent level here?

Bills tactics werent no better in making this team more disciplined....or more prepared to play.

I dont know about who should be the next head coach...seems like everyone wants a hard nosed coach here......thinking thats the answer to all our problems.....I dont know if that will solve anything.....we have some dumb players here who make the same mistakes all the time. Its time to man up and be accountable....players need to play better. Romo has to make better decisions....etc.

Bill Parcells is a better head coach than Wade Phillips and it isn't a coincidence that the talent skyrocketed when he was onboard.

Also, Bill Parcells never had a decent Quarterback for an entire season when he was in Dallas. Quincy Carter was average and and Chutch was horrible. Drew Bledsoe and Vinny Testeverde were washed up.

I think alot of great things could have happened if Bill Parcells had Tony Romo for an entire season.

 

[rcaldw]

in a word, no

he was washed up as a HC

This is the right answer. The team wouldn't be better because the Bill Parcells we got is not the Bill Parcells of the Giants years. He didn't have the same drive, he didn't have the same bark or bite. He was "mellow" Bill, and that wasn't what the team needed either. What is amazing is that "mellow" Bill looked like a Pit Bull compared with Wade.

I know, given what happened at Miami, many would shout me down for this, but the guy I wish Jerry could get would be Nick Saban. That guy is a flat out coach. Did you notice when Alabama had the jump on Florida? 1st Quarter and 3rd Quarter. In my opinion Alabama was outclassed, talent wise (especially at the QB position) against Florida, but Saban's coaching plan (in the 1st Q) and halftime adjustment (3rd Q) made that a game.

Unfortunately we will never get Saban because a) He believes he is better suited to the College game, and may be and b) He would never, EVER settle for Jerry's meddling.

I was thinking this same thing on Sunday.

I read the Browns are REALLLLLY looking at him to go back there though.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Meh... This is the same poster who hates Jerry and complains about his meddling at every turn... And then says Mark Cuban would be a better owner.

Of course we wouldn't be better with Parcells as coach. He QUIT. He couldn't hack it anymore. And he couldn't even win a division when he was here. Thinking he would do better than what we've done the last two years is revisionist good-ol'-days thinking at its finest.

Someone posted this on the DallasCowboys.com Messageboard when after I posted this Thread:








After reading this, I gotta admit Parcells was more awful than I remember!

I'm tired of people in the National media (Mainly Just Colin Cowherd) Giving Parcells all the credit for Reviving this team.

That guys post just cracked me right up. I honestly believe he wants Parcells to die. Parcells WAS a great coach a while back but he is more suited to be an executive type in a football organization.

This is a good question and I want everyone's opinion, Do Ya'll think this team would be better off if Bill Parcells was still Head Coach?

And this also includes all the coaches and scouting Department people who left for Miami would still be part of the Cowboys.


In my opinion, this team would be much better off and we wouldn't be dealing with all the B.S. we've been dealing with the last couple of years.


What Do Y'all think?

10-6
6-10
9-7
9-7
0-2 in the playoffs

Yeah-we would still be dealing with all this BS of inconsistencies.

I don't think so. I think Bill left a year too late actually.

The biggest issues we have to deal with are usually caused by Jerry Jones and were happening while Bill was here.

Yes-it was Parcells' CALL to bring in 50 year old QBs here. If I were him, I would have plugged Romo in late in the '04 season when the season itself was pretty much over for us. Instead, he just stubbornly stuck with Vinny just b/c we were *mathematically alive* for the playoffs.

And remember the year after in the 2nd Skins game when we were down 35-0 in the 2nd half? Instead of putting in Romo in garbage time to see what he would look like, he gave into Bledsoe when Drew lobbied to stay in.

The only reason why he went with Romo midway through '06 was b/c it was panic time. His *** was on the line and Bledsoe was taking them nowhere.

What are you talking about? Jerry caused them? You DO know that Bill P wanted TO(and signed off on him as well) too, right?

 

[Cowboys2008]

Yknow seeing the Dolphins early success, the Jets, Giants and Patriots past success, and then our lacked success with Big Bill, I'm starting to wonder what the deal really may have been. Are we an uncoachable organization or wasn't he trying as hard for us? And is that because of Jerry? Or the fact that we hired an ex-Giant coach?

Is a "Jimmy Johnson" the only type of coach who can lead this team through the dismay that is possibly Jerry? Or perhaps even a Jimmy Johnson got lucky with us having the triplets, young?

 

[Boysboy]

And this is all BP's fault. What a joke. If the penalties were all his fault, why ar they happening? Why are the boneheaded plays happening? and many of them coming from players BP did not chose.

SO how has ROMO done lately without the discipline of BP?

BP convinced Jerrah to pay the Hotel the first time rather then let him go. BP also was the ONLY one that wanted to give Gurode one last chance.
BP was the one that retreived Colombo from the scrap heap.

I could go on but why bother. There are answers for most of what was brought up. But that list is like a Defense attorneys summation- it ain't the WHOLE truth.

You forgot about all those fumbles and INTs Romo had throughout the month of Dec '06. Even Parcells kept saying prior to that month how he was "dodging bullets".

Oh-and it was also BP who convinced Jerrah to extend Roy38. Was this a good idea too?? And it was also BP who TRIED to convince Jerrah to draft Marcus Spears with the #10 overall in '05 instead of Ware. Was this a good idea as well??

It's not like they're out of the woodshed just yet-their starting QB is Chad Pennington-it's not like he's their long-term solution. After this year, Bill P better sit and think long and hard on a young, hotshot franchise QB should be for them.

Same happened with us here-he lollypopped with QBs here, and put Romo in when it was desperation time for HIM.

Yeah he wanted him alright.

Some people shouldn't be allowed access to the internet. :bang2:

The difference between Bill Parcells and a coach and Wade Phillips as a coach is evident in one player:Bradie JamesWade Phillips is light years ahead of BP as a coach...
If there is any turn-around that is surprising, it is Atlanta...

 

[Yeagermeister]

I would have liked Parcells to stay around in a role like he has now in Miami but Jerry was never going to allow that.

A good rb and real qb makes all the difference.

A rookie Ryan >>>>>>>>>>>> Vick, Harrington and Heftwich

Dallas would have been better off offensively is they would have promoted Sporano which was a realistic option. Philips in his 2nd year has turned around the defense, but Red is looking like a failure.

Assuming Wade stays, you can bet there will be someone dumb enough who'll go after Red for HC. A handful of teams fell for Sean Payton, so why not Red?

I just hope it is not Dallas. Him being hired did not hurt our chances of keeping Sporano, because he left for a HC in Miami. I do not find it a coincidence that the Offense when to crap when he left for Miami.
