Cool Did Parcells fail?

The Know Your Dallas Cowboys Blog thinks he did.

Quote:
(1) Parcells was not hired to make the team more talented than it was prior to his arrival. The team that he compiled is certainly better than the one that he inherited, but then again, Parcells certainly was not hampered by past decisions when he joined the Cowboys. The same could not be said of Dave Campo, who had to deal with the fact that Jerry traded away to first round picks for Joey Galloway and that the Cowboys were in salary cap hell. That Parcells was only four wins better than Campo was when he did not have the same restraints speaks volumes of what Parcells failed to accomplish here.

(2) Parcells also left us with more holes than we realized. .

(3) Defensively, we have six players who were first-round picks (Newman, Williams, Carpenter, Ware, Spears, and Ellis) and two players who were paid like first-rounders (Henry and Ferguson). Yet we are left to think that we might have a pretty good defense.

(4) Parcells seemed to spend more time trying to temper Romo’s ego than he did in building him into a solid starter. When Romo struggled, Parcells’ response was something like, “Now you’re seeing the errors I saw.” That wasn’t comforting.

Re: Did Parcells fail?

He should have stuck around one more year and finish what he started...they are better off...but I don't see them a contender jsut yet.
