The major thing that concerns me is this; is Jones taking over the team again? He's put who he wants in as OC and will probably do the same with the DC. At least Parcells got to put who he wanted or keep who he wanted (Zimmer).
I think Dale Hansen, a man I don't have a lot of love for, made a very pointed and true comment on his radio show this evening. He said if you take what Jerry Jones has done as the GM of the Cowboys, take out that he brought Jimmy Johnson and Parcells in, and take away the influence of his pocketbook, no NFL team in their right mind would hire him as their GM.
IOW's Hansen doesn't think Jones is much of a GM. He said as far as running the Cowboys from a business standpoint (promotions, public relations, blahblahblah) that he's a genius, but the football side of it..................... <_<

I think the cowboys will be 11-5 next year or better. Wade Phillups has done well at almost every stop. The cowboys look like they have a talented young team. Phillups was the best guy for the job....if experience was the factor. Hopefully he can continue to build the defense like he did in SD. LB edwards from SD is also rumored to be a guy on the move.Looks like another 8-8 or 9-7 ish for 07.

T.O. HAS GOOD TALK WITH PHILLIPS
ESPN.com news services
Terrell Owens is on board with the new Wade Phillips regime in Dallas, telling The Dallas Morning News that he's "looking forward" to his first season with the Cowboys' new coach.
Owens
In its Sunday editions, The Dallas Morning News reported that Owens called Phillips after the new Cowboys coach was introduced.
"I told him it meant a lot to me," Phillips told The Morning News. "It was a good talk."
Owens told the newspaper that he has heard good things about Phillips' coaching style.
"He's a players' coach, and he's been there before. I guess from an offensive standpoint Wade is a kind of guy who wants to get his playmakers the ball," Owens told the newspaper.
Owens, coming off an 85-reception, 1,180-yard season in which he caught 13 touchdown passes, told The Morning News that he's looking forward to working with Jason Garrett, who reportedly is the odds-on favorite to be named Dallas' new offensive coordinator.
"He brings a lot to the table," Owens told the newspaper. "It's good to work with offensive-minded guys. For them, it's like playing a video game. You draw a play and want everybody to execute. It's going to be exciting."

Cowboys hire coaches for wide receivers, tight ends
BY MAC ENGEL
Star-Telegram Staff Writer
IRVING – The Cowboys hired Ray Sherman as wide receivers coach and John Garrett to coach tight ends Wednesday.
Sherman replaces Todd Haley, who left to become offensive coordinator with Arizona.
Sherman, 55, spent the past two seasons as the Tennessee Titans wide receivers coach. He has coached in the NFL since 1988 for seven teams and was also an offensive coordinator with Minnesota (1999), Pittsburgh (1998) and the New York Jets (1994).
He helped groom receivers Javon Walker, Donald Driver and Robert Ferguson into Pro Bowl players while with Green Bay and worked with Randy Moss in Minnesota. In Dallas, Sherman will work directly with controversial receiver Terrell Owens, who sometimes clashed with Haley.
Garrett, the brother of offensive assistant Jason Garrett, spent the past three seasons at the University of Virginia coaching wide receivers and took over as the assistant head coach for the offense last season.
Garrett was a pro personnel assistant for Tampa Bay (1992-94) before getting into coaching.
He joined the Cincinnati Bengals in 1995 as an offensive assistant and wide receivers coach –- a position he held until 1998. Garrett was with the Arizona Cardinals staff in 1999-2000 as the quarterbacks coach before returning to the Bengals as a tight ends coach (2001-02) and a scout (2003).
University of Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst interviewed with the Cowboys on Wednesday. His role, if hired, will likely be as quarterbacks coach. However, Chryst's status is unknown.
A third job candidate, Oakland running backs coach Skip Peete, was scheduled to arrive in Dallas on Wednesday night and interview with the Cowboys on Thursday.

New coaches added to family
By MAC ENGEL
Star-Telegram Staff Writer
IRVING - Since the Cowboys' front office is loaded with family, it makes sense the coaching staff would follow suit.
The Cowboys hired Baylor quarterbacks coach Wes Phillips, the son of new Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, on Tuesday. Wes, in a move expected since Wade's hiring, will be an offensive assistant in charge of quality control.
The team also reached to its on-the-field family and hired former Cowboys and Texas A&M linebacker Dat Nguyen. Nguyen will take over as inside linebackers coach, the spot vacated by the departing Vincent Brown, and will be in charge of defensive quality control.
Also expected to be hired is Titans receivers coach Ray Sherman, who told Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher he is leaving. Sherman might join the Cowboys as an assistant head coach.
If Sherman is hired, he would be another veteran to assist offensive assistant Jason Garrett in his development as a coach and will likely take away some of offensive line coach Tony Sparano's responsibilities for play-calling.
Keeping with the all-in-the-family theme, sources said the Cowboys will bring in Garrett's brother, John, for an interview today. He is the assistant head coach for offense and wide receivers at the University of Virginia.
Sources also said those expected at Valley Ranch for interviews today are Raiders running backs coach Skip Peete and Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst.
Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said he hopes the rest of the staff will be completed this week.
The Cowboys considered adding Nguyen the past couple of weeks; he was forced to retire from the Cowboys after the 2005 season because of a neck injury.
Jones said negotiations were ongoing with current members of the staff about possible "promotions." One possibility is secondary coach Todd Bowles being promoted to defensive coordinator.
The Cowboys had expressed interest in talking to Chargers secondary coach Brian Stewart, but were denied. With the Chargers scrambling to keep coaches after firing head coach Marty Schottenheimer on Monday, they might continue to deny any such requests until a new head coach is named.

Cowboys name Garrett O-coordinator, promote SparanoESPN.com news services
IRVING, Texas -- Jason Garrett finally has a title with the Dallas Cowboys nearly a month after being hired to the coaching staff. And it's not a surprise.
Garrett was named the offensive coordinator Tuesday for new coach Wade Phillips, who also elevated Tony Sparano to assistant head coach with a contract extension through 2009, as first reported by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hired the 40-year-old Garrett to the coaching staff Jan. 25 after interviewing him for the head coaching vacancy. It had been expected since then that Garrett would be the offensive coordinator, even though his only coaching experience was the last two seasons as quarterbacks coach in Miami.
"We believe that Jason is one of the bright young offensive minds in the NFL," Phillips said. "He has extensive experience in working with some outstanding offensive coaches through his years of professional football, and he is well prepared for this position."
Garrett was the backup to Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman for two Super Bowl titles in Dallas from 1993-99. He later played four seasons with the New York Giants before splitting 2004 between Tampa Bay and Miami. He played in 40 regular season games, and his only nine starts came with the Cowboys.
Sparano, the offensive line coach, shared in play-calling duties for coach Bill Parcells' staff last season. Sparano will continue to coach the offensive line, along with his promotion.
"Tony's past performance with the organization and the respect that he has from our players made this an easy decision," Phillips said. "His contract commitment will provide stability for our staff for a long time, and that was also an important factor in this decision."
The Cowboys scored 425 points (26.6 per game) and averaged 361 total yards per game last season. It was their most productive offense since 1995, when they won the last of their five Super Bowl titles.

Cowboys release Drew Bledsoe
No big shocker here. I guess the real question will be can he handle life as a backup now and will he consider Dallas for that position? Or will he just retire? Or will somebody actually hire him on as a starter?

Parcells rejoins ESPN as football studio analyst
ESPN.com news services
BRISTOL, Conn. -- Bill Parcells is out of coaching, but not out of football -- and he's rejoining ESPN as a studio analyst.
Parcells, who retired in January as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, is returning to ESPN as part of the "Monday Night Countdown" crew that will precede "Monday Night Football" telecasts.
Parcells worked as a studio analyst on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown in 2002 after spending part of the previous season as a guest analyst. He left when Dallas owner Jerry Jones coaxed him out of retirement to coach the Cowboys.
Parcells, 65, stepped down after four seasons in Dallas, a coaching career that ended in Seattle when quarterback Tony Romo dropped a snap on what might have been a game-winning field goal in a wild-card playoff game.
Overall, he had 19 seasons as an NFL head coach, winning two Super Bowls with the New York Giants. He also took New England to the title game after the 1996 season, becoming one of five coaches to take two different franchises to that game.
In 19 seasons with the Giants, Patriots, New York Jets and Cowboys, Parcells posted a 172-130-1 overall record, including an 11-8 playoff mark. His teams made the playoffs 10 times and won 10 or more games nine times.
"The reason I'm back at ESPN is because of the strong relationships I built there both on the set and behind the scenes," Parcells said in a statement issued by the network.
"I will get the opportunity to work with many of those same people again and I am looking forward to picking up where I left off. Viewers can look forward to hearing a coach's insight on what's happening in the league and I'm excited about lending that kind of perspective."
In addition to the Monday night show, Parcells will also appear on other programs, contribute weekly columns to ESPN.com and co-host a radio show with Chris Mortensen on Friday evenings.
