Parcells Documentary

[diefree666]

Greatest 8-8 coach we ever had. Also the fattest and a quitter. But don't let that stop you all from slobbering.

Any coach that somehow got a team to the playoffs with Q and Hambone in the backfield is a true genius. Sad that he just did not have the physical endurance that he needed in that last year. He was just burnt out. And any MORON that does not understand the meaning of burnt out is worthless and a REAL QUITTER.

He took the terrible Giants and turned them into champions.

Then he took the horrible Patriots and made them one of the top teams in the league.

Then he took the lowest of the lowly Jets and got them in the playoffs.

Then he took an embarrassingly bad Cowboys organization and got them to the playoffs in one season.

You have absolutely no understanding of football whatsoever.

Love him or hate him man was a Great coach hands down!!!!

Parcells cost us the playoff game against Seattle. Refusing to let Romo throw the ball when they were thin at cornerback. Got a guy loading trucks 2 weeks before the game. Not to mention making Romo hold the snaps for field goals. Only starting QB to have to do that.

 

[Hennessy_King]

He was 64 when he left and not in the best of health. His body gave out, not his spirit. He loved Romo, and still does, but he'd been through heart issues before, and I don't think he felt he had the physically ability to get through another season without paying a significant health price.

I'm not saying he disliked Romo. But he's been on the record saying that was his most heartbreaking loss in his career.

Romo had been the holder for the 2006 season and maybe the previous season too.
While they could of tried to find someone different, Romo had good consistency with the snaps up to that infamous snap. Why change what's working? Especially when the kickers we had sucked after Cundiff didn't pan out here.

Why do people say this about Romo holding the field goal snaps. It was his job in 04,05, and 06. He didn't start the season as the QB so that was his job. Maybe he should have changed it to someone else, but at that point romo did the job for 3 straight seasons with no incident.

34-30. Had he stuck around, maybe the team would be better, but he didn't. Changing to a 3-4 stalled things as well.

 

[Whyjerry]

As an owner, it's his team. Educate that.

That’s deep. Jerry loves your ilk

 

[SlammedZero]

I loved it! Was a great watch. It did feel a little rushed to me though. Parcells was a helluva coach and I enjoyed watching the Cowboys again when he was here.

One thing I noted was how he was shining about how Witten made weight like he had told him to. Parcells looked like a proud papa talking about it and then they tell him Witten actually cheated (which came to a surprise to me). I kind of felt like maybe that took some air out of his sails about the ascension of Witten. Sometimes things are better left unsaid.

I'm not saying he disliked Romo. But he's been on the record saying that was his most heartbreaking loss in his career.

He's also on record, numerous times, of saying Romo is a championship caliber quarterback. Still says that to this day.

Jerry failed this organization miserably, yet again, when Parcells left. He drafted nothing but skill guys, ignored the offensive and defensive lines, and hired Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett when he had Parcells understudy Mike Zimmer right in front of him.

You don't follow a guy like Parcells with a guy like Wade. That's asinine. You keep the culture intact.

No where near the hate you have for him.

Yeh I wish Zimmer was our coach. How we let him go is crazy. That is where me and parcells disagree is that Romo was a championship caliber QB.

maybe because when you become the starting QB you have enough on your plate to worry about and focus on. Like driving the team down the field at the end of the game and put them in a easy field goal shot of winning a game. But now he is the only QB in the league that now has to focus on taking the snap for the field goal. When every other team has a guy on the sidelines (including him b4 he became the starter) only job to focus on is taking that snap.

Starting QB become used to a game ball and then they use a different ball for field goals and home team picks the ones that are more slippery. .

Fine, but you can't deny what a pretty ball Romo threw and how accurate he could be with it. And you can't deny the level he reached as a student of the game. That's frankly indisputable.

They didn't win it, so you can always say he couldn't have. But your eyeballs didn't lie to you. He could really throw it with the best of them.

There is a reason no other NFL team used their starting QB to also handle the snaps. It was a massive error in judgment by Parcells. As soon as Romo became the starter those duties should of went elsewhere

Yes he could throw it with the best of them. He just wasn't a winner. His timing of mistakes was probably the unluckiest thing I have ever seen. But let's not derail the thread.

So you should make a quick change at a pretty crucial position during the season. After Romo went through 2 full seasons and the training camp of the 06 season as the holder. That makes zero sense to blame Parcells. Romo was not the starter when the 06 season started. You should just blame the player that could not do his job 1 time in an important game. Not what parcells. Not what time of day it was. Or if the ball was slippery. It was his JOB.

Yes, he made a few bad throws. ALL quarterbacks do, but most of them have a defense that can erase a good portion of those mistakes. Romo had to be virtually perfect every Sunday for a long time.

What would his career look like if he had Seattle's or Baltimore's defense most of those years?

 

[AbeBeta]

1. Parcells' press conferences were fantastic.

2. Parcells knows coaches. This board thought Zimmer was terrible and kept calling for his head his entire time here.

3. Parcells knows coaches II. Sean Payton, Todd Bowles, Tony Sparano, Todd Haley, Anthony Lynn. All on hit staffs here. Mike McIntyre was also
