FWST Blog: Romo Quotes "A" Coach

[Hostile]

Weird. I don't see the players trying to distance themselves from Parcells at all. I guess it's all in how you look at a glass of water.

Yeah, BP was always known for using boxing analogies to motivate his football teams.

And horse racing. :laugh2:

Eh, it was better than the "I don't know" we get from Phillips.

Just a different style of coach. I like them both. I was glad that BP was here because I felt he was the right man at the right time for this team. I think Wade is the right man for this team now. I don't know if a hardnosed coach would have made last weeks drama worse or better than Wade handled it which was more behind closed doors than calling players out or adding fuel to the fire. As much as I like BP I think this situation will TO would have caused a major meltdown because I don't think TO cared for or trusted BP that much to begin with.

Here's the story, for those interested. Seems like we've been playing the role of Cyclone Hart.

No one will deny the molding of Parcells, his footprint is all over this team.

I agree, regardless of what his teams did on the field, this FRANCHISE was changed for the better during his tenure in Big D.

They did the year after Parcells left. T.O., Spears, Julius Jones - all were talking about how they would be treated like men, or they were free to flourish as players, etc.

But I will say Romo wasn't one of them. In fact, I remember a comment he made saying he appreciated Parcells because he taught him a lot. And, IIRC, the comment was a rebuttal to all the other comments about feeling "free" up from under a Parcells regime.

Uh, Parcells team was just as penalized or moreso than Wade's.

Hence the quote "I don't coach penalties".

I think this year we have already equaled the high for parcells tenure here as the cowboys coach in terms of penalties.

wade actually has less penalties per year than parcells did

Shsssh. ...you suppose to remember that we don't have any discipline.

2003-98 penalties
2004-105 penalties
2005-99 penalties
2006-100 penalties
2007-104 penalties
2008 with two games left - 105 penalties.

so how is this math working again?

And how do you think Mac Engel is going to look at any glass of water when it comes to the Cowboys?

Parcells, great at telling a football story.

Parcells, too old to run an offense that needs to score over 12.

One platoon football. Your grandpa liked it, but that ain't the way the NFL rolls.
