The Parcells Show
Steve Casburn forwarded me this SI.com article by Jeffri Chadiha on Bill Parcells.
I don't know that things in Big D with Big Bill are all that dire.
I mean, things are always dire at Valley Ranch when the team is not competitive, and last year's team was not competitive. Hell, sometimes things are dire when the team IS competitive (see 1990s, Jimmuh and Jerruh). But in today's NFL, team fortunes can be turned around with one good year of drafting and free agency.
Still...
I'm not sold on Drew Bledsoe as the answer, but it's an upgrade over what they had last year (and I'm less sold on Drew Henson or Tony Romo). QB is only one of many problems Parcells must solve.
The fact that Chadiha writes that Butch Davis or Houston Nutt might be waiting in the wings ought to scare the hell out of every good Cowboys fan, though. We'll just have to hope he's wrong about that also.
Thank goodness college baseball season is upon us. Nothing like UH being in the middle of a three-game losing streak, with LSU on their way this weekend! Go Coogs! *sigh*

Gosh, who else in Texas has been saying exactly the same thing? Sorry I don't have an SI byline.
Seriously, do you believe me now when I say that Parcells is doing nothing but running a scam for all his old buddies? It's bullshit that Bledsoe is any better than Vinnie. Hell, he's worse.
I just wonder who's next. Ben Coates, maybe? How long is Phil Simms under contract to NBC?

Look, if the alternative is Houston Nutt, I'm gonna just stick my head in the sand and hope Parcells gets the thing turned around. Ya know?

Houston Nutt must have a hell of an agent since his name gets bandied about for job openings that are light-years out of his capabilities. I can call the Hogs with the best of them and think he's a great asset for the UofA ... but I don't think he can translate his modest success there to a higher profile program or the NFL.
