FoxSports: Tuna to Detroit?

[Maikeru-sama]

the only thing keeping Parcells here, is the fact that Bill likes this team

Im sure Giants, New England and Jets fans all felt the same way.

Look, I doubt the guy is going anywhere. I really do. Im just stating that I would not be surprised if he found another gig. As far as I am concerned he has done a great job and has really done wonders with this organization.

Bill is a Troubleshooter. The Boys still have trouble, but at some point, he may get this thing to where he feels that there isnt anymore trouble to shoot.

In my opinion, Detroit has more talent right now than Dallas had in 2003. It's still a rebuilding project, though. One of those teams the Tuna loves to whip into shape. Until Parcells makes it sound like he has long-term goals elsewhere, I'm not going to believe it. Parcells has continually stated in press conferences that he realizes Dallas is probably his last coaching gig. Parcells doesn't look like he's in the kind of shape Dick Vermeil is, I can't see him going much longer.

Can you imagine where this franchise would be if we had their talent in 2003? Depending on the situation, I bet alot of coaches would go to Detroit because of the young talent there.

I still dont understand the need to draft all those Wide Receivers, that still troubles me to this day.

All ya need is a quarterback and you probably have a winning record.

For one, any decent coach in their right minds won't work for Millen. Hopefully, Mooch makes a much better decision in choosing his next HC gig-he deserves better.

And two, FWIW-it took Mike Holmgren 7 years to make Seattle what it is now. Parcells is already making alot of progress(with a poor foundation he inherited here et al)-let's give it time.

You must have misunderstood my post. I never ever mentioned anywhere in my posts that Parcells was not doing a good job.

In fact, I listed his "success" with us as a reason he may leave.

Whew, can you imagine Bledsoe having that type of fire power around him.

I wish we had a young wideout like a Mike Williams or Roy Williams...

Bill leaves when he feels he has accomplished something, he brought the GIants 2 championship rings, brought the Pats to the Super Bowl, he brought the Jets this close to a Super Bowl berth

he hasn't accomplished anything in Dallas, so due to that, and the talent that he's accumulated here, all the rookies, and young guys he brought in, who he really likes, and he's going to be here for the foreseeable future...

They have the talent yes, but did any of you guys see Roy Williams laughing after he dropped like 3 balls from Garcia when they played Green Bay? None of those guys have any heart. Maybe Mike Williams, but Rogers and Roy Williams will always be great on paper, but lack something on the field.

I agree with you that I wouldn't be surprised if BP left, but let me jump on the hypocrisy wagon and follow that up with I don't see him leaving. BP retires for good as the HC of the Cowboys. He is a few players away from a magical team.

That and apparently, he and Jerry are getting along very well-which has all but surprised everyone.

Remember that clash he had with Bob Kraft in NE-we were hearing variations of this story 100's of times. Hardly the case here.

yep, Kraft never let BP buy all the groceries like Jerry is allowing him to do

there's nothing keeping Bill here, but everything...

I thought it was in Bill's contract here that BOTH he and Jerry have rights to roster moves and so forth?

Mike, I had to double check their depth chart to see where all that talent is. Besides receiver, I just don't see it. Jones may turn out to be OK but besides that?
And when has Parcells ever liked flashy receivers? He didn't want Glenn to begin with, didn't draft Keyshawn, and went with pretty average guys with the Gints. I consider Glenn and Key to be workmanlike performers at this point.
And you know how Parcells hates mistake prone QBs cough-JoeyHarringtonandorJeffGarcia-cough.
I'll kiss a 'skins fan if Parcells end up in Detroit for anything besides a plane change.

 

[NorthDalal]

The chances of Millen being in place in Detroit in February are roughly equivalent to the chances of Jerry getting through a press converence without an Aaaahhhmmm....

Total fabrication story.

 

[jbsg02]

that's crazy talk

 

[Sarge]

I am too. Tuna is going nowhere. he will re-up for 2 more years.

Had to post it though.

Don't ever post something that stupid again. Ya got me.

 

[patfoley32]

why the hell we are so close

 

[Hostile]

Don't ever post something that stupid again. Ya got me.

I'm sorry Sarge. Hopefully the jolt to the ticker got your adrenaline up.

 

[kojak]

I would think he would at least coach out his contract. I have heard him say a few times that he isn't done rebuilding this team that best suits him. Unless something drastic happens to his health, I would think he at least is here for another year and maybe more.

I cant believe nobody had posted this...Czarnecki isnt a mass rumor monger either...he does a good job with his inside info for the most part...anyway here is the story:

How about Cowboys coach Bill Parcells in Motown?

It's definitely a wish-list idea. I know Matt Millen — Parcells is definitely his type of coach.
You know the Tuna's style, his way or the highway. And Millen wants a disciplinarian for his next coach, probably his last hiring with the Lions.

Parcells, though, is considering a contract extension from Dallas owner Jerry Jones. Parcells currently has one year left at $4.6 million on his original four-year contract.

And why hasn't Parcells signed that contract extension?

Does he want to wiggle his way out of Dallas?


Matt Millen probably only has one more shot at hiring a head coach in Detroit. Bill Parcells wouldn't be a bad way to go. (Tom Pidgeon / Getty Images)

Does he want leverage in order to earn $6 million or more a season?

There is no doubt that Parcells has friends in Detroit and has always respected Lions owner William Clay Ford, a noted hands-off owner and one who believes in spending money in order to build a winner. It just hasn't happened for him. Parcells and Millen are friends, too. Parcells is sympathetic to Millen's plight.

There is no doubt that Parcells wants to continue coaching. His health is fine, and he could use a few more good earning years before retiring to a new home in Saratoga, N.Y, just a few miles away from his second favorite sport, horse racing.

If Parcells looks like a long shot to end up in Detroit, you can bet that Millen will look hard at Maurice Carthon, a former Parcells player who has done a very good job this season as offensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns. Carthon is a no-nonsense coach like Parcells, plus he worked as an assistant on Marty Mornhinweg's teams in Detroit.

However, Carthon is a long way from being Parcells. Besides, can Millen really risk hiring a NFL assistant who has never been a head coach?

The other assistant high on Millen's list is probably Giants defensive coordinator Tim Lewis, a coach he wanted to interview prior to hiring Steve Mariucci.

Lewis, though, declined the opportunity because he felt he was simply a token minority candidate who didn't have a chance against Mariucci. Millen was fined $200,000 by the league for failing to interview a minority candidate and now he may have two of them — after Parcells — at the top of his list.
