I am very glad that Coach Parcells upgraded our roster. I will miss the Coach. He knows football.
That said, I do believe a change was necessary. I just rewatched the show on NFL Network on the '86 Giants and we did not get that Bill Parcells. He had energy, passion and was very fiery! The team played just like him.
Phil Simms made a statement: "What coach do you know that would tell you to throw the ball all over the field and not care if you make a mistake? Bill told me he wanted me to throw the ball and keep throwing it. Forget about turnovers. Coaches today will tell ya, 'don't turn the ball over', 'don't make a mistake'". That statement sums up the two different Parcells right there. The young guy wanted his players to just play ball, to heck with everything else. While the Parcells we got was much more conservative and scared to make mistakes and forced his players to play just like it.
