Talk:Bill Parcells

message: Those stupid nicknames are only propagated by one hack radio DJ in the Dallas area.  They are not widely recognized and have no business being in this entry.
-------------------
I suspect some Cowboy fans would be happier if a cyrogenically frozen Tom Landry was reanimated to coach their team
Not really coach Phillips has lead the Cowboys to a tie of their best season ever.
I agree with keeping them out the article.  If the mainstream media (e.g. ESPN, Dallas Cowboys TV/radio network announcers) start using those nicknames (which is doubtful), they can be added back. 71.113.46.139 20:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think Eric Mangini ever worked under Bill Parcells.  Can someone check that out?  I don't think he did.
Oh, never mind, he did work with the Jets when Parcells was coaching.

message: Also, during 2006 he refused to take off his jacket during a game for good luck and recieved [sic.] the flu.
I fixed this to use a little more idiomatic American English -- I don't think I've ever heard of anyone receiving a disease -- but I still have no idea what it's saying.   Usually I associate catching influenza with being too lightly-dressed.   Why on earth would keeping his jacket on lead to him to catch the flu?   Cheers, PhilipR 05:24, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed it the absence of any explanation.   If someone thinks it's an important detail and needs to be in there, fine, but please explain why keeping his jacket on subjected him to the flu.   Also you need to cite sources.   Cheers, PhilipR 05:12, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the explanation.   If you can document that anecdote, feel free to add it back.  But please mention the overheating for the easily-confused like me. :)  - PhilipR 17:25, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flu? 

message: Probably not important enough to be included in the article, but is there a reason why Parcells is the only NFL head coach not to appear in the Madden series of video games? The Dallas coach in the series is just a generic cipher called, well, "Dallas Coach". (Actually "DALLAS COACH", all uppercase). All the other coaches are present and correct, and yet Parcells is completely missing - and he's not even replaced by a "Bill Purcell" or suchlike, so one's attention is drawn to his absence. I'm wondering if there was some kind of union agreement over the rights to use coaches' names and photos or something, and he was the only one who opted out? Or maybe EA Sports didn't offer him enough money, or he's closely linked with a rival series of games, or he intensely dislikes John Madden as a person, or he just plain didn't want to be involved, or something else which might make for an interesting bit of trivia...?
--Parcells is not a member of the NFL Players/Coaches Association. Therefore, EA Sports does not have the rights to use his name in their games.
--and for the record, neither is Bill Bilichick, which is why he is labeled "NE Coach"
Waht about Wade Phillips?  Is he in the Association?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.180.119.61 (talk) 19:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I saw on NFL Network that Bill Parcells has been hired by ESPN as an analyst. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? I was thinking maybe he would take Irvin's job on Sunday NFL Countdown (so I put Parcells name on there.) ESPN made a statement during the 11:00 sportscenter on 2/17 that "Michael Irvin is no longer working at ESPN".Tigersfan1992 18:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is there a link to the "Coors Light" article in the "See Also" section?  Is there some connection between Bill Parcells and Coors Light?  I couldn't find any references to any connection.  If there is a valid reason for this link being present, is should be explained.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abonet (talk • contribs) 16:33, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The article mentions that Parcells turned down the Buccaneers' HC job in 1992, but doesn't mention that he did the same thing in 2002 after Tony Dungy was fired. That needs to be in there. GuySperanza (talk) 13:59, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

message: In the section "Team(s) as a coach/administrator," the dates on the chart become out of alignment with the teams/positions after the year 2000. Would have changed it myself but it appears the page is locked.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.230.5 (talk) 06:21, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it and it got reverted. I guess I'm not the only one with this issue. It's probably because some people have widescreen computers, so each line only takes one line, while I have a normal screen, and they fall out of alignment. This has to be addressed. --67.180.161.183(talk)00:30, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked it on two separate computers, neither or which are wide screen, and the formatting was fine however, there have been issues with Infobox NFL coach so it's going to be switched over to Infobox NFL player to see if that helps. -- The Writer 2.0 Talk 12:28, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
