Why can’t Norv Turner do what Parells did in Dallas, but just in the other direction? Follow me for a second here…
Parcells had come into Dallas with a winning mark everywhere else he had been. So when he first came here, all of Cowboy nation was assuming he’d build a solid winner here to (provided he and Jerry got along, which they did). Well, Parcells’ winning-streak ended with Dallas and a burn-out retirement. While Parcells contributed to some improvements, the winning around here was very un-Parcells like, and we still have most of the same position needs we had when Parcells first arrived. The thing is this; we thought that would NOT be the case based on Parcells past, but we were wrong
Now in comes Norv Turner (supposedly), and those who don’t want him here, don’t want him because they are unimpressed by what he did as a head coach before. But what if we are wrong again? What if Turner comes in proves to make Dallas a winner, by ending his previous streak, just like Parcells but only in reverse? If Parcells winning streak can end, why can’t Turner’s begin? And why are many so Parcells apologists willing to excuse Parcells for his losing - like many in the GROX crowd blaming the woes on Zimmer – but won’t do the same for Norv?
I personally think that Norv is a great coach and if given the right talent – which is the scouting department’s responsibility, along with Jerry Jones’ – Norv can win big here in Big-D. I just don’t think he really has had the great talent at other clubs where he’s head-coached. And please don’t throw names at me because many of those players were good on paper, but much of their careers have shown that their papers never made it onto the field. So in closing I’ll say this. Norv has done well with great talent before and we are on the fringe of getting great talent here. We already have a top flight QB, CB, WR and DE, so we’re not that far away. So I say to you this: If Norv Turner becomes our next head coach, please given him the chance because he deserves it; he has won before and can do it here again.
