What is Bill Parcells winning percentage? ›

Bill Parcells (born August 22, 1941, Englewood, New Jersey, U.S.) is an American professional gridiron football coach and executive who coached the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL) to Super Bowl victories in 1987 and 1991.

Bill Parcells came back to coaching for the final time in 2003 when he became the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

One of Parcells' greatest attributes as a coach was his ability to have success with franchises that had been struggling to do so prior to his arrival. New York had just one winning season from 1973-83 until Parcells guided the Giants to their first of three consecutive playoff berths in 1984.

In his interview with Mike and The Mad Dog, Bill Parcells stated that his reason for stepping down as head coach was not about the losses. It was more about all of the long hours he no longer could put in, because he is getting older.

Shortly after arriving there, Parcells met Judy Goss, a secretary in the school's sports information office. The two were married, and their first of three daughters, Suzy, was born before Bill graduated in 1964.

"At first they were going to call him the Big Kahuna, but that was too much to say, so they shortened it to the Tuna," suggested John Botelho, a Somerset musician. Mr. Parcells' physique was criticized, and provided a ready answer for the sobriquet.

Belichick is a descendant of the Bill Parcells coaching tree. He began his coaching career in 1975 as an assistant for the Baltimore Colts and became the defensive coordinator for New York Giants head coach Bill Parcells by 1985.
