Help Wanted

From Todd Archer, Dallas Morning News:

We still don't know if Bill Parcells is coming back in 2007 or beyond.
Yes, beyond.

If he comes back he could have up to five openings on his staff.
The primo job is as defensive coordinator, and the Cowboys could be in a position to land the best 3-4 coordinator in the business.

With Pittsburgh hiring Mike Tomlin, a believer in the Tampa-2 scheme, the Steelers long-time coordinator Dick LeBeau could be available. He has a contract, so the Steelers would have to grant permission to allow LeBeau to leave.

LeBeau invented the 3-4, zone blitz scheme used by the Steelers on a napkin. It's slightly different than the 3-4 the Cowboys use because it is more of an attacking scheme.
>>> Wouldn't THAT be great!!!?<<<

LeBeau turns 70 in September, but having spent plenty of time around the coach in Cincinnati, the man is going on 45. He is amazing. And he should be considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. When he retired he had 62 interceptions, which was third-most at the time he left the game.
