    If Belichick didn't want to be "in the shadow" of Parcells, maybe he shouldn't have came here and accepted the job as his coach-in-waiting...
    oh wait, that's right, he did accept it with open arms.

    (probably because nobody else would hire him, and especially not at the generous $1M salary the Jets were giving him)

    ----

    that whole narrative is a garbage lie used by Belichick after the fact. He fucked the Jets over, plain and simple. The worst part is that he knew he was going to fuck the Jets over long before that press conference stunt!!!!

    Belichick was on the phone with Kraft the whole time and trying to poach Charlie Weis as his OC & others FROM the Jets while they were about to name him the head coach of the Jets.

    IF he didn't want the job because of that petty reason of Parcells being his boss, he shoulda been a MAN and told the Jets/Parcells that to their faces so they could've cleaned his desk out for him

    FUCK Belichick

    Taking a leap further, not only did George Allen resemble Nixon slightly, I think they were friends (remember Nixon sending in a play?) and perhaps they also shared that same 'them against us' paranoid mentality that Belichick seems to have.

    I can't wait for the official Bill Belichick autobiography.

    Should be enlightening... :confused:

    It all sounds like some kind of soap opera drama script. Probably because it is. Amazing how many people eat up this meaningless garbage.

    The story with the napkin resignation is that ...

    Belichick and Parcells were getting along fine. And Belichick knew he was the coach-in-waiting (it was in his contract) and had no problem with it. But he wanted to be a head coach and didn't really care where. And New England was offering a head coach job right then. So when he let the Jets know he had been offered the Patriots job, Parcells immediately resigned as coach so Belichick's contract coach-in-waiting clause kicked in and now Belichick was officially the Jets head coach (and therefore he could not take a lateral-move job at New England). This is what pissed Belichick off and caused the rift between him and Parcells. So Belichick resigned on the napkin and left for New England and basically said "sue me."

    So, initially, I don't think Belichick was angry with the Jets ... or even preferred the Patriots job to the Jets job. The issue was that he felt Parcells screwed him without talking to him about what he was going to do. Once that happened, he didn't care about screwing Parcells back by resigning. Now, in Parcells' defense ... (1) it was in Belichick's contract and everyone involved knew and expected him to be the next Jets head coach, and (2) if Parcells had told him what he was thinking - that Parcells would resign to block Belichick from going to New England - Belichick might have immediately signed the Patriots contract and prevented the Jets from utilizing the coach-in-waiting clause.

    The big take-away here is that neither party really trusted the other and the both believed it was at least a possibility that the other person would screw them over when push came to shove.

    Relationships often sour over time. It was well documented that they butted heads, especially near the end.
    Belichick has often spoke of times he called a Defensive play against what Parcels wanted and when the play worked, Parcels would have a fit because he felt he was shown up. Belichick wanted out from under Parcels which was the original understanding, but Parcels stayed on as GM.
    Granted it was for 1 year but Belichick had no way of knowing how long he would be around.

    Part of why BB didn't take the Jets job was Parcells continued involvement (he wanted to do his own thing), but mostly he wanted nothing to do with Johnson or Dolan who were the front runners to get the team.

    I gotta admit that in recent years at times I wonder what woulda been had Belichick stayed here.

    I gotta believe that no one is happier that he went to New England than the Giants.

    Can you imagine if he had stayed here and the Jets had become what the Pats now are? The Giants would've been the B team around here.

    *sigh*

    All that said the Jets still beat New England in 2010 that was our Red Sox-Yankees 2004 moment that was our golden opportunity to win a championship during the Pats run of dominance and they came out flat the following week for a AFC Championship game.

    *sigh*

    Parcells was an egomaniacal asshole. He was a very good HC. He stabbed George Young in the back for buying the groceries that gave him two SB teams to build his future on.

    What Parcells was great at was assembling coaching staffs. More specifically getting a tool like BB to run his Defense.

    I can't blame BB for wanting to get out from under that shadow. That doesn't get him off the hook for creating his own shadow which includes pushing the rules to gain an edge.

    Parcells was the reason BB left. Kraft was probably plotting it since Hess outmaneuvered him years earlier. Johnson was an innocent bystander who got run over by the accident.
