Jimmy Johnson or Bill Parcells

[Compacity]

In voting, also state:

- Why you voted for either coach
- State the one weakness from another coach strength

Jimmy...Won Cowboys superbowls is the choice for me. Jimmy, willing to rebuild and give young QB a chance and playing time...Jimmy, didn't say "I'm too old to lose"...Jimmy, better game day coach.

Telant evaluation I would put them about equal.

Both big Ego...But personally like Jimmy better. BP likes to use his ego to try to show how smart he is and how dumb everyone else is...Jimmy more of a fun and happy go lucky guy.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Neither. I want new blood. Gary Kubiak!

I vote Jimmy Johnson because he continued a Cowboys tradition defense: Dooms Day
4-3 a defense that is base off of the motto Bend but don't break...

I didn't vote Parcells because 3-4 defense is execute or die...Just notice last year 4th down from this year...

2004: 4th 28.6%
2005: 29th 63.6%

We have gotten worst in finishing games out...

I like Jimmy Johnson better for simply the reason he brings an upbeat swagger to him of cockiness and confidence. He instills this into his players and those around him. Bill brings a grumpy I don't give a **** attitude that can also cause many to dislike him. Between these two no doubt Jimmy gets my vote.

[Verdict]

There really is no comparing the two. Bill is really old school, almost to a fault, on the other hand I really think draft wise he seems to be building for the long haul. Johnson built a hell of a team, but he did it with Herschell Walker trade picks, got fortunate to have Aikman fall in his lap, and there was no salary cap, and very little free agent movement in his early years. Johnson laid his share of eggs in drafting players as well. The only difference was he had more picks and thus more chances to hit on his picks.

My best guess is with Parcells at the helm next year his style of coaching won't change, but our success rate will continue to climb because he is building a team that fits his style of coaching rather than adapting his coaching style to fit his players. I find it ironic that he probably adapted his coaching style to his talent available his first year, and he was the most successful, record wise, but it probably delayed our rebuilding for a year.

If Jimmy was our coach next year he would probably be successful as well, but would just do it differently. Jimmy did a great job for us, but lets not fall into the trap of thinking he's the cure all, he couldn't get it done in Miami, in part because he was hamstrung with Marino in his later years and that was a puzzle piece that just wasn't as good as he was in his prime.

I guess the short version of the answer to this question is: either one would win next year. We will be better and we will be playing a bit easier schedule as the third place team in our division.

You gave me no chance but I say NO to anyone of them both will hang u dry we need someone who cares about the team and not just about Me Myself and I

 

[Verdict]

Jimmy Johnson did a great job winning super bowls with the Dallas Cowboys and did a good job in Miami. On the other hand, he sucked eggs as coach of the OSU Cowboys. Make no mistake, he is a good coach, but he got the Dallas Cowboys job because of his relationship with Jerry Jones, not because he was considered the best coach available.

Since he didn't set the world on fire as coach of the Dolphins (or leave the team in great shape roster-wise either) lets not annoint him the cure all for everything that ails us. Every Coach has his warts.

I think Parcells himself stated "He's not for everyone" and his style of coaching doesn't fit very well when you lose. He was honest then. It is just hitting home now.

looks like the texans at first glance. : )

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I wish Jim Varney were still alive...then everytime one of these same threads pop up I could lobby to have Earnest coach the Dallas Cowboys...then we could all watch the movie...

Earnest Coaches the Cowboys.

But since he is not alive any longer what about someone that happens to look like him...

Dick LeBeau.


For the record I do not want Dick LeBeau to be the HC hear...would not mind as DC.

He just stopped by the Dolphins facility because it was close to his home in the Keys...To tell Jerry he's on his way.

He's on a flight right now to Dallas per Chris Mortenson!

I voted Jimmy Johnson. I can't help it. It doesn't mean I want Parcells gone either. I just can't ignore the man who launched one of the greatest dynasties in Cowboys and NFL history.

 

[dmq]

Both are great coaches. I just don't like how Parcells has assembled his staff.

MY REAL QUESTION IS: WHAT HAVE PARCELLS DONE FOR THE COWBOYS?

Chan Gailey took us to the playoffs...every year he was there, he just could win a playoff game...

Bill Parcells take us to the playoffs and we lose in the first round and miss the playoffs 2 years in a roll... What's the problem? Can't find a mobile Quarterback?

Vince Young...

 

[Asklesko]

I want Jimmy. The Parcells era is stagnant, and hopefully, Jimmy can refresh the organization.

Agree with all those statements except the talent evaluation. Jimmy made much better later picks than Parcells. Jimmy hit about 75% in the later rounds, Parcells is 50/50 at best. Also Jimmy Johnson would have played Henson the season the boys were 6-10 a whole lot sooner. We would have been the worst team in the NFL, but probably have gottent the 1st through 4th overall pick.

Jimmy Johnson would've gave Tyson Thompson a good chance to shine... Jimmy is not a favortism type coach...Parcells is... he kickin all of the original Cowboys players off of the team for his old 90's dream team...

Let's get Jimmy Johnson... remember what Jimmy Johnson said after he got Emmitt three years later I will draft another runningback just like him...

Let's continue the Jimmy Johnson 4-3 Tradition...
