IRVING -- Bill Parcells has agreed to a four-year contract that will pay him
roughly $4.5 million per season, and will be announced as the sixth coach of
the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, a source close to Jerry Jones and Parcells
said.
The announcement will culminate a coaching search by Jones that began with
two games left on the Cowboys' schedule in a meeting between Jones and
Parcells on Dec. 18 at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey.
The final details of the contract, including that Parcells will have total
control of hiring and firing of assistant coaches as well as a strong say in
personnel and draft matters, were concluded in a second meeting Friday on
Long Island, N.Y.
Parcells, who has walked away from previous coaching jobs that appeared
imminent, including Tampa Bay last year, was expected to fly into Dallas on
Tuesday for a press conference.Jones said Monday in a news conference to
announce Dave Campo's firing that he had no timetable to name Campo's
successor but added, "I hope it can happen quickly." Jones publicly
acknowledged having spoken to former Minnesota coach Denny Green about the
possibility of becoming the Cowboys' next coach. Jones said in talking to
Green, who is black, he was taking seriously a new rule among NFL owners to
interview at least one minority candidate when there is a head coaching
change.
Jones said his decision to fire Campo, who had three straight 5-11 seasons,
"was not about what Dave was unable to do" but instead about a "change in
philosophy." Jones said he was ready to hire a coach with previous NFL head
coaching experience. All of Jones' previous hires - Jimmy Johnson, Barry
Switzer, Chan Gailey and Campo - had no previous NFL coaching experience.
Parcells won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants, reached another with
the New England Patriots and took the New York Jets to an AFC championship
game.

Ho visto il countdown ESPN ieri sera e Mortensen ha fatto una smentita a cui
non credeva nemmeno lui. Poi ha detto che avrebbe dato altri particolari ma
Morfeo mi ha rapito.
Il Dallas Morning News da' la cosa per certa, e  di solito sono ben
informati.
"The Cowboys fired Dave Campo on Monday, paving the way for Jerry Jones to
hire Bill Parcells as the sixth coach in franchise history. Parcells has
agreed to a four-year contract that will pay him $16 million to $18 million.
Parcells is scheduled to arrive in Dallas on Thursday, according to several
sources. A news conference introducing him as head coach has not yet been
scheduled."
Sembra anche probabile che Dan Henning sia il nuovo OC.
"Mr. Parcells would like to hire Dan Henning to be offensive coordinator,
two
sources said. Mr. Henning is currently Carolina's offensive coordinator and
quarterbacks coach, but there has been speculation that the Panthers would
release him from his contract so that they could hire New York Giants
offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Sean Payton."
Quanto alla faccenda sui presunti diritti di TampaBay su Parcells, secondo
Mortensen l'NFL se n'e' gia' occupata e i Bucs avrebbero torto, in quanto il
precontratto col Tonno dell'anno scorso non fu in realta' mai depositato in
lega.
Per il QB del nuovo anno gia' si fanno speculazioni. Parcells pare orientato
a partire con un veterano titolare e un giovane come riserva, forse Chris
Simms da Texas, anche se non vale la prima scelta. Tra l'altro Dallas e
Arizona andranno al coin toss per determinarla (n.5 o n.6 overall).

Bill Parcells is scheduled to be formally introduced tomorrow
afternoon [Thursday, January 2nd] as the Dallas Cowboys'
new head coach, according to two sources. The 61-year-old
Parcells will be joining his fourth NFL team after agreeing to
a four-year contract worth an estimated $18 million.
Meanwhile, a hearing will be held at the NFL's New York offices
tomorrow to determine whether the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are
entitled to any draft-choice compensation as a result of Parcells'
talks with the Cowboys.
The Bucs contend that Parcells signed a four-year contract last
January to coach Tampa Bay, and that they should be entitled to
compensation.
However, two sources familiar with the situation said the Bucs
will not receive any compensation because the deal Parcells
signed was not forwarded to the league office and therefore
was never approved by commissioner Paul Tagliabue.
Parcells declined to comment yesterday, but he has repeatedly
told Newsday during the last several days that his interest in the
Dallas job is serious. He compared working for America's Team
to working for the Yankees. "Who wouldn't want to work for the
Yankees?" he said.
The Cowboys' job opened up officially Monday when team owner
Jerry Jones fired coach Dave Campo. Jones, a headstrong owner
who revels in the spotlight, will concede much of his authority over
personnel decisions to Parcells.

Parcells' friend confirms deal
Coach's co-author tells radio station
agreement with Cowboys in place
01/01/2003
By JEAN-JACQUES TAYLOR
and CHIP BROWN / The Dallas Morning News
IRVING - One of Bill Parcells' closest friends confirmed
Tuesday that a deal has been struck with Cowboys owner
Jerry Jones for Parcells to coach the team.
Boston Globe columnist Will McDonough, who co-authored
a book with Parcells and does a weekly radio show with him,
told KTCK-AM 1310 that Parcells will be the sixth coach in
franchise history.
 ... Parcells is expected to arrive in Dallas on Thursday and
be introduced as coach by the end of the week. A news
conference has not been scheduled. "He loves the idea of
coaching the Dallas Cowboys" McDonough said on KTCK.
"He thinks that if you're in sports and you get the opportunity
to manage the Yankees or coach the Cowboys or coach the
Celtics or manage the Dodgers, then you have to take it.
"Believe me, right now, this might be the only place he would
coach in the NFL."
 ... "I don't think he has any qualms whatsoever about going
to the Dallas Cowboys," McDonough told the radio station.
"He's very, very excited about that. A year ago, a lot of people
close to him knew he had a lot of questions about going to
Tampa Bay. He wasn't sure it was the right thing to do."
Jones and Parcells have had two meetings totaling about 11
hours. Their last meeting occurred Friday on Long Island, N.Y.,
and lasted six hours. McDonough said much of that time was
spent discussing the relationship between an owner and a
coach.
 ... "He and Jerry have already had those talks about what
are the lines of demarcation," McDonough said on KTCK.
"How much Jerry gets involved, and where Jerry should be.
Let me put it this way: As long as Jerry doesn't interfere or
get involved, I think they'll have a great relationship.
"I think Bill likes Jerry a lot. He's excited about going to work
for him. He likes the enthusiasm of it. But the real test will
come next season or the season after."
