Brunell to Dallas..?

[aldabra]

My rabid Cowboy fan friend is fanning the flames here locally....it would make a good fit...Parcells likes vet QB...Vinnie over hill, after surgery Brunell should be fresh.....stay tuned off-season....of course there are other teams in dire need
:brows: :brows:

I think Garcia may also be a possibility to Dallas. Somehow I get the feeling San Fran won't be bringing him back.

Just not sure what type of offense Parcells is interested in running. If it's West Coast, then Garcia's a perfect fit.

Falcons need Brunell to back up Vick.

Can`t see Brunell going anywhere to be a backup. He`s only doing it now cause he`s forced to. I believe several teams would love to have him as a no 1. Chicago, San Diego, Giants, to name a few. Just another opinion.

Have a good Sunday and beat the Book.

Scott, I really can't see many teams spendin' $10 MILLION (Marky ,Mark's price take for next year ) for a Back-Up,do you.. ??This man is a quality Starter for any team , and I do feel "The Tuna "could easily mould him into the Cowboy scheme.
I really feel Quincy is GONZO-at least as a starter, there is No way the "boys" can play any better with Q.C. as their starter-alot of inabiaties there, and I really feel NO team can spend $10 M for the Back- Up position.
Just my 3 cents worth. Good luck on your 'action'..

I agree with you the Falcons cannot afford him.

I was just wishing is all. Next year when Vick is still running 150 yards a game and he gets hurt , the Falcons season is going down the tubes again is all.

I agree Tuna could do wonders with Brunell in Dallas.

good luck to you also.

Six names for discussion

Who will coach the Falcons next season? If there's no short list yet, surely there will be no shortage of candidates either. To kick off water-cooler talk, the AJC offers . . .

FRANK BEAMER, Virginia Tech head coach

Thumbs up: The coach who made Virginia Tech a national power won't be confused by Michael Vick's name changes -- Michael was Michael when he played for Beamer's Hokies.

Thumbs down: In 30 years, has never worked a day in the NFL; winning in college means nothing in the pros, as Steve Spurrier is proving.

HERMAN EDWARDS, N.Y. Jets head coach

Thumbs up: Took the Jets to postseason in his first two seasons.

Thumbs down: His team has disappointed in 2003 (though nothing compared to the Falcons); the last coach to come to Atlanta from the Big Apple was just fired.

RALPH FRIEDGEN, Maryland head coach

Thumbs up: A local favorite from his days at Georgia Tech, where he helped make Joe Hamilton into Vick Lite; a great offensive mind who also has been an assistant coach in the NFL.

Thumbs down: Anybody remember Abe Gibron?

JIMMY JOHNSON, Fox TV analyst

Thumbs up: Two Super Bowl rings with the Cowboys, a national title at the University of Miami. He's available immediately.

Thumbs down: Weren't the Dolphins supposed to win big, but never did, in his first return from NFL exile? Is this town big enough for his well-coiffed hair and Blank's?

NICK SABAN, LSU head coach

Thumbs up: Turned around two college programs, LSU and Michigan State, and has NFL experience as a defensive coordinator. He's ambitious -- how many other coaches have their own Web site (www.nicksaban.net)? -- and hey, he's 3-0 at the Georgia Dome.

Thumbs down: Even though his dad is NOT legendary gypsy coach Lou Saban, they share the same name, and we all know Lou changed jobs at the drop of a helmet.

BOB STOOPS, Oklahoma head coach

Thumbs up: Has won big, including a national title, since getting his first head coaching job four years ago. His visor fetish could give Falcons new gear to market.

Thumbs down: It's easier to turn around Oklahoma than a losing NFL team. At last check, Baylor and Iowa State aren't on the pro schedule.

Former Bear coach Gibron dead at 72

CHICAGO (AP) _ Abe Gibron, a burly 25-year veteran of professional football who ended his career coaching the Chicago Bears, has died at age 72.

Gibron, known for his sense of humor and his appetite, died Tuesday at his home in Belle Air, Fla. He had been in ill health recently.

Gibron won a lot of friends with a sense of humor that made him as popular with his players as he was with reporters.

On Mondays in Chicago when he met with reporters, he'd raise a shot of whiskey and declare: ``All right, everything is on the record until this touches my lips and the minute it touches my lips, everything is off the record.''

Gibron entered the pro ranks as a guard out of Purdue in 1949, joining Buffalo of the old All-American Football Conference. That was followed by a seven-year stint with the Cleveland Browns, during which he played in six NFL championship games.

The Michigan City, Ind., native joined the Bears in 1958 after a season in Philadelphia and played for two more seasons before retiring as a player.

He was an assistant coach with the Washington Redskins for four years before joining the Bears' coaching staff in 1965.

He became Bears head coach in 1972, inheriting a bad team that continued to struggle through his three seasons in the job.

His Bears won only 11 games, lost 30 and had one tie.

The teams always struggled in the latter stage of each season.

His 1972 team went 4-9-1, losing six of its final seven. The 3-11 team the next season dropped its final six games.

And in 1974, when the Bears finished 4-10, they lost seven of their final eight.
