From the nerve center of Cowboy thought and analysis in Farmers Branch where a dollar goes a long way, the men wash their vehicles ever Saturday and our women are always wantin' to meet men.
Men, yes, another Parcells post.
It's my firm belief that most of his critics here could and would be patient with him. However . . .
. . . his hardheadedness, questionable coaching in the playoff, failure to rally his team in the last month of the season and his inability to lead a talent-laden team, make him lame and expendable. And there is the respect issue. An undiciplined team that is the Cowboys (penalties and miscues) does not speak well of the coach. And he seems to like to devalue his players. Few pats on the back, as if they are something that is wrong.
His supporters are right that we should have patience. That is only right, in most cases. But in this case, Parcells is not deserving, IMO, of a longer stay.
Parcells fails to get it: It is not that Parcells is a legend, it's that the Dallas Cowboys are the Rolls Royce of footballdom.

He should coach like he is in awe of the Dallas franchise, not the other way around. And I think Jerry now has a harder and more pragmatic view of his savior BP.
Whether you big lugs debate it or not (and you will), the discussions should be framed on this:
Does Parcells deserve to wear the star as coach of the most glamorous team on the planet?
(And do I believe Parcells will be back? Yes. Unfortunately, yes. And if so and the dye has been cast, then shame on both BP and Jerra for milking this of all its drama.)
(Cue in the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" here) Parcells, remember where you work and who you work for and be proud of it. Toss us a bone. Be just as proud of coaching Dallas as you are to be a former Giant and Jet, forchistsakes.
His truth is marching on.
