USA Today has stated in an article that was based off of Parcells HBO “RealSports” interview that Tony Romo is to blame for his retirement from coaching. In Parcell’s interview he makes comments about the simplicity of kicking a field goal and it was the inability of the Cowboys to make that last field goal after going so far as a team that lead to his retirement. However, he never directly says that Tony Romo is the reason he quit.
The reporter for USA Today came up with the conclusion all by himself. Tony Romo isn’t to blame, it was the disappointment of not being able to put the icing on the cake when it was obvious the cake was theirs to be eaten. You have a great team and you don’t take that team the distance, it hurts, it takes a toll on you mentally. That was Parcells breaking point, not when Romo dropped the snap.

Field Goal attempt that never should have been…
Blame was on Parcells not attacking a weak secondary the whole game. Everyone knew it was their achilles heel. So he outcoached himself by not attacking it.
