For all the talk from Cowboys players of Wade making football fun again last year, it is times like this that you need a grimreaper like Parcells. He would not stand for any of the crap going on down there and, perhaps more importantly, he wouldn't be afraid to kick JJ the hell out of his office. For all of Synder's failures in his early days it appears that Gibbs taught him the appropriate way to be an owner while JJ learned nothing from a legend like Parcells.

Or it could be that Parcells had nothing to teach him. As a coach Parcells was certainly great, but he can't compare to Gibbs in terms of building a culture of accountability, trust, and patience. Parcells, to me, seems to have been primarily focused on himself. Whether it was bolting the Patriots during SB week, or bailing on the Bucs at the last minute.
