Parcells vs. Hall of Fame Coaches

Bill Parcells is a finalist for the fourth time (2001, 2002, 2012, and 2013). Prior to last year when Parcells was technically a first-year eligible candidate, he had been a finalist twice before (2001, 2002) following his announced retirement as head coach of the New York Jets in 1999. At the time, the Hall of Fame By-Laws only required a coach to be retired and not the now five-season waiting period. Parcells returned to coach the Dallas Cowboys in 2003 and the five-year waiting period was in effect when he retired from coaching in 2006.

His 183 combined regular and postseason victories would rank him seventh among Hall of Fame coaches. See how Parcells’ career record is broken down among the four teams he coached and how they stack up against the 21 coaches enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
