Duane Charles "Bill" Parcells (born August 22, 1941 in Englewood, New Jersey), nicknamed "The Big Tuna", is an American football head coach for the Dallas Cowboys and is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.
Parcells, along with a stifling 3-4 defense known as Big Blue led by Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, Harry Carson, and Leonard Marshall, and an offense under the direction of Phil Simms, crushed the San Francisco 49ers, 49-3, and the Washington Redskins, 17-0, in the playoffs before routing the Denver Broncos, 39-20, in Super Bowl XXI.
Parcells drafted these two in the hopes of jumpstarting the team's transition from the traditional 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense, which he believes favors the talents (power over speed and athleticism) of the current lineup.
