During his 19-year-career as head coach of the Giants, Patriots, Jets and Cowboys, Bill Parcells became known as much for his exacting personality as his on-field success. Here was a man who could win two Super Bowls and three conference titles while coining aphorisms such as, “You are what your record says you are.”
However, a forthcoming book appears to support the notion that Parcells has a big heart in spite of the rigid exterior he projected to the football world.
Gary Myers, a longtime writer for The New York Daily News, The Dallas Morning News and other outlets, claimed Friday that Parcells has loaned $4 million over the years to former Giants in need.
