Bill Belichick lauds Bill Parcells’ work in Miami
FOXBORO – A lot of time has passed, a lot of games won and lost, since a couple of Bills named Parcells and Belichick parted ways.
The breakup wasn’t pretty. Parcells wanted to run the New York Jets [team stats] and have Belichick as coach. Belichick wanted to be his own man, and so famously scribbled on a piece of paper that he was resigning as “HC of the NYJ.”
Belichick has since coached the Patriots [team stats] to three Super Bowl championships. Parcells, who went on to coach the Cowboys and brought respectability to America’s one-time Team, is now vice president of football operations for the Miami Dolphins [team stats].
