In 1992, Parcells made a handshake agreement to become head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At the last minute, Parcells opted not to take the job. Parcells did not feel the situation was right for him at that time. Tampa Bay owner Hugh Culverhouse said, "I feel like I've been jilted at the altar."[3]

Parcells left the Patriots after disagreements with owner Robert Kraft; Parcells felt he did not have enough input into player personnel decisions. Upon his departure, Parcells stated: "If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries." This was mainly in reference to an incident in the Patriots' war room during the 1996 Draft where Parcells, who wanted to draft a defensive player with their first-round choice, was vetoed by Kraft, and the Patriots selected Ohio State WR Terry Glenn.

In 1999, expectations were high for the Jets to go to the Super Bowl. However, quarterback Vinny Testaverde ruptured his achilles tendon in the Jets home opener and the season went downhill from there. After starting the season 1-6, the Jets won 3 straight and faced the Indianapolis Colts. Parcells emphasized the importance of not obtaining a "7th loss" but they did lose to the Colts and then to the New York Giants the following week. At 4-8, the Jets were in danger of finishing below .500. Remarkably, the Jets would finish 8-8, but out of the playoffs. In 1999, Bill Parcells retired from football for the second time, vowing that he would not coach again. He remained with the Jets one more year as general manager.

Third retirement
Parcells would have entered the final year of his contract with the Cowboys in 2007, and had been facing questions all year as to whether he would return to the Cowboys to coach his final season. With his 0-2 playoff record over four years as coach of Dallas, many have begun to wonder if the game has simply "passed him by". Immediately following the Cowboys' loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Parcells said that he was unsure if he would return in 2007, and the rumors about Parcells's future escalated..

On January 9, the Newark Star Ledger reported through anonymous sources that Parcells had contacted the New York Giants about their available General Manager position, but the Giants are reportedly not interested in Parcells' services.[4] Parcells, the next day, quickly refuted any interest in the Giants GM position stating, "There is absolutely nothing to it. Whoever said it is a liar." [5]

On January 22, 2007 he announced his retirement as head coach of the Cowboys after 4 years, apparently ending his coaching career.

Then we know he back-stabbed Atlanta and backed out on yet another deal he had agreed to.

That's five consecutive jobs Bill Parcells has quit early or simply dishonored.

I say he last two years max, at Miami, before he quits again.

well they will be better than they are now in two years if that's the case. anyone who wouldn't want a guy with his record of building teams(assuming that the team he goes to is bad) would be crazy.



His original contract with the cowboys was 4.....and that's what he said he envisioned when he first came on board for that job. Jones extended the contract after the 3rd year (which is typical for any coach or player to recieve for their services as a contract year is getting close) I don't think he quit on the cowboys. If he would of left the 2nd or 3rd year then i would of said he went against his what he said in the begining.
As far as the NYG GM position......I don't know if it's true or not. I guess if a NY paper reported it it must be. but I wouldn't blame him if he thought about it.

Lorenzo, Bill was 34-30 in 4 years with the felons. His best season was the first, when he went 10-6 with players he inherited. He was 0-2 in the playoffs and he never once won the NFCE.

10-6 0-1
6-10
9-7
9-7 0-1 were his Dallas records. Then he quit. Why?

He gets credit for building a team with superb RBs. Huh? Julius Jones? I saw every game he played in college. I'm not impressed.

Marion Barber? He doesn't even start. We'll talk more if he becomes a 25 carry a game workhorse averaging over 4 ypc.

Brought in WRs with impact? TO? He hated him. Jones brought him in.
Patrick Crayton? Please.
Terry Glenn? He's good. Also old and very injured.

Romo and Witten were very good pickups. Demarcus Ware too.

Parcells hit on a few, then quit. And now, he's suddenly back in football again.

I don't think anyone has any illusions about which back is the better of the two, but I like the idea of a team being able to split it's load and increasing the odds of both players being healthy in the long run.
