He loved football. Its in his blood. But he got burnt out and quit on his teams.
Are you guys really going to even deny that?
I don't understand the question.
FFS Theebs. we've resorted to witty one liners at this point.
Save the long-windedness for another thread.
He left New England because Kraft wouldn't let him buy the groceries and he left Dallas because he was fed up with Jerry Jones' interference. Not because NoDak the bitch says he was a bitch.
I just want to know how Little Bill was the catalyst for all Parcells' NFL success. Please explain that one to me.
He wasn't the GM in New England. It wasn't in his contract to let him pick the players. He quit on his contract.
Midswat said:In Dallas... he quit.
Same reason why Little Bill is the catalyst for his own success. He's a great coach. Arguably the greatest of all time.
Um, how does that differentiate from what I said?
Because of Jerry.
Ok, how? Did his presence just rub off success on everyone within an arm's radius? Is he made of pixie dust?
So you agree he's a quitter. Okay.
He left New England because Kraft wouldn't let him buy the groceries and he left Dallas because he was fed up with Jerry Jones' interference. Not because NoDak the bitch says he was a bitch.
Good. I got you to renounce your assertion that he quit every team because he got burnt out at each stop.
I can't help you if you're being purposely obtuse.
Try the one-liner routine, a la superpunk. It works for him. Sometimes.
He left the giants after a great run because of a heart condition.
He left new england because of the scenario with kraft and his family taking over.
He left the jets because he thought he was done.
I think the cowboys job might have been his toughest and he was completely out of his element. As norm used to say all the time, he doenst have any friends or family here and he is just miserable. His personality didnt jive with jerrys sunshine approach and it just naturally wound to an end. If you are the type of coach parcells is who is hands on in everything and you are a perfectionist if you are not winning big its not going to work. Plain and simple it was just a burn out situation here. I wish he would have stayed for 07.
More importantly I always wondered what would have happened had we signed delhomme as he intended and thought was going to happen in the spring of 03. That schedule and that defense with an actual quarterback and we might have been the ones in the superbowl that year who knows. 03 success actually set us back and the rebuild didnt really get shifted into drive until the offseason going into 05.
It would have been awesome to see that team in 07 with the discipline and structure in tact. On the flip side of that everyone was more relaxed and might have been the reason we won so much in 07, but that reared its head soon after.
He did get burnt out. Hence his proclaimations that he'd never coach again.
in many stops he did more than just rebuild, just like his time at air force he basically re-established the giants organization along with george young.....in new england they were operating like a third world country in a division with a team that went to 4 straight superbowls. He had to not only build the team and front office he also had to help in designing the facilities and all that type of stuff.....
His immediate turnaround in new england was as big an accomplishment as jimmy and jerry's here they just came a kick return short in the superbowl. Just like jimmy in Dallas, Bill in new england had an issue with the owner that caused him to leave.
Its completely crazy to say he is a .500 coach and summarize his career that way unless you do not know much about his career, which I suspect is the case with mid.
