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. cool.gif

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!!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.
