Parcells
New Dallas Cowboys Coach Bill Parcells
Bill Parcells was introduced as the new coach of the Dallas Cowboys today.
I listened to the thing on a stream from Dallas's Ticket and saw a bit of it on ESPN before they cut away. Parcells was, of course, on his best behavior, although the trademark sneer really wanted to come out a few times when all of the journalists were shouting questions at the same time (which clearly annoys the Tuna). It's all happy happy, we're gonna win, we're gonna be great partners.
And maybe three straight 11-loss seasons have convinced Jerry Jones that it better be that way.
I hope so.
It's the best development surrounding the Cowboys since Jerry forced out Jimmy Johnson. It also means that doofus Bruce Coslet is going to be sent back into retirement with a good swift Parcells boot in the ass, along with his terrible offensive line coach and probably most of the rest of the current staff.
And I imagine people like Troy Hambrick and Antonio Bryant will stop running their mouths and concentrate on being better football players. At least they better, because when Parcells is on the field, his mouth is the only one that gets to run. Journeymen players who have a problem with that tend to wind up on waivers.
Yep, I do think good changes are coming to Valley Ranch. It's about time.
(01-03-2003) The best sportswriter in Texas agrees that the happy-happy act Bill Parcells put on will eventually be replaced by the real Parcells. It will have to be, of course, if the mess in Dallas is going to be straightened out.
