Breaking: Bill Parcells retires

**40sondacurb** · 01-22-2007, 11:10 AM

"Bill Parcells retired from coaching Monday, leaving the
Dallas Cowboys after four seasons and ending a stellar career that featured three Super Bowl appearances and two championships.

The decision came 15 days after the Cowboys' season ended with a heartbreaking playoff loss in Seattle. He'd been at his office nearly every day since, and there were other indications that the 65-year-old coach was returning for a fifth year in Dallas and 20th as an NFL head coach.

Instead, Parcells released a statement saying: "I am retiring from coaching football.""

For good this time??

As long as he is healthy, someone will give him a chance if he wants it.

People kind of saw it coming. Parcells doesn't want to have to babysit TO anymore and he's stated in the past that there are things he wants to do after football.
