Reaganaut Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 You ought to be comforted. No team Parcells has left has done well immediately. Hmmm. I stand corrected. Perhaps I am blowing him up further than he need be. I hope this project is the one that he screws up royally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Dollar Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Short term: Parcells Long term: Spurrier Depends what you want. You want stability and a chance to win a title you go with SOS You want quick success and then a bail out, you go with the Tuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 depends on what Parcells does in the long run I think. If he coaches 2 years but then bails that would rock for us.....however, if he sticks around the Dallas front office, that would blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles_Legendz Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 And people called me a homer for thinking Philly is going to kill Atlanta? 45-23 in favor of Spurrier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 He's got a point, guys. Spurrier over PARCELLS?!?!?!?! Are you kidding???? I wouldn't take LOMBARDI over Parcells... not even Gibbs (though he would be #2) Comparing a college guy to perhaps the best ever does a disservice to both parties. Debate Spurrier or Reid. Leave Percells, and his Super BowlS alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 There comes a time a coach can lose his grip, like a player losing a step. The last few teams he went to have progressed less and at a slower rate-perhaps this will be the one nothing gets done his way for him, or maybey his way isn't what it used to be. As far as Gibbs over Parcell - you gotta be crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomar Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I'm a Skins fan, but if I had to pick a guy, right now I'd cast my lot with Spurrier. I think Parcells is a bloated imitation of a once great coach who won't have Belickeck to lean on. Part of it may be emotional on my part, Parcells is the Deion of coaches as far as I'm concerned. Patriots to the Jets? Giants to the Cowboys? The epitome of the mercenary coach, bottom line is he has only brought a ring home for one of the three teams he has coached, and that was when he was young and hungry. I just don't respect him, I don't think he can do it without Belicheck and I think/hope/pray he will be exposed in Dallas. A Hall of Fame coach, but thats the past, for tomorrow, I'll cast my lot with Spurrier, I think he is hungrier. And I'm a Redskins fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially because Tuna's offense is so frickin' LAME. It's almost as bad as MartyBall was in DC. And, let's not forget, that Parcells only won the SuperBowl BEFORE free-agency. Even then, he only went to two. Gibbs went to four. If Norv Turner could beat him twice (NE and the Jets), Spurrier certainly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can compare him to Fassel or Reid, but Parcells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
