Executive Overview Bill Parcells is a football legend. He has turned around three National Football League (NFL) teams, taking two of them to the Super Bowl and one to the American Football Conference (AFC) Eastern Division Championship. A recipient of 10 Coach of the Year Awards during his NFL career (1982-2000), he is considered one of the greatest coaches of all time, and is often compared to Vince Lombardi, legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers. Parcells's winning percentage is one of the highest in the history of professional football. Parcells transformed three NFL teams from losing teams to champions in record time. In eight years as head coach of the New York Giants (1983–1991). he led the Giants to Super Bowl victories in 1986 and 1990. After a two-year hiatus as a football analyst for NBC Sports, Parcells resurrected two more troubled NFL teams. As head coach of the New England Patriots (1993–1996) he took a team with a 1992 record of 2 wins and 14 losses and transformed it into a 1994 AFC playoff team with 10 wins and 6 losses. In 1996, the Patriots' record of 11 wins and 5 losses brought them to the American Football Conference Championship title and a berth in the Super Bowl. Receiving a record-breaking contract in 1997, Parcells left the Patriots to become chief football operations officer and head coach of the New York Jets, the worst team in football, with one win and 15 losses. Within a year, the Jets' record was 9 wins and 7 losses and they were in contention for the AFC Eastern Division title until the final weekend of the season. In 1998, Parcells led the Jets to their first AFC Eastern Division championship in 29 years. Parcells retired as the Jets head coach in 2000, but continued in the position of chief football operations until 2001, when he retired from football. Parcells attended college at Colgate and Wichita State, where he was a star linebacker. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions, but instead took a coaching position with Hastings College in Nebrask. He held defensive coaching jobs at Wichita State, West Point, Florida State, Vanderbilt, and Texas Tech before becoming head coach of the Air Force Academy in 1978. Parcells is the author of three books, his autobiography, Parcells—The Biggest Giant of Them All (1987), Finding a Way to Win (1995), and The Final Season (2000). In this interview Bill Parcells demonstrates his acumen not only as a football coach, but also as a manager and leader. His name is synonymous with winning.
