How the Cowboys Dynasty Died: Parcells Nearly Fixed It But Wade Phillips Happened (2003–2010) | GFBR

from Good Friends, Better Rivals

For a minute there, it actually looked like the Cowboys were back.In Part 2 of our series on 30 years of Cowboys futility, Fares and Caleb cover the two most maddening eras of the post-dynasty drought. Bill Parcells walked in and actually stabilized the franchise — brought in talent, restored some toughness, and made Dallas relevant again. And then he left.What followed was the Wade Phillips era, a.k.a. Mr. Cream Puff. Tony Romo was electric. The roster was loaded. In 2007, the Cowboys went 13-3 and looked like legitimate Super Bowl contenders. Then January happened. And it kept happening.Talented enough to get your hopes up, soft enough to break your heart — that was the Cowboys from 2007 to 2010. And Fares and Caleb are not letting it slide.
