FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – In advance of the annual Patriots Hall of Fame Nomination Committee meeting, scheduled for Thursday, April 3, New England Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft announced the selection of former Head Coach Bill Parcells for induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame as a contributor.
"In the early 1990s, the Patriots were in disarray," said Kraft. "But the hiring of Bill Parcells in 1993, a two-time Super Bowl Champion, brought instant credibility to the franchise. We had never had a head coach with his credentials. He was a master motivator and always got the most out of his players.
