A closer look at the defining struggles that shaped Bill Parcells's life and career.
Bill Parcells, nicknamed "the Big Tuna", is a prominent American former NFL coach. He is most celebrated for his tenure with the New York Giants (1983-1990), leading them to two Super Bowl victories. He further distinguished himself by coaching the New England Patriots (1993-1996), New York Jets (1997-2000), and Dallas Cowboys (2003-2006). Parcells is the only NFL coach to guide four different franchises to the playoffs and three to a conference championship game, solidifying his legacy as a highly successful and influential figure in professional football.
Phil Simms missed the entire 1982 season.
In 1983, Bill Parcells' first season as head coach of the Giants saw him bench Phil Simms in favor of Scott Brunner, though Simms later returned. The Giants finished with a 3-12-1 record.
In 1992, Bill Parcells declined an offer to become the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, citing the need for open heart surgery.
In 1996, disagreements with owner Robert Kraft led to Bill Parcells' departure from the Patriots. Kraft vetoed Parcells' choice to draft Tony Brackens, and instead drafted Terry Glenn.
In 1999, Bill Parcells retired from football for the second time after a disappointing season with the Jets, where quarterback Vinny Testaverde was injured.
In 2004, the Cowboys experienced turmoil after starting quarterback Quincy Carter was terminated for alleged drug use and replaced with 40-year-old veteran Vinny Testaverde. Despite being favored by Coach Parcells, Testaverde proved ineffective, and the Cowboys' season was further hampered by injuries, personnel issues, and penalties, resulting in a 6–10 record.
