Parcells and Cowboys reportedly agree

[IronMan4]

4 years, 18 million Chip Brown just said on ESPN Radio. Should be announced tomorrow.

Better in game coaching could have won 2 or 3 more games this season.

It'll be interesting to see how he deals with Jerry. Somebody is going to have to give up more control than he's used to.

Campo was a nice enough guy, but I don't think the players respected him.

I guess we'll see about Parcells.

Good thing they didn't go looking up north for DD.

GMG!!!

This should have been done three years ago. Campo had no business being a head coach.

You're right. And Jerry Jones has no business being an NFL owner.

[Eagle-96]

Deep,

I think that Jerry may finally be realizing that he CAN'T do it his way and win in the current NFL. Hopefully he will swallow his pride and give the reigns to Parcells. One problem is that Parcells will not be able to have Bill Belicheck(sp?) as his defensive coordinator, as he is already gainfully employed. The next few weeks could be VERY interesting.

GO Mean Green!!!!

Go Big Tuna!!!!

[CaraBear]

Yes things are going to get interesting....but I dont care as long as my boys start winning!!!

[IronMan4]

Jerry Jones has no business being an NFL owner.

He is a great owner, one of the best. He has no business being a general manager.

[Baby Arm!]

In 1989 Jones had about 140 million reasons to be an NFL owner......Still say he is the best OWNER in the leauge. However he is also the worst GM.

[GrayEagle]

I don't see how Jerry could be the best owner in the NFL. Isn't it the job of the owner to select and hire the General Manager?

He does have Dallas' best interest at heart, as long as it will make money. There is a fine line between and owner doing nothing and one that is too meddlesome. Mr. Jones crossed the line on day one bur he does have a right to protect his investment.

He soes do many things right. Let's hope that the hiring of Parcells is another one of his right moves.

I'm as big a Cowboy fan as there is I suppose. I entered and won a crazy contest to win NFC semi final tickets against Greenbay, and paid $200 a piece for two other tickets for the NFC championship game against the niners for the '03 season. But I wouldn't mind seeing them lose a couple of more seasons and then TCU hit a slump so that it leaves the Mean Green as the only winning up and coming program in football in the metroplex.

I'll sacrifice em all for the Mean Green.

Dave Campo is a GOOD coach who got no breaks at all. He was bitten in the ass by injuries, inexperience at skill positions, and an idiot offensive coordinator. He is not the real problem but he has to pay the price. Dave Campo will be a tremendous defensive coordinator for someone or maybe go back to the college ranks. Just a thought...would he work for Parcells and stay? That goes against everything I've ever been taught, but so does a lot of what Jones does. It could happen! If it does, remember that I brought it up first.

[IronMan4]

Campo said he would work for Parcells or Green in his press conference. If I were him, I would as you said, be a DC elsewhere or perhaps go to the college ranks. I would be thrilled if he stayed on as DC for the Cowboys, because there is no doubt how good he is at that.

[The AFLAC Duck]

As long as Jerry is the GM, I don't see the cowboys being any good.

He should have hired Green, because I see a huge ego clash happening with Parcells much like the Jimmy Johnson situation.

[IronMan4]

Parcells is in. He told Mortenson he agreed to terms today.

It sounds like he will have complete control of the roster and Jones agreed to stick owner stuff.

The Cowboys finally have a proven head coach/football guy to run things!

[BHud]

You're right. And Jerry Jones has no business being an NFL owner

Right.

He spends money, and he just brought in the most talented NFL coach available.

He is a bad owner why?

Now, if u had said, he's a great owner and a horrid GM, u would have been correct.

But the owner comment was horribly wrong. He may be hte best owner in the NFL.

[BHud]

Why Green? He couldn't win in Minny, why would he win here? Parcells is the best available man for the job, so give one reason not to hire the best man for the job?

[IronMan4]

The only reason Green was mentioned as a canidate was the ruckus being raised on the lack of minority coaches.

If you heard the press conference, Jerry talked at length about all the meetings and discussions he had to comply with the suggestions made in that area.
