Your right it was still Jerry who signed TO. Parcells was upset that they didn't get Spears with their first pick but he used the 2nd first rounder on Spears, which obviously states that Parcells has had control over who he can pick. Garrett doesn't even have that.

You may not like Parcells, but he changed a lot with this organization more than you can admit. It righted this sinking ship on where it was supposed to go.

Parcells cut out the unnecessary baggage to this team. He let Emmitt Smith go. Jerry would never do that.

Parcells got Flozelle Adam signed a big contract. While Jerry didn't want to give it to him.

Parcells changed the philosophy of the team. Got rid of people playing dominos and Roddy making the place look like a circus. Parcells wasn't afraid to call people out as well, even the old timers.

Sure, Jerry signed TO. But Parcells brought in a lot more of his people and his coaches than anyone have heard of. Parcells rode people hard even TO and got him under control. No one ranted at Parcells and not even TO. Antonio Bryant threw a tantrum at Parcells and Parcells had him shipped out. Heck, Parcells got rid of their starting QB, which was Carter back then, which eventually led to Romo being a Cowboy till now.

Parcells drafts were terrible especially Fasano and Carpenter. But he got Witten, Gurode, Terry Glen, Peyton as a coach, and basically made the Dallas Cowboys a fully functional football team.

Sorry for the messy post. Went to a bar to see the Pacquio fight. Im drunk.

But I stand by what Parcells has done tot this team. His legacy still lives on.

Parcels biggest mistake was not giving Sean Payton a stronger influence. We rode Sparano instead of him.

I agree that Parcells changed the culture in Dallas, and that he brought a LOT to the team that had not been present since Jimmy Johnson left. To say that I "didn't like" Parcells would be an inaccuracy of the highest degree.

That being said, Jerry Jones still ran things around here. Just like with JG now, he sought his coach's input, and in most cases, deferred to it.

Jerry is still the same. However, Parcells changed a lot of the things that I would say that Garrett would not dare do. Or that Garrett just doesn't have the capacity of doing. Take for instance, Flo Adams. Jerry wanted him gone. Yet Parcells knew the importance of a line and got him a bit contract. On the other hand, Garrett had the same opportunity to do the same with Gurode. Yet he let him go and we started that year with a rookie free agent in Costa. Bad move. Still this day we are paying for letting Gurode go. He may have been lazy or or what not. But for Garrett to not make a statement then, and to thinking he could get by with Costa that year. Shows how badly inexperience he is to make such calls. Thus there is a big, big difference with Parcells and Garrett. Heck, I wouldn't even place Garrett anywhere in Parcells league.
