[quote=cpayne5;271552]Al Saunders as a replacement, anyone? Then have Russ Grimm step in for him here.

Saunders is the type of guy I think Jones would covet out there. Especially with who they've got in place on offense already.[/quote]


Certainly possible. I thought the same thing. It would be a good way to bring Grimm back into the fold and let Al leave on good terms.

Al Saunders can coach, I'll leave it right there.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

Saunders can run an offense... but how good of a head coach is he? That's the million dollar question. I really don't think he has the personality to be an effective head coach.

If in 2007 our O is bad then I'll say your right but look at Gibbs first year in 04 and Gibbs and Co. added to the problems with a very short training camp. I don't think thing will be as slack as last year.

I think if Saunders left, we'd definitely see more of what we saw over the second half that made Betts so effective.

That being said, while I think Saunders is a candidate and a good offensive coach, I'm not 100% sold, as Matty pointed out, how good a head coach he would be. Could he be a good coach, probably so.

Would he be a playoff caliber coach, don't know?

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

I was rather suprised to see Parcells step down and leave the team he built for someone else to coach. I'm convinced his decision to leave had more to do with TO than anything else.

I don't think Jones is that dumb to let Parcells go over TO. Now if he feels that Parcells is not getting the job done then thats a different story.

I think it was more of a question of how much control Jones will give Parcells. It just came to a head on the TO issue.

You're right. Parcells, Jones, nor T.O. won't ever admit that, but I think that's the case.

But more than T.O. as an individual, I think Parcells has been turned off, in part by the media and their need to always have news or a story to report. Training camps around the NFL have turned into mini dramas that almost appear to be driven by TV ratings. Also I think he's just flat out tired of the culture in today's NFL where individuals command more attention than the team. Parcells never said that, but I think he's tired of doing other things besides 'coaching'.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

maybe parcell's just got tired of the whole damned jerry jones/TO
zoo?if i had to stay around a couple of a$$holes like that most of the time,i'd quit too!

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

maybe his cankles were just tired from lugging all that weight around all day long...

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

That's great news for us, I'm glad B.P. is gone. Hopefully this sets the Cowboys back a couple of years.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

I dont see how this is considered that good of news,what has Parcell done? they might get a coach that will be better than Parcells
If your a cowboy fan would you want gibbs to retire? 2 bad seasons,overpriced freeagent signings not working out,no gm,etc,if i'm cowboy fan I'm thinking let Joe keep running it,well,thats the way I feel about Parcells

A couple of early names being tossed around as Parcells' successor; Norv Turner and Wade Phillips.

LOL

My vote is for Wade Phillips. I wish him the same amount of success with the 'Boys as he had with the Giants.

Well, the best of the weak field of coaches looking for jobs this offseason are already hired...except Jim Mora.

Maybe they should interview James Lofton. :D

Seahawks hired Jim Mora

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

Dennis Green isn't a terrible choice, actually. He's not a bad coach. Also, he's handled ego-centric WR's before fairly effectively.

Dallas Sucks.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

Its a sad day in the traveled story of the NFC East. So many great games against the Giants back in the day. I'm glad he's gone from the Cowboys, but as a coach he was good. He made New England, not Belichick.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

when I heard norv was a candidate, I couldn't believe it. But then I thought about it, JJ might've really liked him when he was there. You would think that the word on norv is good o-coordinator but not head coach.
Norv has worked for the other 2 most meddlesome owners - The Danny & Al Davis. Working for Jones would give him the trifecta!
It would also make for good theater, which JJ seems to thrive on. I would be happy if Norv coached there, but I don't want to jinx us - it may be that the 3rd time's a charm. (norv's only had 2 heach coach jobs right?)

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

Could you imagine if Norv was hired. He'd be the only guy in history to be able to say he was a head coach under Dan Snyder, Al Davis, and Jerry Jones. He could write a book about that.

I'm a little peeved that Parcells had to make this announcement today. This day should have been about the Colts and Bears. Peyton, Dungy, Lovie. But instead it's been all about Parcells. He could have waited another day in my opinion.

Interesting though that he said "retiring from coaching" To me that says he's definitely coming back as a GM or team president somewhere. I'll throw out one possibility-Tampa Bay,

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

To be honest. I don't think this is great news at all. There are a lot of high quality coaches out there who could have the Cowboys winning year in and year out. They have a team with solid players on there to inherit. But, if this coming season turns out to be a stinker for both New York and Dallas, this might be our best chance at winning the division.

The Colts and Bears have 2 weeks to hype their matchup. Today is a good day, since it is day 1 of 14 until we reach the SB. Maybe he could have waited until after the SB, but better than announcing it yesterday or even a say or two before Championship Sunday.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires
 

Well I wasn't even thinking so much of hyping their upcoming matchup. More so celebrating their big wins.

So how soon until someone starts a Parcells to succeed Gibbs rumor?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing today, the announcement kinda stole the Bears and Colts thunder. Damn that Pats-Colts game was great.
