Cowboys | Parcells' wavering led to Lee's departure

Updating a previous report, Mac Engel, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports former Dallas Cowboys assistant coach David Lee has accepted a three-year contract to join the University of Arkansas as their offensive coordinator, but he admitted he was led to his decision by the indecision of head coach Bill Parcells. Lee had a discussion with Parcells and wanted to know whether the head coach would return for a fifth season. When Parcells couldn't provide a definitive answer, Lee told Parcells, "Coach, I need to go." Lee later added, ""I just think Coach is struggling with what to do. That's the truth." Parcells has yet to decide whether he will coach the Cowboys in 2007.
