TUNA SURPRISE: PARCELLS OUT IN BIG D
A league source tells us that Cowboys coach Bill Parcells resigned his position on Friday night after a lengthy meeting with owner Jerry Jones regarding the decision to sign receiver Terrell Owens.
Parcells, who signed an extension last season, was angered by the acquisition of Owens. The veteran coach, we hear, told Jones that Owens had not changed and should not be signed. Parcells became livid after Owens' book deal was announced, which happened less than two days after Owens was introduced as a member of the organization.
Butch Davis is the leading candidate to replace Parcells. Davis was the Cowboys' defensive coordinator in the early 1990s, and he served with Jimmy Johnson's two Super Bowl teams.
For Parcells, his coaching career is likely over after stints as the top dog with the Giants, Patriots, Jets, and Cowboys.
:-D :-D :-D

April Fooooool's.... :-D
April Fool's +alot of beer + bad news for Cowbys fans = A fooled, drunken me. Meh, hopw it happens anyway.
I don't particularly care for the turn this thread took. I don't care for it at all.
Aprils Fools day jokes suck (even though I fell for it)
i heard Moulds backed out of his deal
The fact that you didn't fall for it proves that you're smarter than SD_Eagle.
well...duh.
I'll go with the early and still drunk excuse here.
No dice, dumbass.
Oh well, guess the weekend excuse won't fly either.
What's more interesting is that in their "real" rumor mill, they have this:
QuotePARCELLS RETIREMENT RUMORS FLY
Even though the lead item of our annual April Fool's edition regarding the resignation of Cowboys coach Bill Parcells is phony, we're hearing rumors that Parcells might indeed pack it in after three years with the Cowboys.
The catalyst for the speculation is the addition of former Eagles receiver Terrell Owens, which might have occurred without the input or over the objection of the head coach.
Parcells has said nothing about the arrival of Owens, and Parcells was the only coach who blew off the ownership meetings in Florida this week. His absence has fueled talk that he's very unhappy with the signing of Owens, and that Parcells doesn't want to have to talk about the situation to the media, or to anyone else.
The deeper problem here is that the events of the past two weeks have created the impression that Parcells has no say in what goes on with his team. For a guy like Parcells, who plops more football knowledge into the porcelain every day that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones ever will acquire, the notion of being undermined publicly is the last thing he deserves, especially as his coaching career moves into its final days.
Some of their April 1 one-liners are fairly amusing:

Maybe I'm not such a dumbass afterall.
That this could be true makes me truly happy...
In keeping with board edicate I probably should have said 'happy in the pants'. Maybe a little vomit in the mouth or even as far as raging Dallas hate boner... or something.
