Same, Giants were my childhood. The House I lived in, in Jersey City you could see Giant stadium lit up in Secaucus. I could never afford to go, but we would drag a big ole Box T.V outside and watch the Game with Stadium literally in the Background. Pat Sumeral calling a snowy game on Sunday pre social media was and still is a fond memory.

When he was in NE they started a show called the 5th quarter. It was Parcells' post-game press conference. We all looked forward to that as much as we did the game. It was great when he would get pissed at one of the stupid reporters. The Big Tuna and Drew Bledsoe turned NE into a respectable NFL franchise.

Being a NY Giant fan we just loved the guy. He lived in my town where I grew up and he was a legend. I knew that he would thank his old coach Mickey Corcoran. My brother played basketball for him as well and Mickey was coached by Vince Lombardi himself. Just wish Parcells stayed with the Giants longer.

[@frippertonics6421]

The expression on Belichick's face when Parcells talks about his coaching staff... it seems like all these years into his own success, Belichick still has a lot of reverence for his former boss.

[@revo1974]

Of course he does, he learned from Parcells. Look at all the successful coaches that were under him. If Parcells had Brady for 20 years with today's rules that don't allow you to touch the QB or WR's, he would have been every bit as successful as Belichick.

His time has passed, Parcel Couldnt coach today he'd be sued, suspended, cancelled and probably arrested. He was a hardcore coach and spared no feelings. He'd make John Grueden look like a cub scout. I like Grueden by the way.

[@CraiglistErd]

Until I watched this I wondered exactly what it is that makes Belichick and the Patriots such a great team. I said why don't just other teams watch and find out what drives this team from behind the scenes. Again, after watching this I realize how oversimplified I made this observation look. I realize now creating a good football team can be created by drafting and signing of free agents BUT a GREAT football team is created by the actions and integrity of a player on the field and off the field. Its how each player on the team makes a commitment to something bigger than themselves. Its something that most football teams lack, especially nowadays. It is Bill Paarcells that helped to mold Belichick into the coach he is today. I'm assured Belichick doesn't have a bad thing to say about Parcells and if he did Parcells would agree.

[@MrAschiff]

@@4orrcountry He should have put whatever problems he had and thank him for giving him his first head coaching job.

[@byrongammonbyrongammon9937]

Young was Machiavellian. He went behind Parcells’ back and tried to hire Howard Schellenberger the year Parcells lost both his parents within 6 months and he was trying to get the Giants’ back on track in the 1983 season. Then when Parcells’ delivers the goods and gets the Super Bowl trophy Young starts complaining about Parcells flirting with the Atlanta Falcons about their coaching position. Then after the 2nd Super Bowl title....he dogs the hell out of Bill Belichick and hires Ray Handley instead.

[@MrAschiff]

@@byrongammonbyrongammon9937 He didn't try to hire Schnellenberger, he did try to see if he needed to go to him if Parcells had another bad year. Parcells' first year with the Giants was a disaster. They were 3-12-1. Young was upset that Parcells was given credit for the Giants championships and refused to bring him back to the Giants and told Mara he would quit. This was in the 1990s after his run in New England. Yes, it was a mistake to hire Handley. For some reason, Young didn't like Belichik,. He did like Coughlin, but Parcells didn't leave the Giants until after the season was over. By that time, Coughlin already got hired by Boston College. and Belichik by the Browns (not that he would have been elevated anyway).

[@byrongammonbyrongammon9937]

@@MrAschiff, no sir. George Young did indeed offer the Giants HC position to Schellenberger. Schellenberger declined the job offer else Parcells would have been gone. Young wasn’t upset that Parcells was given credit for the championships…..Young was upset that Parcells tried to stick it to Young by negotiating his way into becoming the HC of the Atlanta Falcons after the 1986 championship season in retaliation for Young pursuing Schellenberger after the 1983 season. After the Young-Schellenberger dance Parcells’ view on loyalty went out the window, loyalty no longer existed. Parcells had heart bypass surgery after the 1990 season. Yes, you’re correct that Young did NOT want to bring Parcells back to the Giants after his New England run. Young felt that Parcells couldn’t be trusted after pursuing the Falcons HC position after the 1986 season and dragging his feet on making a decision to stay or go after the conclusion of the 1990 season. Tom Coughlin had already accepted the Boston College HC position during the 1990 season….well before the Super Bowl, Coughlin was moving on. Young soiled the bed with his ego. Young viewed Belichick with disdain and the decision to bypass him set the franchise back. Young did make some good moves during the 1980s. Both drafting Jeff Hostetler and NOT trading him when he was incensed riding the bench. Trading for OJ Anderson during the 1986 season in exchange for second and seventh round draft picks in the 1987 NFL Draft. He also parlayed trades of OL Gary Zimmerman and CB Mark Haynes into picks that yielded Erik Howard, Pepper Johnson, and Mark Collins.
