Parcells had his teams better prepared, more disciplined, and more focused than Wade's teams, but Parcells' teams were held back by Parcells on offense and Zimmer on defense.So?
65 year old Bill Parcells did ten times the coaching job that Wade Phillips did during their respective tenures yet Phillips had the better record.
Xs and Os are part of coaching and Wade had more success on the defensive side of the ball because of that, and a single great season with Sparano and Garrett co-coordinating the offense.
In the end Parcells was what his record said he was, an old coach who could still do some great things but who didn't have it in him to bring it all together any more.
Wade is what his record says he is. He's a guy who gets great results in his first couple of years somewhere, but whose arrow is always pointing down.
