I gathered this information about a month ago. I was just curious to see where we might be headed in the head coaching realm. With the signing of David Lee as quarterbacks coach, it appears to be a no brainer that Tony Sparano will be the head coach of this team. Some of these coaches are still with the Cowboys. Some were leftovers from the Cowboys staff when Parcells came in. He gave most of them the boot later on. Without further ado, here are some names that he coached with in his last past 4 years. (the leftovers from) 2002 Gary Gibbs Steve Hoffman Mike Zimmer 2003 Maurice Carthon Bruce Dehaven Tony Sparano David Lee John McNulty Mike McIntyre Sean Payton George Warhop 2004 Todd Haley Kacy Rodgers 2005 Paul Pasqualoni Vincent Brown Todd Bowles 2006 Anthony Lynn Freddie Kitchens Chris Palmer Do with the information what you will. I'm just throwing away a piece of paper in my desk.
Yep, him and Jeff Rutledge, also an ex-Alabama qb, were hired by the Arizona Cardinals as coaches in 2007.
On a side note, I read where Parcells was told to keep an eye on Freddie Kitchens by Mississippi State's HC Slyvester Croom, apparently, they have a relationship. The reason I mention it is because Mississippi State has a receiver, Tony Burks, 6-4, 219. 2006 35 850 24.3 6 2007 33 444 13.5 3 I saw him in the bowl game, only caught 1 pass, and had a couple of end-arounds, looked smooth running, but that team is a running team so most of what he did was block, but apparently not afraid to go across the middle for a pass, block, essentially do all the dirty work. Seems like a Wr with potential that could be gotten in the 7th round of the draft.

Kinda hard for a non-expert to judge his translation of talent to the NFL playing on a team that hardly passes and with marginal QBs throwing to me at Moo U.
The branches that count Everyone talks about various "coaching trees", the Bill Walsh tree; the Jimmy Johnson tree, the Schottenheimer tree, etc. If you include guys that coached directly under Parcells, and not disciples of his assistants, Parcells coaching progeny includes Belichick, Tom Coughlin, Romeo Crennel, and Sean Payton, those guys have done pretty well for themselves as head coaches. If Sparano is true to Parcells' form, he should be a considerable improvement over Cameron, Saban, Wannstadt, et al.
