Bill Parcells, Hardass
A lot of coaches have at least an unstated policy that players won't lose their starting position due to an injury.
And then there's Cowboys coach Bill Parcells:
"If you get hurt and someone goes in and plays better, you've lost your position," Parcells said "That's just the way it is."The days of Switzer/Gailey/Campo are over in Big D.
Thank goodness.
And just check out the people Parcells has brought in to "help" him around camp: Chuck Fairbanks (pictured right), Tom Coughlin, Ron Wolf (not to mention Dave Meggett and some other former players).
I don't think Switzer could have gotten a list like that to come in (though maybe Fairbanks, because of the OU connection). But maybe Charles Thompson could have come in and run drugs or something with Nate Newton, Erik Williams, Michael Irvin, and the rest of the gang. Woulda been like the late-80s Soooner football dorms!
