The Truth About Parcell's Departure

Aren't you a teenager?

nope im 21

at first i thought that BP resigning was a dignified way of Jerry firing him, but when i saw that Parcells is sticking around and helping Jerry our interviewing his possible replacements, I know that BP quit on his own. As far as his up and down expressions on the sidelines go, it just proves that he's become too soft and old and is not the same guy he once was. His ex players were calling him and telling him that thoughout the season and he realized that coaching had passed him by. He has said so himself that he will continue to work in NFL in some capacity, but at his age, coaching is no longer an option. No grassy knoll here. Just an old man retiring b/c he's worn out and has realized that he can't get it done anymore.

Don't make fun of this guy he is "special". My mother told me to never make fun of "special" people.

omg

Can I have the 5 minutes back that it took to read that.

I want my minutes back too!

 

[SupermanXx]

Because Jerry Jones, has repeadtly said he wants Bill Back, if he turned around and fired him, there wouldnt be a coach anywhere, that would trust Jerry Jones, and he would have screwed himself and the team over.

anything else?

.... is this even english???

you believe everything you hear little boy?

Pretty common knowledge that Jerry offered more money and more years for Tuna to stay.

I actually think giving a .500 coach a raise and an extension is dumb, but that is another story.

This has been reported by several media outlets and Tuna himself has said as much.

Sorry to burst your conspiracy bubble, but the other poster is correct. Tuna was just burned out and could not handle the job any more.

Parcells is still there, helping interview coaches, according to coaches being interviewed. But they hate each other and Jerry was going to have Parcells escorted of the premiss's. You don't see how ridicules this post is?

Its obvious that Jerry offered Bill an extension as a way of saying "screw you!!". But Bill has one-upped him by refusing to vacate his VR office and barging into coaching interviews even after being fired to "screw you back Jerry!!!"

The pissing match goes on and on...

The Truth About Parcell’s Departure

We will probably never get both sides of the story of Parcell’s departure from America’s Team, but I have a sneaking suspicion that as soon as Parcells gets an opportunity, he will give his side. He might have a book deal in place, or he might just be classless enough spew his side as soon as he gets off of a plane in New Jersey. I’ve been around for a long time and I’ve watched both Jerry Jones and Bill Parcells interact around the league. The following is how I loosly interpret the events leading up to Parcells departure.

The fact is that Parcells and Jerry were in a huge pissing match that culminated with Jerry telling Parcells that he was welcome to leave in a dignified manor instead of escorted. Does anyone remember watching the ups and downs of Parcell’s expressions this year on the sidelines and in the post game press conferences? I became aware of the pissing match when Jerry Jones revealed that he and Bill were not on the same page about sticking Romo in at QB. It was obvious that Bill did it to piss of Jerry and he would have had the first and last laugh if Romo would have done well in that first Giants game. Well, it didn’t happen. Romo threw an interception on his first pass and then led the Cowboys to a 21 point deficit. If you watched Bill’s press conference that night, he was sort of begging for his job and / or thinking that he was about to be fired.

We might never know what went on behind the scenes, but we know that Jerry didn’t have Parcells escorted out of Texas Stadium that night. Then Romo began playing well against bad teams and Parcells was in Jerry’s face all the time. He appeared rejuvenated. He thought he had the last laugh.

Does anyone remember the day they cut Mike Vanderjact? I remember thinking that was fairly sudden for a veteran kicker that Jerry spent a lot of money on. At the time they didn’t even have a back up on the roster. In addition, Parcells gave more chances to no name kickers the year before, why cut Vandy that suddenly? There is a huge chance that this was a screw you to Jerry from Billy Boy. Well, for TO’s sake, he is lucky that Romo tanked the rest of the season or he would have been the next screw you. Bill liked picking the players; he wasn’t going to be told who he was going to start. This ultimately led to his demise as Romo continued to suck at the game of football. When the Saints kicked Romo’s *** on national television, Parcells knew it was over. He would be gone at the end of the season. He knew that Romo wouldn’t make it far in the playoffs, but he still had an outside shot. The irony is that his dignity now depended on the fumble prone hands of that Monday night screw you he delievered to Jerry Jones on national TV. When Romo put an exclamation behind Bill’s bad QB decision that night in Seattle, bill was done for sure. If he stayed in Dallas, he would forever be linked to his failed decisions. He didn’t get the last laugh.

Although I’m sure that Jerry Jones would have wanted it the other way on this outcome, Jerry always get the last laugh.

Bill, every time you watch a Cowboys game for the rest of you life, I want you to remember that feeling as Jerry told you that you wouldn’t be back. Also, you owe me a superbowl.

ive been saying the same thing. he offered parcells to retire rather than the embarrasment of getting fired. think about it, its not that far fetched

And there you have it.

That was so stupid that is nothing that can even be said.

If he was I'm sorry. If not it was stupid.

Apology accepted.

Perhaps you missed the .

But with a premise as stupid as what started this thread, and then people sincerely defending it, admittedly it gets a little difficult to discern sarcasm from stupidity.

Sorry, I'm on my first cup of Joe here. You are right but theres nothing else going on.

What amazes me is that the lead story this entire week has been the Cowboys head coaching search when the Super Bowl is just around the corner. It's crazy how much attention we demand.

When it comes to Jones and coaching moves it's bigger than Comic Relieve.
Every one is snickering, waiting to burst out laughing.

 

[HTownCowboysFan]

This is BS. If thos sort of "screw you" p*ssing match was taking place between Bill and Jerry, then why the hell is The Tuna interviewing HC candidates at VR?!

 

[03EBZ06]

Sadly, some people will believe trash like that and spew it as if it was the truth.
