Big Tuna Throws In the Towel

Bill Parcells says goodbye to a promising Cowboys team

There is no question whether Parcells is a good coach with the two Super Bowl rings, but why pack it in with such a promising squad


The Dallas Cowboys would be a dream job for most coaches, with a young Pro Bowl quarterback like Tony Romo to work with and develop, a Pro Bowl tight end in Jason Witten and a defense with a lot of promise, not to mention only a score away from the first a playoff victory since 1996. Then you have the down sides like pressure to win from an owner that roams the sidelines constantly, a big mouth receiver with tons of talent, but is never happy and always critizing someone in Terrell Owens or TO as he has been called. Pro and cons, with these pros and cons most would take the job, but not the Big Tuna, he said he is done and is retiring from coaching.

With the Hall of Fame in the near future for Parcells, his career was pretty solid. In the four years with Dallas he only had a record of 34-32 and no playoff wins, but for a 65 year old man I would say he did a nice job of turning a losing franchise into a contender. Like he feels lack of accomplishment wearing two Super Bowl rings from his New York Giant days. Bill Parcells will be sorely missed in the NFL and is probably one of the last of a dying breed of coaches that are not afraid to open their mouth or take crap from any player, he was coach that demanded respect and got it. The NFL need more like him with state of the NFL and it's out of control players. Farewell Big Tuna!
