Then you've got to read Payton's book "Home Team"( I have an autographed copy). He talks about offers to leave Dallas and how "The Tuna" told him he wasn't prepared for a larger role. Parcells talked him into staying longer and Payton said it was one of the best moves he never made. Payton must be easy to hangout with on his off hours.

Home Team is well written and easy to read. I could hardly put it down and I read it twice.

Parcells also gave Payton his best advice when he was leaving......."Find out what's wrong with the organization and fix it fast from the bottom up."
