Texas Tech basketball coach Bob Knight and recently retired Cowboys coach Bill Parcells are old friends, dating back to the 1960s, when both men coached at Army. Knight says he knows why Parcells retired:
"How'd you like to coach Terrell Owens?" Knight said. "Terrell Owens would have gotten me out of coaching a hell of a lot quicker than he got Parcells out of it."
Although they're a lot alike, I think that's the biggest difference between Parcells and Knight: Parcells can put up with a guy like Owens for at least a year, whereas Knight wouldn't be able to put up with Owens for five minutes. Owens has already compared Parcells to his grandmother, but somehow I doubt Owens would ever compare Knight to his grandmother. Unless his grandmother throws chair and chokes people.
