Well Parcells alleged recent statement that he "can only be happy coaching football" (or that general idea) is the same one he made when he came back the last time. I think he's simply saying the truth hasn't changed.
Doesn't it make some sense that Bill walked away in Dallas as much because they weren't winning at the level he knew would be required for continued support of his iron-fisted ways? He said it early upon his arrival and we've been reminded again of late.
And the growing discontent last year was visible wasn't it? Amongst certain players, the local press, certainly fans on this board, even Jerry's acknowledgement of the "walking on eggshells" somewhat speaks to it.
So its not far-fetched, to me, to think Parcells left Dallas because he knew his act had worn thin more than he was out of coaching gas.
We shall see. And while I certainly respect what he did here I do not fear his influence elsewhere if he should happen to return. Frankly, I like having high quality competition, provided we are a high quality team. Hopefully THAT piece continues.
