I can already see Jerry Jones thinking about...

gosteelers

what it will take to get Bill Cowher in a year or two. Bill, if you come back, please, please don't go there! I can see Jones making an offer, though. With their new stadium coming up, it would be a perfect fit for the Cowboys, I think. If Holmgren is making $8 million a year, I think it's going to take at least that for Cowher to come out of 'retirement', probably more. I don't know if Cowher would work under Jones, though. Thoughts?

If Jones can deal with Parcells he can probably get along with Cowher. I'm not sure it is a good fit, just a gut feeling.

A number of teams are going to have his number on speed dial waiting for the right moment to call.
He will be in high demand when he is ready to go back to coaching.

...his next face lift perhaps?

I think he should go and Parcells stay

How about Jimmy Johnson coming back to the Cowboys? Wouldn't surprise me.

This is something I have hoped for since he left. Under his direction, he turned a down and out franchise into something special again. Jerry Jones had nothing to do with it besides hiring Jimmy. Thats why the Cowboys have sucked since. Jerry sure doesnt know squat about finding talent or coaching.

Ol'e Jerry got a surprise when the team turned to crap. He found out exactly what Jimmy meant to the organization.

The superbowl Switzer won was still Jimmy's team.

I dont want cowher. I rather have jimmy back also. parcells should be done this year. he does not have the same drive he used to.

I only think he took the job bc his exwife took like 17 million and one of his houses in the divorce!

lawnmowerman

Yeah, I forgot to add, Im not impressed or sold on Cowher coming to Texas.

I'd rather not see Johnson back - I think that could be dangerous again to the other teams. Jones is hungry for a winner again, and Johnson looks bored as chit on those Fox broadcasts. Granted they don't have a Herschel Walker to trade again for all those draft picks, but I still don't want to see Jones and Johnson together again. Keep Bill Parcells and TO there for a longtime - please!

Parcells is a shadow of the great coach he once was and should be advised to walk away at the end of this season. It's been a nearly decade now since he's even won a playoff game.

You would be lucky to have him. He would bring much needed class to the Cowboys.

No I wouldnt. I dont think he is that good of a coach.

So now that he left Pitt are they suddenly classless?

The only one I would say that does not have class on the Cowboys is TO.

It seems you are judging the organization based on one player.

Heard an interview with Jimmy Johnson today on WFAN and they asked him about coaching again

He basically said why should i give up a good gig that pays him very well with FOX and allows him to fish on his boat down in Florida all the time to come back to coaching

Also the rumor earlier in the year was that there might be mutual interest in Jeff Fisher and the Cowboys

The funny thing is was that those rumors came out right before the Titans went on that nice winning streak so i doubt Fisher would leave that team now

jeff fisher is a good coach.. wouldnt mind him

I'd rather have the stability in coaches that Pittsburgh had the last 37 years. 2 coaches in 37 years. Darren Woodson was on ESPN News and he mentioned that he played for FIVE coaches in 13 years with the Cowboys. I just don't think that continuously changing coaches gets you anywhere as a team.

No I wouldnt. I dont think he is that good of a coach.

I think 32 NFL team owners would disagree with you on that one.

The Cowboys had class before Jerry Jones came to town. He's pretty much 'whored' up the organization between the player signings, the elitest attitude (the NIKE banners all over the place, exclusive agreements that went in the face of the NFL), and his handling of his coaches. It was time for Landry to go, but Jones handled the situation very poorly. His ego came into play with Jimmy Johnson, forcing him out of there.

Not one, many. I'll go back a little bit. Michael Irvin, Nate Newton, Erik Williams, bringing in his buddy Switzer who was a terrible coach, Owens, the signing of Vanderjagt when nobody else wanted him. I'm sure there's more...

...and the Steelers organization never did anything wrong and their players all had class. A wee bit biased dont ya think?

gosteelers

Oh, I know I'm biased. That's what is great about being a fan...

But, there's a reason Dallas is the most hated NFL team, I'm not the only person.

I agree with you on Jerry. I dont like what he is about.

Maybe he and To can take the same bus out of town.

I wouldnt miss either of them

The Eagles have never won a thing either. Ya get what you pay for, right? TO, Kearse, McNabb were sure paid plenty....But I guess with those "investments" it's no wonder the owners aren't into paying big money. Can't wait for the Giants against the Igglets on Sunday!

Maybe Jerry should read this. Especially the end of the second paragraph.

Clint Murchison
Founder/Chairman of the Board
1959-1984

In 1954 a former MIT runningback turned Dallas millionare tried to buy the NFL San Francisco 49ers and move them to Dallas. When the deal fell dead he inquired about the Wasington Redskins and the Chicago Cardinals to no avail. In 1959 the NFL decided to add two new franchises to the league and Clint Murchison Jr. was ready. On January 28, 1960 the NFL awarded a franchise to a group of Dallas investors including Murchison and his brother, John D. for $600,000.

Murchison had already hired Tex Schramm as his General Manager and they immediately went after NY Giants Defensive Coordinator Tom Landry to be the team's first head coach. His hands off attitude was simple, "hire the best possible people you can find to run your business, then step back and let them run it. And unless you have evidence they aren't getting the job done, you leave them alone."

In 1964 he gave Landry an unprecedented 10-year contract, which paid off as the Cowboys became one of the most successfull franchises in sports. Murchison saw his Cowboys go to five Superbowls and win 2 NFL Championships.

His failing health caused him to sell the team in the spring of 1984. The $80 million price tag was the largest ever paid for a sports team at the time. He died on March 30, 1987 at the age of sixty-three.

<<< The Eagles have never won a thing either >>>

What an ignorant comment this is. Two seasons ago the Eagles came within 4 points of winning the Super Bowl against the best team so far in this decade. The Eagles starting tight end got injured right at the end of the NFC Championship game. Otherwise, there is no doubt in my mind the Eagles win that Super Bowl with Chad Lewis in the lineup.

So smarten up - "technically" on the average each team will only win a Super Bowl once every 32 years, since there are 32 teams in the league - can you figure that one out? It ain't easy to do. Winning the NFC Championship game is not winning nothing - that only happens on the average once every 16 years - you'll figure that one out. Oh and by the way...after the Eagles- Giants game on Sunday...you won't be seeing the Giants playing anymore this season.

Come on now, you KNOW as a Giants fan(who also witnessed the "dead in the water" Eagles tear off a great streak to end the season) that I'm going to try and rile you guys up! So your explaination about the Eagles "would've" won because of ALL people, Chad Lewis? Come on, with the 3-4 and the personell that the Pats had that year not only at the roving lb/de position Chad Lewis would've done a whole lotta nothing. You know what Steve, they didn't win. I can't wait for this game, and I hope the Giants rush it ATLEAST 40 times. Atleast. Tiki isn't one to be stopped and neither is Jacobs.

Well it's no sense rehashing old Super Bowls with the playoffs right here to be discussed so I'll leave it at that. And you're right, the Eagles didn't win that Super Bowl, but my main point was that for anyone to state that the Eagles "never won a thing" when the Eagles won the NFC championship just two seasons ago, and have dominated the NFC East for a number of years now, really a comment like that simply isn't factually correct.

Hey, as you may know I am not a Giants basher and I have a lot of respect for that franchise - I always have. Of course for sixty minutes during the game I "hate" any team playing my Eagles.
