Parcells won 172 games & two Super Bowls

Guys that were on Parcells staff that he mentored and taught the way:

Former assistant, Tom Coughlin 170 wins & two Super Bowl wins
Former assistant, Sean Payton, 119 wins and 1 Super Bowl win
Former assistant, Bill Belichick 225 wins, 6 Super Bowl wins

It's not all what you do, it's the investment you put into your guys, the ones following your path. That's the ultimate count...the real measurement.

It breaks my heart that a former Dallas Coach story gets pushed off to the nothing-zone. Few will view the followup. If you love humanity and want to be a better human, don't miss this. It will push you forward as a person:

Parcells... for the longest time i had mixed feelings about him...

He gave the Patriots instant credibility when James Orthwein hired him, and he set a course for the team that they are still traveling down to this day... a lot of their early success under BB was founded on the players he brought in... Bledsoe, Brown, Brisby, Slade, McGuinest, Bruschi, Law, Martin, Ted Johnson, Larry Whigham...

but man, the way he left, and the disappointment felt when he f'ed up Super Bowl 31 with all his petty bickering with Bob Kraft, that was rage inducing... but now that time has passed all the bitterness has faded for the most part...

Per pro football reference, all the guys under him who made head coach

Bill Belichick 263-123-0, .681%, 6 x Super Bowl Champion
Todd Bowles 26-41-0, .388%
Tom Coughlin, 170-130-0, .531%, 2x Super Bowl Champion
Romeo Crennel, 28-55-0, .337%
Ron Erhardt, 21-28-0, .429%
Al Groh, 9-7-0, .563%
Todd Haley, 19-26-0, .422%
Ray Handley, 14-18-0, .438%
Dan Henning, 38-73-1, .344%
Freddie Kitchens, 1-1-0. .500%
Anthony Lynn, 22-13-0, .629%
Eric Mangini, 33-47-0, .413%
Chris Palmer, 5-27-0, .156%
Sean Payton, 119-75-0, .613%, 1x Super Bowl Champion
Ray Perkins, 42-75-0, .359%
Tony Sparano, 32-41-0, .438%
Mike Zimmer, 48-33-1, .539%

all told, that's an impressive coaching tree... not all the guys were cut out to be head coaches, but there are some really good/great coordinators in that group...

if you haven't watched it, The Two Bills is a great little documentary

I had a chance to meet him... a friend of mine, his brother was on his staff in Dallas... I was invited to come down and meet them all, attend a game, etc, but could never work in the trip... i regret that to this day

One more year here and he might have gotten us to a SB. Very disappointed when Wade was name HC.

I knew it was a wrap as soon as he retired. I mean he got us to the playoffs with quincy carter at the helm. Jerry should have done everything he could to keep him here. But Jerry doesn't actually believe in good coaching.

If only Romo didn't make him retire with the fumbled field goal snap

That didn't make him retire. Everyone knew he would probably last no more than 4 years when he joined the Cowboys. He only lasted 3 seasons with the Jets and 4 with the Patriots back when he was in his 50s. There was little that could have been done to retain him for another season. There is a reason he didn't go on to coach for another team. He didn't even take on a GM role with another franchise. He was done with the high stress positions in the NFL.

I think it was T.O. more than anything that made him retire early . He was just tired of it all.

He stated that was his worst loss as a coach and didn't have the will to come back for 2007.
“When you lose a game like that, and everything else is right and you prepared and worked hard and had a good gameplan, and you have a chance to win it, and then something like that happens, it pushes you right over the top. He just said ‘That’s it. That’s when I knew it was over. I can’t do it any more.’"

Wow, just wow. What a video that was. What a wonderful man Parcells is and Martin turned out to be. And what a woman his mother is. Just absolutely incredible. Nearly brought me to tears watching that.
