The Rant

Well, a new era in Dallas begins...
We can all be VERY thankful that it will NOT include zimmer, so our very talented defense can once again play up to its potential!

Who are the top 3 possible coaches to take over?

Anyone?

I wish it were 2008 and we could go after Cower.  Maybe Jerry has enough pull to get Stoops to leave OU...

Good luck Tuna....thanks for the past few years. Thanks for improving our's beloved Cowboys.

How about Wade Phillip for defensive coordinator?

leaving coaching??
not leaving football

jerry should offer him the gm position

d on't get me wrong...i loves me some jerry

but this is bill

okay.......
bum phillips
james dungy
dat nygun

I'm bettin Stoops is #1...i think we need an offensive mind..we should bring in our ex Garrett as the OC...hopefully we don't go with that idiot from Carolina, i never saw him run an offense i liked...AND PLEASE NO CHAN GAILEY! thank you.

"Who are the top 3 possible coaches to take over? "

Wouldn't the better question be "Where will Parcells coach next?"

Woo Hoo the jerk retires!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this isnt one of those be careful what you wish for moments for Dallas fans

Wade Phillips does make sense...Great 3-4 guy who could take our vast defensive talent into a big time winner!

btw thank god Mora just took a job!! wheww

I think the only reason Parcells is retiring is b/c a certain *** is still on the team and Jerry said he wants him back.  It is a damn shame.  This team cannot move forward until TO is gone.

Somebody better wake Spagnola.  Once again the "insider" missed all the signs that were obvious to everyone else.  Keep up the good work, Mick!

Wade Phillips?  You have to be kidding.

Bring back Jimmie!

STEVE MARIUCHI would be a GREAT fit as the new coach! He can bring in the "West Coast" offence which would be a great fit for ROMO. He knows how to handle T.O. and is young and HUNGRY. My only question would be who would he bring in for D-coordinator? By the by like him or not, Tuna did FIX a-lot on this team...I wish him well.

Jerk retires?  Parcells has this team moving in the right direction for the first time since Jimmie left.  Ton of talent accumulated but one locker room cancer to rid of...

one word

chan gaily


half a word
that mush mouth coach dil... i mean coach joe



seriously
norv turner

Norm Chow deserves a good look.

Yep, I wish Tuna well too.
I want a young hungry coach, with something to prove...

I like Jimmy, but IMHO he is past his prime and a "fat cat" now.

mariuchi?!?!? you kidding me?! he's garbage!! what about Ron Rivera?

norv turner

bear bryant

jimmie johnson

james dungy

bum phillips

george "macaca" allen

Thank God!  Maybe all that time at the office was him and Jerry discussing how the 'leader' was quick to lay the blame everywhere but take no responsibility for the failures.  My personal thought, Jerry already knows who the next head coach is going to be, but let Bill play until everything was tidied up.  Reason for the others leaving without a fight, they knew also who's coming and had already been told, 'Thanks, but no thanks for your offer to stay.'  Hey 'NotATunaFan', the obvious is pretty much invisible to the idiot Mick, however, I wonder if he also knows but is just doing his job covering up.

rich kotite

What about Ron Rivera?  The defensive coordinator from Chicago???  That defense made the Saints look silly this weekend.

Matthew McConaughey

denzel washington

al pacino

I agree, no Mariuchi.

They will be limited as to who wants to coach this team b/c of TO.  Can't bring in a young guy first-time head coach b/c of TO.  Can't bring in a stickler b/c of TO.  Who would want to come into a situation where one player has to be constantly pampered and babied and censored for his own good?

Can't talk to Rivera till after the SB or a big fine gets mailed.

Let's give Danny White a chance to redeem himself within Cowboys'family.  If him then I truly think Bob Stoops (Oklahoma) or Chris Peterson (Boise State).

And how in the he!! did msnbc break this news before dallascowboys.com?????

JWT -

I'm just trying to remember the last time Mick got/gave the early scoop.  I sure would like to come to this site and get some insight that is credible.

I dunno who should get the job but I DO KNOW it will be a Jerry Puppet -- strings attached at contract signing for big money to keep his mouth shut.

mick spagnola is teflon

Parcells wanted something and Jerry refused.  Parcells quit.  I think this is ONCE AGAIN a battle of egos that Jerry wins by default.

I don't think the earlier reports of Jimmy Sexton working on an extension was wrong.  I just think they hit a snag and it blew up.

Gil Brandt also thinks Texas's own Wade Phillips could be the choice.

sad to see the tuna go he did great things for this team i love all the players that he brought in best wish tuna.

Well here we go again T.O already being blame for running Parcells out of football...We need to listen to what Parcells said..I really dont think Bill Parcells would let one player running him out of the game.

how long till we great a press con. from the tuna

Gil Brandt also thinks Texas's own Wade Phillips could be the choice.

the only thing tuna did well was run a successful 2 man backfield, and build a decent line with 80 y/o mantle guard...running a 3-4 exposed roy williams because it forced him to play more coverage..Zimmer was not the best with the 3-4 and will flourish in ATL..Tuna hurt us, hopefully the next guy can bring in some balance.

Danny White understands how to utilize a two back system which features a quality halfback & undersized fullback like Tony Dorsett & Ron Springs (I.e. Julius Jones & Marion Barber).  I haven't seen any team utilize the double screen like the Cowboys of the late 70's & 80's.

I understand that he is getting older, but I feel as though he has given up on the Cowboys because of this season.  Oh well, lets see if we can find a coach that maybe fits the stereotype of what Jerry Jones wants.  Who Could that be?  Too bad.  We had a shot for the next season.  Way to go Bill.  Loser.

Thanks Bill what few decent coach's there where are gone give it to one of the assistants then make a run at Cowhere next year

Ron Rivera
Russ Grimm
Danny White
Mack Brown

No Mariucci!  No wade Phillips!  and please
please no mike martz!

quick question...what does anyone think about Lane Kiffin or Steve Sarkisian?

How about Jim Mora Jr.?  I actually think he makes a decent head coach, I think he would be a good fit, some young blood at Head Coach might be just what we need.

Well ding dong the witch is dead, yeah he improved the talent level, but he wasn't going to do anything with it.  We need to bring in someone who is capable of raising the level of play of your team and use the talent you have effectively.  Parcell's wasn't the man to do it.  Unfortunately, I think we're going to be stuck with MeO who is going to hamper developing any team chemistry w/ his antics, hopefully we'll cut him but I douby old Double JJ and Jr. will do what's best for the "TEAM".  We'll see what happens, however it turns out we can't do much worse since it's been 10 years since we've won a playoff game.  Good bye Manboobs, have fun at your next stop, you are what your record says you are.

The Tuna is finally gone and here comes Bill Cowher

Well, ESPN added nothing so far.  Repeat what we already know.

I hear that Wade Phillps is the top candidate for the job

Heh, Coaching Suggestions
Terry Bradshaw    Shannon Sharpe
Howie Long        Troy Aikman
Pete Carroll      
Mack Brown

WOW, I can't tell you how shocked I am!! Truly!  I know a lot of people wanted to see him go but I really believe as I read above that they were trying to reach an agreement and that they just couldn't get it worked out.  I kinda had a feeling that it may blow up because the report was that the final details were being worked out unless this "blows up".. which to me means there was a sticking point or two...

sucks considering 1/2 of the staff left too!!  With Bill leaving like this he just leaves so much open, so much for granted that after 4 years of training younger players now they'll be lost for another year or two...

Why did he wait for so long?  This is just like Parcells to leave everyone in the lurch.  
So many questions now need to be answered.  What happens to the likes of Romo, TO, Glenn, Julius Jones, etc.

I love the off season so much happens... :-)

americas team idol


a coaching reality show

punted off the island

Wade Phillips?

Well at least we keep the 3-4 and not burn it all down to satisfy some dumb fans.

Martz, let's think about this, 2 good receiving TE's, 3 good receivers with a couple in training and good receivers coming out of the backfield, and a young, scrambling, passing QB??  Let's think about it, that might not be so bad.  But we still need to have a little "O" line help.  Put up a stud "O" line with the above parts and it could get interesting real fast.  How about grabbing Asante Samuels, if he's available?  That would do wonders for the defense.

Careful what you wish for for those who wanted Parcells gone.  This team is on the right track for the first time in 10 years.  Let's see if someone has the brains to take what was started and go forward with it instead of Switzer/Gailey/Campo it up.

"The Tuna is finally gone and here comes Bill Cowher"

Oh stop teasing like that... LOL

Well, my 1st day here, and I hate to see Tuna leave town, but he is not the same coach he used to be, he is tired.

But Wade Phillips? maybe as a Def Coord, but not HC, He did not fair to well as one before...

Maybe Cowher? I didnt like him in Pitt, but he is a good coach.. Probably the only coach out there that could deal with TO...

All I can say is that We are looking better than we have in a long time, Good Luck Bill, thanks for the memories in Dallas...

For the idiots who think Cawher is coming this year, the Steelers still technically have him under contract and their asking price to talk to him is 2 #1's.

Cripe, Cowher.  Can't spell.

Damn, I feel like going and celebrating,first that dipstick belicheck is out of the playoffs and now the big tuna jerk is history.galloway outta be buying all the cuervo up tonight on espn.the top 5 choices:1.bob stoops a proven winner,2.lovie smith:a texas boy who grew up idolizing the comboys 3.ron rivera 4.bill cowher throw some money his way. dan reeves

I know that's what now worries me.  A lot of people got their wish, now where are they with the answers?

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!! He's gone.

Though I wanted him back 4 / 1 more yr.
Mainly 2 get Bill Cowher in time 4 the
2008 season.

However, I say its been 15 days and some
34 other coach hirings tooooooooooo late.
Thanks again Billy Parcelly 4 driving The
Dallas Cowboys fans 2 yet another dead end.

If any1 in The Dallas front office reads the
posts on The Dallas Cowboys web site, please
remind him, he was a worthless as Dave Campo,
and Chan Gaily.

I'm kinda glad tuna is leaving too, but I think we should get rid of TO as well.  I think he will be an hinderance getting a qualified coach!! If we get a defensive minded head coach (gregg Williams) and a good west coast style coordinator, we will be on point!!! We all see that defenses win championships, and Chicago proved my point well.  All grossman had to do was not loose the game and they would've won!! Personally I think we should trade TO for Randy Moss...I know it sounds crazy, but TO needs to learn what will happen when you are on a team that doesn't care about winning and a owner that will ruin his career (marcus Allen) before he give in to his demands.  yes Randy Moss is a handful, but he still is unstopable and put him in a good offense and its curtains!!

with the way the defense played the last 6 wks of season what makes you think parcells had a clue what he was doing.

Cowher isn't going anywhere, and not because of the asking price.  He want's to take a year or two off to recharge.  Worked so hard to get his ring and then go through this past season, he just wants to take some time off and recharge.  Much as I hate to say this, KC probably grabs him next year, unless there is a dramatic turn around there.

ALL COWBOYS
ALL THE TIME

BP is leaving!  JJ must have someone already in mind.  Let the new head coach speculation begin!

no tuna hater please he is the man and made my team much better i love what he did for use i love the press con i listen to every for 4 years he is the best football mind other the my man madden i love the tuna thank for the hard work

There are several options out there but not sure who would be a good one.
Charlie Weiss
Urban Myer
Bob Stoops
Pete Carrol
Wade Phillips
Rob Ryan
Ron Rivera
Bill Cowher
Mike Martz
DC from Baltimore?
Who else??

Get off the Bob Stoops wagon, too.  He's a college coach.  Let me repeat that, COLLEGE coach.  He's admittedly at his best with 18 to 22 year olds.  

i take mike martz and a hell of a 3-4 guy dc

Novacath, do you have inside knowledge on the creditials of Danny White?  Everyone thinks that these has been Pro coaches or these inexperienced college coaches are the answer.  They very well may be the answer, but I would like to bring in someone with an fresh offense mind, that has played in the NFL.  Don't get me wrong I love the thought of Bob Stoops or Chris Petereson, but I believe the answer to the future lies in the past.  Tom Landry was the "Master" and Danny White was one of his disciples.  Danny white took the Arizona Rattlers to a couple of titles, coaching against some ex-professional coaches.  IF YOU KNOW THE GAME, THEN YOU CAN COACH!!!

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!! He's gone.

He did it to NE
He did it to both NY teams
What made anyone think he wouldn't do it to us?
He's mental, loves attention but his way isn't working so well anymore.  I hated to see him leave too but it had to end sometime and with Bill it's always bloody.  He doesn't know any other way.  

I said Pete Carroll

I agree with no Bob Stoops (two words: Barry Switzer)

NORM CHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My thoughts on who ought to be looked at:
Ron Rivera
Russ Grimm
Pete Carroll
Tommy Tuberville

I would say Lovie Smith but Chicago isn't going to let him get away win or lose now, just don't see it.  Cowher is out till next year at the earliest, I think he really wants to R&R for a year then come back. Unfortunately, Parcells strung us out long enough that some good candidates already grabbed some jobs. I just don't want to see a tired old retread being brought in to play coffee fetcher for JJ and Jr.

Charlie Weiss


bill stays as gm


so long jerry ...just keep signing the checks

Notta chance Cowher comes here...He is off for a year...

we do not want JIM MORA. I can not beleave he waited so long. There are so many openings in the nfl.  The good coaches are going fast..

i take mike martz and a hell of a 3-4 guy dc
Monday, January 22, 2007 11:42 AM by illyal55

I'd second that if Martz didn't himself have health problems too, which he does.  

We've all watched Jerry for too long.. we all know what he was up to and Bill didn't bite.. he wanted one more year and wouldn't be shocked at all if he were already talking to Cowher... EVENTHOUGH that would be techincally tampering...LOL

I like charlie weiss as well and BP as GM.

Parcells didn't bring in all this talent only to retire before his plans could come to fruition.My hunch is that something is terribly wrong in cowboyland. The first clue is when the assistants started leaving. I thnk there are big time conflicts between Jerry and the coaches.

good thing parcells waited so long so that we could lose 3 very quality coaches... for all those people who think mike zimmer leaving is a good thing, just watch what happens in atlanta.  

It wasn't Parcells defense.  If you listened to Ed Werner you'd know that he stated Zimmer was visibly confused and didn't know how to fix the defense.  How is that Parcells fault?  A good defensive co-ordinator could do the job.  Remember, he even let Zimmer run the 4-3 some against Detroit.  Yeah, keep blaming Parcells.  A lot of you will be awful quiet when Jones bring in a dud and we're 6-10.

Again all, Rivera is off the table until AFTER the SB.  You can't talk to any coach or staff involved in the playoffs until they play their last game.

mike singletary and mike martz

have M&M Connection lol

I agree with no Bob Stoops (two words: Barry Switzer)
Monday, January 22, 2007 11:43 AM by Cboys4life

bad news for everyone... it's been said that Jones has already called his ole buddy Switzer...
You guys don't think that Jones didn't see this coming .. really, did you?  He has a back up plan.. the man didn't become a billionaire by being an idiot.

Weiss can't afford to leave ND

FINALLY!!!  SOMEONE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!!  The problem is Jerry "Can't Keep My Hands Off" Jones.  Let the players play, let the coaches coach, let the GM's bring in the talent, and let the owners sign the checks.  Jerry is a fan who knows enough football to be dangerous.  I wouldn't let him draft my fantasy team, though.

Of course your going to have to wait 2 weeks for Rivera but at this point unless you have the perfect person in mind you might as well wait and see.  Parcells strung this out so long no point in rushing to hire someone just to hire them.

houston nutt ??

arkansas connection


mike zimmer as head coach

SWITZER   NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

hOUSTON NUTT WOULD BE HORRIBLE

weiss ? can't afford ??

meet jerry jones

FINALLY!!!  SOMEONE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!!

by wildshot36

Who would that be?

Houston Nutt would fall right in line w/ Dave Campo, a guy that would be in over his head, he puts together good squads at Arky about once every 5 years, not a good formula for winning in the NFL.  Plus he's a bit goofy if you ask me.

Jubes, he'd be great for the "D", but what do we know of his offensive philosophy?

if we move roy williams to coach that would solve our safety  problem

Deion Sanders said he'd like to coach last night on NFL Channel...

What about bringing Swizter back for one year, then going after Cowhler?  

Not sure guys we'll have to keep our ears to the ground and see what we hear.

Jones, wouldn't have gone with this game [bp and jj game] unless he had something else in mind.  Trust me....

oh joy another few years of 5-11 yeah...there is really no coach out there ready to take on T.O.  I just hope there is not another Campo type coach on the horizion

Thunder, I just don't see Jerry mailing ND a check reported to be in the amount of $10 million, and then giving Weiss $2+million a year.  I know he has beaucoup bucks, but that's a pretty steep price.

What about bringing Swizter back for one year, then going after Cowhler?  
Monday, January 22, 2007 11:51 AM by neckbone5

I think we may have a winner here!  LOL  It may not be Switzer but it'll be someone... JJ will go after Cowher... He can't help himself..LOL

Jones will give Cowher about 8 to 10 million reasons a year to coach this team.

swizter is a joke

mchapman7, I agree that there is no coach ready for T.O.  I'm afraid it's back to 5-11 for a few years.

Jerry should just hire himself, that's what he really has been wanting to do for 13 years.  That way we can kill him of this idea that he is some brilliant football mind and get him to hire a GM that knows something about running a team.  Instead we'll get some yes man who'll keep us mired in mediocrity for another 10 years!!!  Time will tell.

i dont think cowher will coach here

dion sanders?  lol

No Cowher this year, JJ learned his lesson about giving up 2 first round picks on Galloway.  Just don't see that happening again.  I heard that the 'real' reason for the plastic surgery was to correct the scars from getting burned by that!!

I will accept houston but no wildcat formation

I dont know

I think it's a FRESH and EXCITING time back at
The Ranch. Now that they've  "Kissed and Made- up",it's time to get our "SWAGGER" back and bring back......JIMMY JOHNSON!!!!!!

I dont know

might as well have campo back if you going to accept houston

Aww Peyton come back we're ready now

Houston would be a horrible choice, he'd probably love the job to get out from under Broyles and the freefall his team in going to take in the next year or so.  If your going to go the college route there are much better choices out there.

Still in shock

jimmy johnson wont coach here either in fact we will never have a great coach because of jerry jones ego

Love him or hate him, JJ owns the team.  And, much we scleps have to do, you have to play nice with the boss, or else the door meets the backside crease!!

college routes...bob stoops but i dont think he will leave OU

mucho, what could he ask for that JJ wouldn't give him?  He didn't have much bargaining power.  He hasn't done anything in Dallas.

Good Ridence Bill !!! Had enough of the bad play calling anyways....one thing I thought was that he was not a quiter, but I guess he showed me !!!

College coaches who would be better then Nutt:
Bob Stoops
Pete Carroll
Tommy Tuberville
Chris Petersen (don't think he's ready yet)
Kirk Frentz

dennis green is available  lol  joking

pete carroll will never leave USC

how about *** labouu of something like that

So we say goodbye to the parcells project, i have to say i will miss his allure on the sidelines and in the press conferences. i also regret the decision to let a true offensive talent like peyton go to N.O. but hind site is allways 20/20 and tommorrow will bring a new day and by the end of the month we all will pay are taxes. Another thing im sure of is the Jones Family will have "Our" best interests in mind, By that i of coarse mean the cowboys as a contender  in 07,. so the search continues who will deal with a raw talent that this Dallas Squad has? Who will deal with the egos and icons? Maybe Adam Shefter will have something on his blackberry before the superbowl. I leave saying Thanks for the good and the bad Coach Parcells, good luck and good health.

Cboys4life,

I am sure he asked Jerry for an extension till Jan, 2009 and I am sure he asked Jerry to flush a few players that Jerry loved.

Jerry loves his FA and draft picks.  Any coach who calls out Jerry's stupid picks is not welcome.

I suspect TO and Roy Williams are two of them.

If there was a fallout, much as I hate to say it, TO was PART, not all, of the problem.  JJ realizes though, dropped passes or not, he's a good one to have around.  An off year and he's
