Coach Bill Parcells walked away from professional football today ending 19-seasons as a NFL head coach with 3 SuperBowl appearances, 2 Championships and a career record of 183-138-1 (34-32 with his 4-year tenure at Dallas) becoming 9th on the All-time wins list for NFL Coaches. His greatest ability as a coach was to turn around teams with hap-hazard records and as we see with the success of his proteges: Bill Belicheck (Patriots), Coach of the Year, Sean Payton (New Orleans), Tom Coughlin of the Giants and Cleveland's Coach Romer Crennel, he knows how to groom great football minds.

The Big Tuna didn't hold a press-conference to entertain one last colorful sparing with the sports media, instead he opted to send a simple well-wishing and congratuatory e-mail to thank his players, the team, the Jones and the fans as he hung up his spurs and quietly left for the peaceful life of Saratoga, NY to his new home near the track and other than the memorabila hanging on the wall, a long way from football. Coach Parcells was one hell of a competitor and he will be missed. Enjoy retirement coach!
