Everyone is thrilled that Wade Phillips is more hands off than Bill Parcells.

But let's be sure to give Parcells his proper due.

He is a Hall of Fame coach.

And just like in New York with the Giants and Jets and in New England with the Patriots, Parcells should receive total credit for rebuilding the franchise.

It's amazing how Dallas fans refuse to give Parcells his due.

Sure, he didn't win a title.

But do you remember what the Cowboys were before he took over?

Do I need to evoke the name Dave Campo?

And let's remember the bind that Quincy Carter put him in.

Phillips is the right coach to take over for Parcells.

And I think Dallas is going to the playoffs this year.

But let's put Parcells run in Dallas, and his credentials as a great coach, in proper perspective.
