Dallas Cowboy head coach "Big Bill" is going to take trip to the Scouting Combine
RANDY GALLOWAY
The NFL's meat market for college players opens today in Indianapolis, and apparently the scouting combine is considered of ultimate importance at Valley Ranch.
Even Big Bill is said to be coming out of self-imposed hibernation to make the trip.
For the record, Parcells skipped Indy in 2004, and the Cowboys ended up using valuable first day draft picks on such worthless items as Jacob Rogers and Stephen Peterman.
Continuing to connect the dots, Big Bill returned to the scouting combine last February, and that '05 draft class was very good, or borderline great.
There's also a case to be made that then-newly hired scouting director Jeff Ireland impacted last year's draft.
But since Jerry Jones gives Parcells full authority to "buy the groceries and cook the meal," then Bill gets the credit or the blame. See Rogers. See Peterman.
In the Not-Breaking-News Dept., the Cowboys desperately need another impact draft in two months.
Parcells, with his new contractual riches, must agree if he's showing up in Indy this week. This comes after he skipped an earlier important function for draft evaluation.
Big Bill sat on his wallet in Irving during the Senior Bowl workouts.
Was said to be too busy with coaching staff changes.
