I would agree but I also think a guy like BP at his age gets his livlihood from coaching. It keeps him youthful and busy. It gives him a reason to get out of bed. He doesn't seem the type to spend his twilight years in retirement with loads of idle time. He loves being a part of the "boys club" once again and I think he really gets alot of gratifacation from mentoring these young bucks and developing relationships with them.the man is getting on in years. his reputation is already made but he probably doesn't wanna leave "the big room" with an ounce of lustre lost. i think he's going "all in" on this hand. if the cowboys don't make a significant run he'll coach out this contract and step away feeling he gave it his best shot. and if they do make a run at it - he'll stay for a couple more hands.
I can't tell you how happy that would make me.Woody'sGirl said:I think he'll sign an extension for an extra two years, but alot of it is health permitting. They said they couldn't do it and that the two of them working together would be an unholy alliance, but I think Bill and Jerry make a great team. And they have a healthy respect for one another. I think as long as Bill wants to do it, Jerry will let him.

his ego sucks...his coaching style sucks...
He will never come close to the HOF...
He is just a old Giant reject, who will never have the
legacy of JIMMY JOHNSON ...IMO

Im assuming that you are saying if we are terrible this season, he will leave this year or the next. But I dont think BP would leave on a losing note. If last year is any indication, another losing season might cause him to stay longer.
I dont think that this year's record has much to do with how long he will stick around ultimately.
The only thing that could terminate his stay early would be a rift between he and someone in upper management.
