Absolutely. Taking a team that was essentially at rock bottom, five years without a winning record with double digit losses in the previous three seasons, where the choice of quarterback was either Quincy Carter or Chad Hutchinson (Romo wasn’t even going to be considered as an undrafted, unproven rookie on a Parcells’ team) and getting them to the playoffs is a masterclass in coaching. It’s why Bill is one of the greatest of all time. If he stuck around for another year or two, I think Dallas at least gets to a Super Bowl.
The sad thing is they did not talk about his history and how it started at West Point, the military academy. And what I admired about him is he KNOWS EVERYTHING about EVERY position in the game of football.
I have been a long time Oilers/Titans fan. Yet, I always LOVED watching the NY Giants when they were coached by B. Parcells, and I rooted for the Big Blue Wrecking Crew in the Parcells years. Tough, gritty, hard-nosed, physical. Giants had a great game plan when they played the Bills in the Super Bowl in Tampa.
Mmm hmmm. Didn't Parcells give LT a ticket to New Orleans? And he told him 'Go get me Pat Swilling. He can handle Pankey. You can't.' Then, a mad LT went out and beat Pankey for 2 sacks in the '89 divisional playoff game v the Rams?
I really enjoyed his 4 seasons here with the Cowboys. He left them in so much better shape than what they were when he took over. Night & day really. If only Romo hangs on to that FG snap in Seattle.
He did a tremendous job with the Cowboys, and they should have advanced that year in the playoffs, and won at Seattle. As a Giants fan, I always admired Romo, and felt bad he didn't get a shot at a SB.,
As a Patriots fan I will always have love for Parcells. Before he came along we were the laughing stock of the AFC. He started the “Patriot way” by fielding a no nonsense team that was tough. He left the team much better than how he found it.
It's ridiculous that Parcells hasn't been inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. The voting process is nothing more than a popularity contest. A large segment of fans obviously don't appreciate his huge contribution to the franchise's turnaround, focusing solely upon his departure.
@@threerings1345 Had he not gone to a division rival, maybe he would've been inducted by now. Plus, with more and more dynasty players eligible for the Patriots Hall of Fame, he'll be waiting for a VERY long time.
It was a dumb-ass comment asked by a guy who never put on a jockstrap. Wallace is obviously a smart guy, but only somebody who played competively for a long time can understand the importance of sports. Many great coaches - especially football coaches - are only satisfied when they're enraged. If your ass isn't on fire with every play, you're in the wrong business.
What? Back in the day that's what newspaper journalists called the Sports Departments, i.e. the 'toy department', and by extension, *SPORTS* , at all newspapers across the country. Bill Parcells is smart enough to know that and wouldn't take offense
‘Success’ is such a complex word. When Wallace compared football to toys I thought Parcels was going to pop him. I was in Dallas in business at a cowboy/chiefs game. Dallas’ kicker and punter were on a desolate bench. They were muck it up having a good time laughing. Parcels noticed it and just stared for about “a life time” at the two. He didn’t go over there, never said a word to them. They got up, separated and stood on the sidelines. I’ll never forget that. It reminded me of what my dad was capable of doing when I was a child.
My dad too. The look was enough to make me piss myself. Love the stories Simms and Taylor and all of the Giants of that era tell. Parcells is a special breed.
has always been my favorite coach and this year his undefeated filly he was racing broke down as she was about to win another stake race 2 feet in front of the wire sorry coach but thanks for all of the memories 😇
Parcels is the Secret God father of the Patriots dynasty he drafted the whole defense the kicker and Troy Brown. Duck Raybine scouted King Brady and the rest was history.
Coming out of the 90's like a drunken rock star.. The Dallas Cowboys were a complete mess. Parcells came in and restored the seeds of professionalism that was so desperately needed. Ive never been more proud to have a guy as the coach of my favorite team. His press conferences were must see tv. everyone felt like they was about to learn something every time he spoke.
One of the best ever! And he never had a Tom Brady ! Every team he coached he always came in and made them better. I mean what he did to franchise's was incredible! Two Super bowls with the Giants, took the Patriots from worst in the league to the super bowl, took the last place Jets and went to the AFC Championship game and during his last stop in Dallas took them to the playoffs! Not to mention great draft picks throughout his career. LONG LIVE THE TUNA ! JUST A QUESTION ? WOULD BILL BELICHICK WHO LEARNED UNDER PARCELLS BE THE BEST COACH EVER WITHOUT BRADY ? I BELIEVE HIS CAREER RECORD WITHOUT BRADY IS SOMETHING LIKE 80-94 !
Mike:..”didn’t one of your players throw his jersey in your face?” Tuna:..”yeah” Mike…” he’s still on the team” Tuna:…”yeah” This was in reference to the Antonio Bryant incident during training camp…when asked by the press after the incident, Keyshawn Johnson laughed and uttered two words,,,”HE GONE” Sure enough, shortly afterwards Parcells had Bryant traded to the Browns…three years later, Bryant was out of the NFL
Yes. Parcells asked him if he wanted to try coaching and in the pre season he had a trial period. Only lasted about 6 weeks. Coaching wasnt for him. This was...1997 I believe
To your point, he was exactly one step less successful as his coaching career progressed---he won 2 super bowls with the Giants. He got the Patriots into a super bowl but lost. He took the Jets to the AFC championship game but lost. He got Dallas back in the "tournament" but lost in the opening round. He was in the front office in Miami, but bailed before there was a turnaround. He was a great coach, but his impatience grew as he got older.
Jock Ewing, James Evans and there's bill Parcells real men I say again real men two were fictions but they are what this world needs and young men needs men like this. I would have let him coach my son all day
First time it was because he needed open heart surgery. Second time was because there was a lot of tension between him and Robert Kraft and I’m not sure about the other two times I think the last time he was just ready to retire
That would be great but not possible as the media is on their side. Just once, it would be nice to not have favoritism as the citizens are missing out.
No exaggeration.. getting that 2003 Cowboys team to the playoffs is one of the best coaching performances in NFL history.
Absolutely. Taking a team that was essentially at rock bottom, five years without a winning record with double digit losses in the previous three seasons, where the choice of quarterback was either Quincy Carter or Chad Hutchinson (Romo wasn’t even going to be considered as an undrafted, unproven rookie on a Parcells’ team) and getting them to the playoffs is a masterclass in coaching.

One of the best coaches ever.
Parcells was a great coach, he was tough when he had to be. We need more coaches like Parcells.
The sad thing is they did not talk about his history and how it started at West Point, the military academy. And what I admired about him is he KNOWS EVERYTHING about EVERY position in the game of football.
He was a friend of Bob Knight from West Point.😅
Bill Parcells expects alot from himself and also from his players .He was one of the best coaches the Giants ever had.
I have to guess he will always be their best one !
@@rog9601Agreed!

Tom Coughlin (a former Parcell coach) was damn good too
If I’m gonna sacrifice my self emotionally and physically on a daily basis as a football player, Bill Parcells is the Coach I want to play for.
Unparalleled motivation skills. The way he got LT psyched up to take on Irv Pankey and the Rams is one of the greatest tactics I've ever heard.
Mmm hmmm. Didn't Parcells give LT a ticket to New Orleans? And he told him 'Go get me Pat Swilling. He can handle Pankey. You can't.' Then, a mad LT went out and beat Pankey for 2 sacks in the '89 divisional playoff game v the Rams?
Without a doubt one of the best.
The best coach to ever exist..brilliant..competitive and all of his player loved him and would storm a beach for the man.
That's Vince Lombardi
"This is not a game for the most well-adjusted people."
--Bill Parcells
Bill parcells is legendary!
Absolutely.....
The best coach in our era!! If he does not leave the Jets, they're playing in a Super Bowl before 2001
Good piece.

He should have stayed in NE , the Giants wouldn't have been able to cheat their way to the super Bowl if they had

@finchb 5 years clown
"The Toy Department." Parcells did not kick his a** right then and there, admire the self control. But it was a more polite era.

Mike Wallace was no slouch. Would have been a good bout.

That was not offensive. You mis understood the context.
BEST COACH EVER BEST MOTIVATOR
After Lombardi, maybe Shula? Chuck Noll Andy Reid, Bellechick if not for Brady not so much.
Landry
Great man, dying breed
The great coaches give their souls and sacrifice their lives for it.
It's hard for me to realize that Jerry Jones was only 47 when he bought the Cowboys. He's always seemed like an 80 year old man to me.
I know! He’s a year younger than my grandma.
‘Success’ is such a complex word.
When Wallace compared football to toys I thought Parcels was going to pop him.
I was in Dallas in business at a cowboy/chiefs game. Dallas’ kicker and punter were on a desolate bench. They were muck it up having a good time laughing.

“It’s my life, it’s my blood, it’s how I’m measured” on and off the field guy was true grit personified. Cheers Billy
has always been my favorite coach and this year his undefeated filly he was racing broke down as she was about to win another stake race 2 feet in front of the wire sorry coach but thanks for all of the memories 😇
NOBODY else could talk to Parcells like this!😂
I was surprised Bill even did the interview ! He had to know some tough questions were coming his way.
Parcels is the Secret God father of the Patriots dynasty he drafted the whole defense the kicker and Troy Brown. Duck Raybine scouted King Brady and the rest was history.
Love me some Bill Parcells!
Bill Parcells, friend of Bobby Knight, that’s all you need to know😉
And Thank God he was.
Mike Wallace, I miss him. He was great. The Big Tuna, great character.
Two absolute legends. Both fiery and tenacious in their craft. Did not mince words.
Mike’s son is a fraud
Show me any Coach that took half as many CRAP franchises and turned them around: Giants, Patriots, JETS (!), Dallas…..Best Coach ever
and, fortuna tely, had Bill Bel, running the defenses on those teams
I think Turning the Jets around was the most impressive from 1-15 to the conference championship game in year two
Coming out of the 90's like a drunken rock star.. The Dallas Cowboys were a complete mess. Parcells came in and restored the seeds of professionalism that was so desperately needed. Ive never been more proud to have a guy as the coach of my favorite team. His press conferences were must see tv. everyone felt like they was about to learn something every time he spoke.
Bill 👍💟
As a Jets fan I would love to have this Genius as a coach.
Would've loved to of seen him coach in college..
Jesus. A hit piece

@1:45 was Mark Bavaro on the Jets coaching staff?
Yes. Parcells asked him if he wanted to try coaching and in the pre season he had a trial period. Only lasted about 6 weeks. Coaching wasnt for him. This was...1997 I believe
To me, the sun rises and sets with Parcells and Tom Osborne
As an Eagles fan I only wish we would have had Parcells as coach
With the Eagles always on the verge, it make you wonder if Bill would had gotten more out of them.
Exactly!!@@rog9601
Buddy had a great D, back then, and took them as far as they could go
“Keyshawn yelling at his last coach”….JON GRUDEN
Parcells was a weird guy. He is the ultimate turnaround expert, but he was also flighty and prone to burnout
To your point, he was exactly one step less successful as his coaching career progressed---he won 2 super bowls with the Giants. He got the Patriots into a super bowl but lost. He took the Jets to the AFC championship game but lost. He got Dallas back in the "tournament" but lost in the opening round.

Way better than Belichick...

Jock was the only one who could handle JR.
@@rog9601Ha!! It's so true. Well, Bobby could at times. 😂
Why did he keep quitting? 4 times.
First time it was because he needed open heart surgery. Second time was because there was a lot of tension between him and Robert Kraft and I’m not sure about the other two times I think the last time he was just ready to retire
Coach prime has a lot of parcells in him. Very confrontational and direct.
2:23, The great Mike Wallace. This is the toy department 🤣😂
Back when 60 minutes was watchable. Now it’s just another far left/democrat party propaganda show.
He would have worked better with Brady than Belichick.
60 Minutes sucked then and it sucks now
Let’s see Wallace ask these tough questions to Dems
That would be great but not possible as the media is on their side. Just once, it would be nice to not have favoritism as the citizens are missing out.
Mike is dead. But gunga Dan isn't. But he's not going to ask the tough questions. Too liberal
fun fact: he *CHEATED* in the 1990 NFC Championship game by kicking a 5th field goal when the agreed limit between the Giants and the league was *4*
What ?!
Move on.
Fun fact you have a low IQ
