Is there anybody who is missing Parcells as Our Head Coach Right now?

[Hostile]

That's a rather simplistic and pedestrian way of looking at it. I wish I could say I'm surprised.

Yea, it's real simple. Win when it counts. He couldn't. We started 3 of the 4 seasons he was here with a loss and we ended every single season he was here with a loss. Good riddance.

I know am!:cry2:

And I was one of the main people who wanted Parcells gone after the 2006 season. (Mainly because I hate the 3-4 defense) But this team needs his discipline more than ever. This team needs a strong head Coach and somebody who will keep Jerry, The Locker Room and Valley Ranch in check.
I see this team going 5-11 next year.


Where do y'all think this team would be right now if Parcells was still Head Coach?

NO... NO... NO... NO!!! :bang2:

I guess you're ready to bail on Romo and Ware, too?

He was the best coach we had here since Jimmy. Of course he inherited the 5-11 mess Campo and Jerry created instead of the back to back Super Bowl championships Jimmy left for Barry.

I wasn't thrilled if several things about Parcells' coaching, but he's still far better than the Switzer/Gailey/Campo/Wade quartet of losers Jerry usually gives us.

You guess wrong. I think Romo needs to answer his critics. Ware shouldn't have any.

 

[Idgit]

I know I miss Parcels and his 9-7 juggernauts. If only we could get that back somehow.

What happened to "Win when it counts"?

Better football man than them? Absolutely. Never said he wasn't. Probably better than all of those ham and eggers put together.

Good enough results? Not by a damn sight.

Could he have turned it around and produced the results we wanted? We will never know because of the yellow stripe up his back.

The guy walks away over a bobbled snap, one play away from a post seasonw in that could have been the first step on the road to our dreams and I am supposed to genuflect to him? Forgive me, my knees and back hurt too bad to suffer for that piece of chicken.

 

[Hostile]

What happened to "Win when it counts"?

They haven't. I don't deny that. Are they walking away?

 

[Concord]

Don't miss Parcells at all.

But it just kills me that we go from one extreme to the other.

Parcells...

Phillips...

Thanks Jerry.

Now you're adding things in.

[bbgun]

I don't deny it: I was happy when he left. He had a way of making every victory feel like a searing defeat. He was a joyless curmudgeon who always felt he was the smartest guy in the room, and treated second-guessers in the press with compete disdain. If someone can dig up the main thread from the day he resigned, I'm sure it will reveal that most of us here were tired of his act. We weren't doomed by his departure; we were doomed by the laissez faire personality of his successor and an owner/GM who would rather be "one of the boys."

 

[yimyammer]

No I wish he was the GM and Sparano was the Coach.

Me too, its sickening to see all the coaches that have fled the Ranch and succeed elsewhere since Parcells left

 

[jobberone]

Not only no, hell no. I am glad he is gone. Just wasn't good enough for my epicurean tastes.

Tom Landry...250-162-6 regular season, 20-16 post season, overall record 270-178-6, .776 winning %.

Jimmy Johnson...44-36 regular season, 7-1 post season, overall record 51-37, .580 winning %.

Barry Switzer...40-24 regular season, 5-2 post season, overall record 45-26, .634 winning %.

Chan Gailey...18-14 regular season, 0-2 post season, overall record 18-16, .529 winning %.

Dave Campo...15-33 overall record, .313 winning %.

Bill Parcells....34-30 regular season, 0-2 post season, overall record 34-32, .515 winning %.

Wade Phillips...22-10 regular season, 0-1 post season. overall record 22-11, .667 winning %.


So the only guy he did better than is Dave "Timeclock" Campo. Why the hell would I miss that guy? Right, I wouldn't.

Parcells inherited a mess. He turned us into a legit organization again. I don't miss all of him though. He was too conservative for todays offenses although probably not as much as many think. Pitt and Balt do well with it but they have dominanting defenses. Here's where he wasn't flexible enough. There are other examples and problems.

It's not a simple thing but I doubt Parcells will or could change enough. But the infrastructure he put in here was outstanding. Jerry has torn a lot down. There would be none of this chaos with Parcells here.

We saw what one possibility of what it is like to have a different GM here via Parcells influence.

I'd love to see someone who bends in the wind but doesn't break. Ever. Shannahan would be a good person to bring in here.

not just no but hell no...he is a shell of his former self

 

[Hostile]

No, I'm not adding things. Players were added to my list of coaches. They aren't the same job. Tank Johnson says he cannot wait to get out of here. Good riddance. Take your fat butt and yellow streak and toodles.

 

[InmanRoshi]

Parcells was probably past his prime as a head coach, but there's no question he knows how to build a winning organization. And it's kind of funny how much of his organizational philosophy was criticized as being old fashioned and irrational suddenly has some logic behind it.

Then ...

"I'm sorry, but in this modern age you got to let the men be men and let the players be themselves. Eventually you just have to trust your players to do the right thing".

Today ...

"Players late for meetings. Players running their mouths. There's no discipline here and no accountability."

Then ....

"Why is Parcells so paranoid about the media? Why does he insist that he's the only one on his staff that talks? What's the big deal about letting his assistant coaches talk?"

Today ...

"This team just need to shut up and quit talking so much. We have people leaking stuff to the media and every other day we have someone on ESPN adding fuel to the fire."

Then ...

"Parcells wears players down. Guys like Romo and Witten have accomplished enough in the league that they don't have to be hounded all the time. Just let them go out and play."


Today ...

"Romo is fat and happy. He doesn't have the desire to be great. He's happy just being good enough."

Then ...

"In this modern age of offense, you just can't win with convervative game plans that just focus on the power running game and time of possession".

Today ...

"Next year we need to go back to a power running offense and quit asking Romo to sling it around all over the field"

Yea, it's real simple. Win when it counts. He couldn't. We started 3 of the 4 seasons he was here with a loss and we ended every single season he was here with a loss. Good riddance.

He also took a talentless 5-11 team and turned them into a playoff team with a solid nucleus of young, talented players.

Wade, on the other hand, inherited a talented team on the upswing and, in two short years, has proceeded to tear down everything Parcells built. The team is now a muddled mess of individuals without any leadership or accountability.

Win when it counts? When has Wade ever, in his whole career, won anything that counts? Phillips has lost the last game of every season he has coached in Dallas as well.

The only good thing that I thought would come from that 44-6 drubbing to end the season would have been Wade's firing.

So, to answer the original question, would I rather have Parcells in Dallas instead of Wade? Absolutely. Future HOF coach with Super Bowl wins and a proven track record of building teams or Wade Phillips, a career loser? No brainer.

 

[Juke99]

Uh....lemme think about it.

NO.

As a GM...maybe. As an operations guy, maybe. As a guy who can influence how the organization runs, maybe.

As a coach?

No way.

Pretty much how I feel. I think he's too conservative but.....

Do you think we would have lost the Philly game 44-6 with Parcells as coach?
