Video: Jimmy Johnson - Unfortunately Romo has regressed

[SC Cowboyfan]

Impossible. If 12 years of futility hasn't dented Jerry's GM ego then nothing ever will.

He did hire Parcells........

 

[Mash]

Im sorry but Parcells team wasnt anymore disciplined then this team.....we were just as sloppy.

Bill Parcells was a .500 coach here and his drive to be a coach died...he was looking for a mangement job......To say he would of lead us to the SB is like saying Joe Gibbs could of lead this team the SB......we can all speculate...hindsight is a great thing eh?

I could just hear the roar.....when Parcells comes out and calls a player a "she".....or "the player" .....to this specific team.....Imagine if Bill pegged Romo a nickname? Phil Simms admired Bill but hated him too.....and Im sorry to say but seeing how Romo needs to be protected and babied to succeed...(it seems thats what the media thinks)......would it be safe to say Romo would fold like a cheap suit under Parcells now?

 

[Beast_from_East]

Let the excuses begin......

I know we dont have the best coaches.....but....

The players have to be accountable........we didnt see the coaches ruin Romo against Tampa......all we heard was.....Tony doesnt need TO....

Have the coaches ruined Ware, Newman....Spencer.....RW?......etc?

Can we just say.....the Players have to play better? Romo has to be more accurate....its hogwash to think those overthrown....underthrown...misreads are all because Romo has been asked to reduce his turnovers.

Newman failed to make a pass breakup......Spencer failed to pick off the pass.....Ware and others are just a step too slow....Romo has missed some easy passes....WR's are failing to beat there man.......etc.....etc....etc...

The were all in position to make a play......they failed to make it...and thats all on the players.

For anybody that thinks coaching doesnt matter, just look at SF.

Singletary took over a team that has nearly an identical roster as the previous coach and it is like night and day. So yes, players do have to be held accountable, but to say coaching doesnt have a significant influence is just wrong.

If it is all on the players, then somebody please explain how SF was a trainwreck of a team and found ways to lose games every freaking week (sound familiar???) or they were just blown out and a new coach comes in and turns them into one of the best teams in the NFC with virtually the same freaking roster???

 

[AMERICAS_FAN]

Didn't Parcells also say something to the effect of "after I leave you won't even know I was here."

Sorry, but Barbie Carpenter's presence is a constant reminder that Parcells was once here. Skyler Green's absense is a constant reminder that Parcells was once here. I can post more, but then my reply would become so long that no one would read it.

Im not saying coaching isnt a big part......Didnt Wade have more wins his first year then Parcells did in his last? Do we automatically think Wade was the better coach because he had more win with basically the same team?

Singletary has done a hell of a job in SF.....but he hasnt won squat yet....has he? Its like saying Jeff Fisher is a terrible coach now because his team hasnt won any games this year but the previous year he won 12?

I honestly dont think this team has been out coached......If the players made plays this year like they are supposed to ....and expected too....this team could easily be 4-0 ....

I guess its all about our opinions.....I mean we could all say that TO dropped so many balls was because he had bad coaching....

I understand we could of called different plays or maybe prepared this team a little better then it has......but the games we lost this year imho....isnt because of that....we lost these close games because of some bad decisions and bad execution by players.....and when your playing good teams like that....we need our players to make those plays.....they were there to make....they failed to execute..

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Stop talking sense, Mash. Don't you know you're supposed to join the mob and repeat everything they say?

 

[dbair1967]

I think that had Parcells stayed here 2007 would have been a Super Bowl year.

I think they'd have been 9-7 just like any other Parcells team.

He was done, it was time for him to go. He didnt have that "edge" any longer. People talk about this staff getting outcoached, but Parcells' teams were outcoached badly a bunch too, including that joke of a playoff loss to Seattle. That game shouldnt have even been close with the secondary Seattle trotted out there.

 

[tunahelper]

What are the Romo apologists gonna say now?

That pass to Glenn was a horrible call but besides that we were just outplayed. Even on that last defensive stand, if we could of just held them we could of won that game.



But that's beyond the point. PArcells tried to change the culture in Dallas and He brought some much needed talent along the way. A couple years later without PArcells and We have lost the culture He tried to build. That fast this team has gone from having leadership and accountabilty thrown out the window. It's no surprise Parcells left...Forget about getting Older and wanting to walk away, He probably knew He did all he could for this team and that was that.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I just looked it up, and anyone know what our records were in our first four games when Parcells was here?

2003: 3-1
2004: 2-2
2005: 2-2
2006: 2-2

And I'd bet those 2 losses each year weren't all to unbeaten teams, either.

So why are we panicking about 2-2, again?

I agree, it is odd for people to panic at this point.

However, Not a bad starting record for Ole Parcells with Carter, Vinny and Bledsoe as the quarterback.

Key word is offense... problems on offense, of which Wade, as everyone admits, has no control over...

And Parcells had no input on those being his QBs, true.

But from reading this board, you'd think we were worse off with Romo than we would be with Vinny or Bledsoe anyway.

 

[dfense]

So has Jimmy.

 

[CF74]

yep, he told laufenberg that. It was about a sentence after this was my toughest job I have ever had, emphasizing that the environment was tough to coach in and instill the right mindset.

I dont know if that is a shot at the front running fan base that declare superbowl after every TD, or the media that does the exact same thing, or the new me first ways of today's nfl players or Having Jerry around you all the time and having to let him know what you are doing and getting him on board with stuff.

I dont know. All I know is He isnt here anymore, and it is obvious from every aspect. I hope we can find someone just like him in about 3 months, But I am not holding my breath.

It's an indictment against the way Jerry coddles the players. Here we had the disciplinarian type coach trying to right the ship and the players would run behind his back and manipulate Jerry. The whole TO thing was proof enough. Parcel's didn't want the guy, Jerry brought him in anyways. It was destined for failure just like now with staypuft. There's no respect, no accountability, and very little leadership.

It's like a parent trying to discipline their children and the kids run to the grandparents and get away with murder. The parents (Coaches) fold because they are afraid of upsetting the grandparents (Jerry Jones) and losing their inheritance (Jobs,) so the kids (Players) continue to get spoiled and end up being bums (Underachievers.) Wasted talent...

 

[Big Country]

Coaches like him don't come around often. I just wish we could have had a younger version of him.

We might have had... but he is now the coach in SF

 

[Dodger12]

Key word is offense... problems on offense, of which Wade, as everyone admits, has no control over...

Any time someone has "Headcoach" as their title, he has control over it. If Wade didn't want to be the HC, then he should have stayed a DC; it comes with the territory.

And before we continue to excuse Wade, JG was hired before he was. If he had a question about who was accountable for what, then he should have asked before being hired. And if Wade had no control over JG and he still took the job, then what does that say about Wade and what example does it give to the rest of the team when the HC is not in control of what happens on the field and held accountable for the overall effort and results of the team?

Also, first it was Brian Stewart and now it's JG. At what point do we lay this at the feet of the HEADCOACH, as opposed to another scapegoat. Very, very lame.

 

[Clove]

I don't understand why people keep wanting us to find a has been coach, instead of looking for the next great young stud coordinator.

 

[DallasEast]

Jimmy Johnson provided the observation and Terry Bradshaw gave the explanation. Good video.
