First off, when Sean Payton was a Parcells assistant in Dallas, Payton designed a very creative playbook, but Parcells being the arch-conservative that he is, reigned him in, and even ADMITTED he was a "virus" when Sean went to New Orleans 4 years ago.

Anyhow - look at how Parcells' former assistants did over the last decade - Belichick 3 Super Bowls, Coughlin 1 Super Bowl, Payton just won the Super Bowl, his former DC Mike Zimmer has done an outstanding job coaching a somewhat underwhelming Cincy D, just to name a few(I'm sure there are others).

If you look at all the talent Parcells has had on his staff in his early years, surprising how he hasn't had the same success without them late in his career?

I'm not sure I would describe Parcells as an "arch-conservative" in regard to offensive play-calling.

Parcells knows football and has an eye for surround himself with coaching talent. That much is true.

It's tough to win it all, Parcells did it twice and has fielded competitive teams in other seasons. He's done well at developing or at least finding good assistant coaches, give the man his due - he was a good coach. Besides, you've got Wade to kick around now, you should be happy.

Parcells is clearly an excellent talent finder whether that be on or off the field.

Maybe,maybe not. He is probably the greatest talent guy out there. The pats dynasty was made by Parcells.

It's not an accident that his former assistants have won 5 of the last 10 SBs. The guy knows how to find and develop talent, and that's a skill in of itself. It's the one area where Belichick still hasn't shown that he can rival him, really, though he still has plenty of time.

A big part of being a HC is to surround yourself with people that can help you succeed. Parcells' eye for talent in selecting players is well documented, but his talent for recruiting and developing assistant coaches is vastly underrated.

Parcells was also a great motivator and game manager. He had the uncanny ability to recognize the ebb and flow of each game and took risks at opportune times and took the conservative approach when that was the best course of action.

I credit him for turning our franchise to what it is today. He laid the foundation for our dynasty.
