I gotta think he's just sick of the BS that goes along with coaching nowadays. Specifically TO.

Im sure there were other reasons, but I gotta believe TO was a part of it.

It'll be interesting to see who takes over in Dallas.

Can't blame him. It's a circus in big D.

[RavensNTerps]

Please don't let Rex Ryan go down there.

You just KNOW that there'll be rumors about how they are trying to talk to Cowher...

[PurpleRulz]

They will want a high profile guy down there. I doubt they'd be interested in Rex.

[Bez513]

Good move on his part. Jerry Jones is a bad owner for the fact he brought that cancer (TO) to Dallas.

[PurpleRulz]

Could they want Dennis Green?

[mavhimself]

parcells has had more retirements than frank sinatra, terry funk and sugar ray leonard it seems but you gotta think he's done here right? also, i don't see rex getting that job, jerry jones likes the big names as was mentioned before. you think he tries to take a stab at cowher?

[highwater]

Cowher has actually still got a year left on his contract with the Steelers, so if they hired Cowher they'd have to compensate Pittsburgh. I doubt that Jones would be willing to give up a high draft pick for Chin.

Then again, he does seem to like the high profile guys, so who knows?

I do find this story somewhat surprising. I wonder what happened.

The Cowboys experiment is tarnishing his legacy, from my perspective. A couple more years of mediocrity - which is what I think awaits him down there - and people might begin to forget he's a genius.

He's in a similar situation to JO, in a way. They've both worked really hard and secured their legacies and their fortunes. Why kill yourself for another year in the game, if not to win?

I bet Jones waits to see what happens in SD before pulling the trigger on a new coach.

[AA-Raven]

Bob Stoops name has already come up as a candidate on NFL Network, but Wade Phillips name has circled around for a while now, supposely Jones likes Phillips alot.......

on to Parcells, for some reason, I still think in a yr or 2 he'll be back somewhere, jmo though

[sailorsam]

Parcell's mo since leaving the Giants has been to go to NE / Jets / Cowboys for a few years, take a year off, then resurface.
JJ might definitely consider Cowher; this is the kind of headline-grabbing move he loves. he'd probably offer the chin double the $ the Squealers offered.
Parcells might conceivably end up in DC next year if Gibbs leaves, but I don't think he'd tolerate Snyder for more than a year or two.

[purplepoe]

They did not pay Williams all that $ to be the highest paid assistant and not to be Gibbs successor. Zero chance he is in DC. He may take the GM job in NY

Snyder doesn't care about money.

If Parcells is out there and Snyder wants him, he'll clean house and pay him. That being said, I don't think Parcells is up for dealing with another owner with an ego the size of Snyder's.

And the GM in NY has been filled.

I'm really sorry to see this. looks like TO brought down another NFL Coach.



:jester: :jester:

[Beerracuda]

I somehow don't think Parcells will be back again, at least not as a HC. Take a look at the man this past season. He looks like he's aged about 10 years in just this season alone.

Personally, I think he's had enough. He MAY come back as a GM though.

According to this link, check out Jerry Jones's targets:

1. Bill Belichick
2. Bill Cowher
3. Lovie Smith
4. Ron Rivera

"He looks like he's aged about 10 years in just this season alone."

I think we'd all look like something the cat dragged in if we had to deal with T.O. :rolling:
