For those comparing Switzer to Wade, I have to laugh. Switzer was a figurehead. His coordinators came up with the game plans, w/out much, if ANY input from Switzer. Switzer was just happy to be in the NFL, truth was, he did not earn the right to be a NFL coach, let alone coach of the best team in the league, of the decade, maybe all time. You cannot say that about Wade. Wade has earned his shot the right way, he has the experience and success in the NFL, no matter what you may think of his personality.
And for the last time, THIS team is not Parcells' team. There may be players who played for both, but the offensive, defensive and ST philosophy, scheme and attitude (aggressive big play mentality vs. conservative play not to lose) are completely Wade's. Every guy on the team is NOW a Wade's guy. Every single one.
Which is a good thing. Parcells had previous success, but as a Cowboys' coach he was a mass of negativity. Not to mention he was as wishy washy as Brett Favre is about retirement. In the end Parcells was a quitter, which perfectly describes his teams' performance in key games. Parcells' guys loved to talk, but walked on pins and needles b/c Parcells was quick to point out his players' failures (publically and privately), his players played with fake swagger. It took a while, but that fake stuff is starting to fade.
