ShulaSteakhouse Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Was a bit suprised by this. Maybe it'll calm down some of the ridiculous ESPN obsession with Dallas now. Although the overrated golden boy Romo and TO are still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlainThePain Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16754109/ Cowboys' Parcells retires from coachingLegendary leader never led Dallas to Super Bowl in four seasonsUpdated: 10 minutes agoIRVING, Texas - Bill Parcells retired from coaching Monday, leaving the Dallas Cowboys after four seasons and ending a stellar career that featured three Super Bowl appearances and two championships.The announcement came 15 days after the Cowboys’ season ended with a heartbreaking playoff loss in Seattle. He’d been at his office nearly every day since, and there were other indications that the 65-year-old coach was returning for a fifth year in Dallas and 20th as an NFL head coach.“I am retiring from coaching football,” Parcells said in a statement. “I want to thank Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones for their tremendous support over the last four years. Also, the players, my coaching staff and others in the support group who have done so much to help. Dallas is a great city and the Cowboys are an integral part of it. I am hopeful that they are able to go forward from here.”The announcement came in a morning e-mail. There was no immediate statement from Jones, the team owner, although one was planned for later in the day. There were no immediate plans for a news conference.“I am in good health and feel lucky to have been able to coach in the NFL for an extended period of time,” Parcells said. “I leave the game and the NFL with nothing but good feelings and gratitude to all the players, coaches and other people that have assisted me in that regard. “Parcells won two Super Bowls with the Giants. He came to Dallas four seasons ago energized by the challenge of restoring glory to “America’s Team.” He went 34-32 and definitely left the Cowboys better than he found them, but his tenure ultimately may be remembered for the lack of a playoff victory.

BengalszoneBilly Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Who wants to bet T.O. helped this happen. He probably said he'd rather bag it now than have to deal with Mr. "It's All About Me" Owens another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacD BengalFan Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 And now the question is who would want the job knowing T.O. is still on the roster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjakq27 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 It's funny how things play out. When Marvin was hired, a few around here speculated that he would succeed Parcells in Dallas when he stepped down after three or four years. I am not sure what that was based on but it was a popular opinion for awhile. I'll bet they wish that Sean Payton was still on the staff.
