Jags Fourth Down Efficiency: 1-4
It finally got Belichick out from under Bill Parcells' shadow. Had Belichick stayed on to coach the Jets, it would have been a farce because no matter how it turned out, Parcells would have still been perceived as the mastermind, pulling the strings from his "consultant" position.
Consider that of the three times Parcells went to the Super Bowl, he had Bill Belichick running his defense each and every time. Parcells has never been to the Super Bowl without Belichick but Belichick has gone three more times without Parcells. Now we know why Parcells made Belichick the highest paid assistant coach in NFL history - he couldn't afford to have him leave!
>>Well the infamous "I resign as HC of the NYJ" episode has turned out to be one of the best career moves of all time.
It finally got Belichick out from under Bill Parcells' shadow.
Yes. As I remember right there was a big interview of Bill
Parcells on 60 Minutes, helping to spotlight the handoff
to Belichick...and then the next day came the word of
Belichick refusing to accept to position, or resigning on
the first day...and the famed NY Post BELICHICKEN headline.
A friend of mine in Ohio said that during his Browns days,
Bill was sometimes called Bill Dullichick :)
CORRECTAMUNDO.
Belichick is one of a kind, and me being a Steeler fan don't ever like seeing him as the opposing coach................ same goes for the genius QB, Brady!
