Bill Parcells should be inducted into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame

Before Bill Belichick became the head coach of the New England Patriots in 2000, there was another Bill who was calling the shots in New England: the one and only, Bill Parcells.

Although Parcells’ coaching tenure only lasted for four years from 1993-1996, he has a 32-32 overall record, led the team to a Super Bowl appearance in 1996, and is responsible for drafting what was the start of the first dynasty for the Patriots.

Some of those notable players he selected: Troy Brown (1993), Tedy Bruschi (1996), Willie McGinest (1994), Ty Law (1995), Terry Glenn (1996), and signing Adam Vinatieri as an undrafted rookie free agent in 1996.
