just when you think he's got things together...

Didn't Parcells say that if it was up to him they wouldn't have signed TO? I recall him saying something to that effect when the Cowboys signed him.

I don't think many non-cowboy fans are missing Irvin much. He never gave you any insight that an average football fan couldn't have told you. His goal was just to be louder than everybody else and yell 'da u'! (admittedly that's par for the course with most studio shows)

He was more entertaining, and actually his analysis was not that bad. People don't give him credit because all they heard was him being loud a few times per show. Also the team of Berman, Young, Irvin and Jackson is way better and had way better chemistry than Berman, Key, Ditka and Jackson.

Yes you are correct Sir. I do think Bill P did a good job turning this team around yes he did. All I am saying is if he stayed no way they would have 12 wins 9 at best more like 8.

i don't think anybody's arguing that phillips hasn't done a better job with this group. but parcells the administrator played a large role in your team, even if parcells the coach wasn't equal to the task.

I don't think TO was calling out Parcells the GM. He was calling out Parcells the coach, and rightly so.

Phillips, no HOF coach, simply allowed the coaching staff to open up the offense, and then implemented his SD attack defense instead of that passive POS defense Tuna had been running since he got here.
