BREAKING NEWS: Bill Parcells Retires

Al Saunders as a replacement, anyone? Then have Russ Grimm step in for him here.

Saunders is the type of guy I think Jones would covet out there. Especially with who they've got in place on offense already.


Certainly possible. I thought the same thing. It would be a good way to bring Grimm back into the fold and let Al leave on good terms.

Parcells' legacy with the Cowboys can be framed this way: Instead of joining Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer as coaches who led them to championships, he leaves lumped with Chan Gailey and Dave Campo.

that's the best quote in nfl history,and the damned funniest too!
anybody think mariucci would coach dallas with TO on the team?

but what offense would they run?the al saunders not hitting on shit in 2006 O,or the joe gibbs 2005 O that got us into round two of the nfc playoffs?

Al Saunders can coach, I'll leave it right there.

Saunders can run an offense... but how good of a head coach is he? That's the million dollar question. I really don't think he has the personality to be an effective head coach.

he is a good coach,but the better part of 2006,the skins looked like shit,but that was on both sides of the ball,and in the lockerroom too!i just wonder what type of offense the redskins would run if saunders did leave?

If in 2007 our O is bad then I'll say your right but look at Gibbs first year in 04 and Gibbs and Co. added to the problems with a very short training camp. I don't think thing will be as slack as last year.

I think if Saunders left, we'd definitely see more of what we saw over the second half that made Betts so effective.

That being said, while I think Saunders is a candidate and a good offensive coach, I'm not 100% sold, as Matty pointed out, how good a head coach he would be. Could he be a good coach, probably so.

Would he be a playoff caliber coach, don't know?

I was rather suprised to see Parcells step down and leave the team he built for someone else to coach. I'm convinced his decision to leave had more to do with TO than anything else.
