Re: OT: Parcelss only won 5 Division Titles in 19 seasons
Actually, he did choose the accept the promotion. There was a press conference, BB was at the podium, and he did say he was the NJ Jets coach. Then a week later, he had a press conference where he resigned. Then he was named HC of the Patriots.
You'd have to be a fool to think BB did not know that either the Patriots would make him an offer; or that they already had made him an offer.
And thats why we got penalized draft picks for it.
Now, you can say searching for a new job in the offseason is better than searching for one in the playoffs. But you can't say that BB was "choosing not to accept a promotion"
There is a significant difference between secretly looking for your next job when you are supposed to be preparing for the SB, and choosing not to accept a promotion. Parcells resigned, and BB didn't want the job.
