If we win the SB, do we credit BP at all?

You have me all wrong. I don't hate Parcells. He should have stayed retired though because his coaching methods are from yesteryear and they simply will not work in the current NFL. He has earned zero credit as far as the future success or failure of the Dallas Cowboys is concerned, NONE! He has done a barely mediocre job of acquiring talent here and his coaching absolutely sucks. His negative, controlling, personality sucked all the life out of the entire franchise, even his boss speaks of the fact that it will be good to not have everyone walking on eggshells around VR. Just because he got some good results at other locations, that doesn't earn him any points as far as the Cowboys are concerned.

It is good that the Cowboys acquired better talent while he was here, but he would have almost had to try NOT to acquire better talent than what we had prior to his arrival, in order to NOT to have improved the talent level. He gets no points for doing anything special there because he did not do anything special. His coaching was atrocious, predictable, lousy, play not to lose, sickening to watch, as imaginative as a slug. Thank God he is gone.

ALLLLLL RIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTY THEN

can they win a playoff game first?

:laugh2:

but to the OP, if we win a Super Bowl this year, then yes, you have to give BP some of the credit, as most of the players we're heading into the season w/ are his guys

Disciplined teams do not underachieve and fold down the stretch every year. But I do thank Parcells for adding talent to the team ..... he would still make a great general manager ..... but his ability to coach died with his brother in my opinion.

How did the Cowboys underachieve? They started the year with Deadslow at QB and replaced him with a QB that had never played before and made the playoffs. For a realist, they overachieved.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

BP should get the same credit if we win the SB as he would if we go 1-15.

Sure give him credit for recognizing he can't coach and motivate players anymore. and knew it was time to move on.

IF they win the SB.....and I'm certainly not holding breath.....but if they did...

That means the QB played a major role.....which means he was brought along in a proper way...for that you give credit to not only Bill Parcells, but Sean Peyton for his input in bringing him in....Jerry Jones for doing it.... Vinny Testeverde from whom in Romo's own words...taught him a great deal....and then add in Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett for getting him..and the team assembled by the aforementioned....over the hump.

I hear ya.... and you certainly make a good "tree" of points..... BUT.... I gotta tell ya.... the last 2 SB's.... the winning teams could have won without a QB under center.... Colts-running game and D..... Steelers and Ben's 25.0 QB rating?

I'm sorry ..... you must have missed all November and later games for the last 4 years ......

For the game itself....but the QBs did play a huge role in at least getting them there, as I would suspect would also be the case should Dallas get there. At that point, I wouldn't care if Romo had a 25 rating, as long as Dallas won.
