A couple of thoughts...Pardee was placed in a mission impossible situation in DC. On the one hand he had a long history of team leadership both with the Rams and us (which I think led the owners to beleive he would be a good coach). Then, as has been posted here, he was the ultimate good 'ol boy, especially to his former teammates. They would have given their lives for him, but they didn't have the energy in their old bones to do it. He went on to become a far better coach later.He became a far better coach when he ditched his conservative ways and adopted the Run and Shoot. Having Warren Moon as QB certainly helped. I looked up Pardee's coaching record and the stats bear this out: an average passing ranking in the 20's with the Bears and Skins, and a number 1 passing yardage ranking his 1st three years in Houston, where finished there with a .581 winning percentage:
