DESCRIPTION:
You are a loser as a coach."Things hit rock bottom when the team went 1-6. You are not winning now and that's what counts. During training camp, two players were arrested after a bar fight. Things grew progressively worse-at one point Parcells had lost nine starters. After all, they had reached the AFC Championship the year before. You think you suck. During 1999, a grueling, difficult season, Parcell's found his resolve and coaching ability tested at every turn.It wasn't supposed to be like that, though.The two-time champion coach who had guided two different teams to the Super Bowl was expected by fans and pundits to drive the New York jets all the way. ButParcells the coaches, and the players would not lie down. But fate would not allow it. In the preseason, respected and longtime owner Leon Hess died, casting a season-long pall of uncertainty over the organization. You're on top of every detail. As unflinching, candid, and tough as the man himself, The Final Season is Bill Parcell's swan song as head coach in the NFL. "If you don't play
When the 1999-2000 season kicked off, hopes were soaring at the Meadowlands. Then came the turnaround. Football genius Bill Parcells isn't one to mince words.

Jerry Jones has since hastened Parcells out of retirement at a hefty salary to jumpstart the formerly mighty Dallas Cowboys as he had earlier. A Must Read for Current and Future Coaches If you're a current football coach or plan to coach at some point in the future, this is a must read. If you're not a coach and simply love football (I fall into this category), you'll definitely enjoy this book. It is a quick read and is very easy to follow. It gives you the opportunity to understand what goes through a head coach's mind throughout an entire football season. Contrary to some of the other reviews, I found the book to be very well structured and put together. P. Final Press Conference as Coach of the Jets Donald Mitchell Whether you love Bill Parcells or hate him, you'll never forget him. This memoir of the 1999 season as head coach of the New York Jets is a pure Parcells press conference with him at his best. No matter whether he wins or loses, he knows how to put his game face on to look good in public. And that's what he did here. But to do that he had to (as usual) rely on play-action offense to draw attention away from what the coach and general manager were doing. As a result, I graded t
