Very much agreed. I've always maintained that with Parcells, we beat the Giants in the playoffs in 2007. Then the Championship game is in Dallas.Parcells absolutely righted this organization.
Parcells took over a team that went 5-11 three straight years. Beginning in Parcells' final year, we made the playoffs 3 out of 4 years, had a number one seed once, and won a playoff game.
We had 15 wins total in the 3 years prior to Parcells. We had I think 33 wins total in the 3 years after Parcells left.
It's a shame he walked away after the 2006 season, because I think there's a real chance we'd have found ourselves in the super bowl in 2007 under Parcells.
We were in much better shape when he left than when he got here. He absolutely righted this organization.
Now, beating the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl? A different matter. But still.
That Parcells Final Ride documentary, he says, "I just couldn't make myself do it anymore." It's a terrible shame.
