S250-'mo PARCELLS IRVING, Texas — When Quincy Carter tried turning a bro- en play into a big one and Wound up throwing an intercep- lion, he knew he’d violated one of J :oach Bill Parcells’ biggest rules. Tie also knew a stem reminder vas awaiting him on the sideline. Parcells ndeed gave arter an ear- ul. But when he quarter- ack walked way, the oach patted im on the ack. No, three ears out of coaching didn’t make 'arcells turn soft. It’s simply a ase of a coach who realizes his ew team has a long way to go. The image of Parcells as a rag- ng, scowling menace was brmed when the cameras were n him most: when his teams ^ere championship-caliber. As e’s admitted, he’s toughest on ose teams, his best ones, cause he’s trying to make them ive up to their potential. He wants this year’s Dallas bwboys to do the same, difference is, they probably don’t lave playoff potential. Parcells said that by the end of raining camp he’d Figure out his , i asap tor i''Expectations for the team, then i/auttfw a i yy exceeding them. His relatively tame demeanor during a 27-13 loss to Atlanta in the opener indi cates the bar is set pretty low. Despite having reason to berate his offense, defense and special teams, Parcells was mostly expressionless. His body language was limited to crossed arms or hands either pressed to his hips or clasped behind his back. Parcells surely made plenty of biting comments during and after the game. They’ll continue all season. Those who don’t “get it,” as he likes to say, will wind up unemployed. But he won’t cut anyone just to use them as an example — not even Billy Cundiff, who missed a short field goal and an extra point. If Parcells had someone better lined up, Cundiff would be unem ployed. Otherwise, don’t expect any spiteful moves or scapegoats. As Parcells has said since he was hired, his goal is to chum the roster until he finds the right 53 players, even if it takes 53 new ones for the 2003 Cowboys to stop making the same silly mis takes as the previous six squads under coaches Barry Switzer, Chan Gailey and Dave Campo. While the mistakes were part of the reason Parcells hardly slept Sunday night, it’s hard to imagine that a team coming off three straight 5-11 seasons could sud denly play error-free just because a demanding, proven-winner is now calling the plays. These things take time. Parcells knows it. So does Falcons coach Dan Reeves, who said Sunday that Parcells’ influ ence “will become more evident as the season continues.” That’s one of those clip-and-save lines worth pulling out again in late December. Eventually, the Cowboys will get better. And, eventually, Parcells will get meaner. In training camp, Parcells told about the time he was concerned his Giants were full of them selves. So, to rein them in, he put in a game plan designed to make them lose a preseason game. Then there’s his first Super Bowl victory, in which Phil Simms went 22-of-25. Parcells wanted to know what went wrong on the three misses. And there was a Monday night in 1990 when the Giants, who were on their way to another Super Bowl title, opened with three straight scor ing drives against the Colts. When the fourth drive ended with a third-down incomple tion, Parcells and Simms were seen jawing on the sidelines. “We talk from time to time,” Simms said. So take note. Cowboys fans. When Parcells starts expecting perfection, his mission will have been accomplished. As Sunday proved, he’s only taken the first step. The second comes Monday night against the Giants with Parcells returning to his old stomping grounds at the Meadowlands.

Nutt said Arkansas fans were flashing the hand signal, and he reveled in the moment by flashing the sign back at them. Fans at Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Texas Tech are quick to flip a downward Hook ‘Em Horns sign whether on national television or driving past a vehicle with a Texas bumper stick er, so Nutt doesn’t see the harm in what he did. “I think fans have to realize that me being from Arkansas and seeing that from the time I was a little boy and it was a joyous time, an emotional time,” Nutt said. “That Cotton Bowl was the first (bowl) win in 15 years for our pro gram. Never, never, if people know my heart, would I ever do the de-Horns sign to a player, coach or fans. “When you play Texas, I see a bunch of other schools do that. We weren't the originator of that.” Arkansas tight end Jason Peters said: “Everybody, all the coaches and all the players have been getting pumped up for this game. The coaches say it’s just like any other game, but you can feel it that they’re going to coach harder and they’re more tensed up.
