DMN Blog: Jerry on Parcells, Part 1,567,997
According to the upcoming book, “The GM: The Inside Story of a Dream Job and the Nightmares that Go with It,” which was obtained by the New York Daily News, former coach Bill Parcells met with a former colleague before the Giants-Cowboys game last December at Giants Stadium and expressed possible interest in the soon-to-be-vacated general manager’s job.
As part of a renegotiation after the 2005 season, according to Jones, Parcells could seek a GM job elsewhere in 2007 but he could not coach another team. Jones does not believe that affected Parcells’ coaching performance.
“The one thing that I never questioned and I admired him for was his focus and his attention to detail not only on gameday but other days as well,” Jones said. “He basically could have been just making sure at the time, but I don’t question his focus and his intensity for that game. That didn’t happen.”
