Bill Belichick, the original Tuna Helper
I posted this in another thread, so here goes...
Same happened with Parcells' 1st year in Dallas-a bad QB(Quincy Carter), a worse RB(Troy Hambrick), and a mediocre DL...they nonetheless overachieved that year to finish 10-6 partly thanks to the lucky bounce of the ball and a few opposing coaches being morons, and not to mention too a joke schedule...and yes, Parcells and OC Sean Payton used some trickery in the playbook to get some success early in the year. They subsequently got bounced out in the WC game by Carolina in a blowout score.
What happened the year after? The mediocre talent on this squad showed its ugly read-end and their record flipped to 6-10. I mean this team was HORRIBLE...getting blown out in alot of their losses. Parcells ripped up the entire 53 man roster afterwards, but it took him 1 year to figure this out.
Sound familiar with the Dolphins this year? I'll bet anyone that this 11-5 record will fool Parcells/Sparano to infinity and they'll be naive enough to keep this roster the way it is. 5-11 next year...book it!
Technically you're not right; in 1984, Parcells' Giants won one Playoff Game before BB became DC. However, in general, I take your point.
Without further ado, here's my annual Parcells with and without Belichick post (and YES, I know it's unfair and YES I know it doesn't acknowledge Parcells' brilliance as a rebuilder of bad franchises, and YES I know that Parcells went to three SB's with three different QB's and two different teams, and YES Parcells still belongs in the HOF and YES I sure wouldn't want to say it to Parcells' face, but it sure is interesting...):
HC Parcells with Belichick as DC or Assistant HC
Regular Season: 105--54
Playoffs: 10--4
Championships: Division 5, Conference 3, SB 2
HC Parcells without Belichick as DC or Assistant HC
Regular Season: 67--69--1
Playoffs: 1--3
Championships: Division 0, Conference 0, SB 0.
Belichick was still with the team, no? I thought he was linebackers coach. He wasn't the DC here in 96 either, Al Groh was, he was an assistant head coach and DB coach.
True... he did hire Belichick so he can't be stupid

No he didn't. This is one of the great myths of BB's career.
You are correct. Ray Perkins was coach of the Giants when BB arrived. Parcells was D coordinator under Perkins.
Parcells kept BB on staff after Perkins went to Alabama for the 1983 season and Parcells became head coach. Parcells was nearly fired after going 3–12–1 in his first year. He did promote BB to coordinator for 1985.
