First, he realizes this is his last best chance to establish his legacy as one of the greats - which he is. leaving now on a sour note would forever diminish his legacy. this team is close - very close - and Parcells knows that better than anyone. we were 8-4 before the meltdown, and if we had started the season with Romo, 9-3 or even 10-2 is a possibility. would you walk away from that and leave the rebuilding job unfinished...?
Second, he is under contract and apparently has Jerry's blessing to return if that is his wish. give him one more year to find/groom his replacement and then we can have a smooth transition to the next HC.
Third, he has brought in a lot of talented players. if Parcells walks now, there's no saying how this offseason will go. his connections around the league are very valuable as well. he deserves one more go at it. and besides, who else can we trust to hold TO's leash?
None of this is to say he doesn't have his faults. if he does walk away, i won't be tearing my hair out or gnashing my teeth - we'll just move on. but the top of the mountain is at least visible from where we are - more than i can say about any of those 5-11 seasons of wither we suffered thru before he arrived.
Let Bill proclaim this next season will be his last, let him have one last trip to the supermarket, and see if he can't cook up a winner one more time...
