DMN Blog: Parcell's Last Staff Meeting

Staff meeting

Bill Parcells apparently delivered the news that he wouldn't be returning to the Cowboys during a short staff meeting this morning. It's a shame he couldn't have delivered that news last week, when teams inquired about the availability of several assistant coaches still on staff. Now, those coaches have to wonder if the new head coach will retain them because there aren't many jobs available at this point in the off-season.

Meeting details
Bill Parcells met with his assistant coaches at a scheduled staff meeting this morning that lasted 2-3 minutes. Parcells told them matter-of-factly, "Mentally and physically, I don't have the energy anymore. That's it fellas. I'll be here all week. If I can help you, I will."

If he really wanted to help his assistants, he would've given them permission to take jobs with different teams last week because he couldn't guarantee them that he would return. Since he didn't, nearly all of them missed out on getting jobs with other teams. You have to love that kind of loyalty.
