Jean-Jacques Taylor, of the Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants head coach Bill Parcells to return to the team Jones said he has spent little time pondering whether Parcells will fulfill the fourth year of a contract that pays him about $4.25 million per season. "I would hope the first three years that Bill has been here are the start - I emphasize and underline that," Jones said Friday afternoon, Dec. 30, in his office, where his desk faces the club's five Super Bowl trophies. "I think it has been successful." When asked if this was going to be his last coaching job, Parcells said, "Yeah." After the season, Jones said whenever he meets with Parcells to discuss 2006; he doesn't expect a long conversation. Jones said his feelings about the season won't change if Dallas makes the playoffs or not.
