And that goes back to that StarKist commercial where Charlie was kind of a sucker. … I was a rookie coach [in 1980]. I knew there was something fishy because too many guys asked me.” Broncos season-ticket holder After a short lived tenure with the Detroit Lions (he was once launched through the staff throughout his rookie coaching camp), Parcells temporarily went into training, beginning out as a linebackers coach at his alma mater, Wichita State.

He as an alternative took a task as an actual property agent and spent a few of his unfastened time that fall as a Broncos season-ticket holder. “I was miserable,” Parcells mentioned in an NFL Films documentary. “That’s about the best way to put it. At some point in time, my wife realized, ‘You’re a coach. Go back to doing what you love doing if you can go do it.'” Parcells in the end were given again into the NFL a yr later with the Patriots. He was once rehired through the Giants in 1981 and was once named the staff’s new head coach two years later.

But as an alternative of leaving the city, Belichick, who had alternative to becoming a member of the Vikings workforce, determined to stick with the Giants. He mentioned that Parcells’ blessing to pursue different alternatives was once probably the most the reason why he determined to stick. “In the end, that probably is what made me want to stay more than anything,” Belichick mentioned in an ESPN documentary. “I said, ‘Bill, I’m not going to Minnesota. I want to be there, and I want to do everything I can to make this work.” Parcells rewarded Belichick’s loyalty when he tabbed Belichick because the Giants’ new defensive coordinator in 1985.

The Giants received the Super Bowl two weeks later. The two made extra historical past 4 years later. Led through the protection, the Giants stunned the 49ers within the 1990 NFC identify recreation thus combating San Francisco from in all probability changing into the primary staff to win 3 consecutive Super Bowls.
