Bill Parcells, the former New York Giants head coach, recalled his mother's blunt reaction when he landed the job: "When are you going to get a real job?" The anecdote resurfaced during Parcells' enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 3, 2013, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio.
Parcells, who led the Giants to two Super Bowl victories, was inducted alongside other legends. The ceremony highlighted his coaching career, which also included stints with the New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Dallas Cowboys.
