Carlo DeVito skillfully reveals the humanity behind football competitor

GHENT — The name Bill Parcells evokes strong reaction from sports fans, but the legendary New York Giants head coach has secured his place in NFL immortality due to his Super Bowl victories and fiery personality.

Parcells’ relentless work ethic has transformed franchises on the verge of the abyss to contenders and local author Carlo DeVito accepted the challenge to craft an engaging biography of the man otherwise referred to as Big Tuna.

“People didn’t realize how private of a person he was. My biggest challenge was to portray him as a three-dimensional character and finding people who would help me try to unlock keys to this personal life,” reflected Ghent resident Carlo DeVito.

No stranger to the world of publishing, DeVito has written several books on sports figures and his other passion, wine. DeVito and his wife Dominique own Hudson-Chatham Winery in Ghent.



Research for “Parcells: A Biography” took two years, as DeVito navigated through anecdotes, statistics and artifacts to present the man that has left an undeniable mark on the NFL.

“Parcells has proven he can win with differently styled teams. I think one of the many marks he left on the NFL is his family tree, so to speak. Look at the records of today’s coaches that he worked with,” said DeVito.

Tracing Parcells’ football lineage revealed impressive relationships with disciples Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, and Tom Coughlin. Belichick has won three Super Bowls with the New England Patriots; Payton captured the only title in New Orleans Saints’ history in 2009; and Coughlin’s Giants stunned the world in 2007 after toppling the undefeated Patriots for the Super Bowl title.

“Without a doubt, Parcells resurrected Sean Payton’s career, who was the offensive coordinator with the Giants. They just didn’t know what to do with him so Parcells recruited him in Dallas, which ultimately led to his recommendation to coach the Saints. Parcells’ ability to motivate and facilitate talent was amazing,” said DeVito.

Parcells’ eye for talent was not strictly limited to coaches. He developed players Lawrence Taylor, Phil Simms, Jeff Hostetler, Chad Pennington and even Tony Romo, whose Dallas Cowboys are still in the running for an NFC East Division title as of press time. DeVito recounted some of his favorite polarizing moments in Parcells’ history.

“After winning titles with the Giants and going to the Dallas Cowboys, an arch rival of the Giants, many people were mixed about that. For me, the chance to coach a franchise as storied as the Cowboys was something nobody should pass up. When Parcells was there, he turned them into a formidable team and one thing he had was the ability to recognize talent and maximize it. Another moment was when he left the New York Jets coaching position to take a job with the hated Miami Dolphins, taking Jets quarterback Chad Pennington with him after the Jets signed Brett Favre.”

Pennington ended up beating his former team on the last game of the season and the 2008 Dolphins finished 11-5. Chad Pennington was recognized as 2008’s NFL “Comeback Player of The Year.” The Dolphins finished 1-15 the previous season.

“You couldn’t write a story better than that,” laughed DeVito.

DeVito added that Parcells had a hand in drafting Pennington, another branch to the coach’s NFL family tree.

“He does hold the record for completion percentage and I really think he was a class act,” DeVito said of Pennington.

DeVito remarked that the game has changed dramatically, but due to Parcells’ dedication, he would have no trouble earning victories in today’s pass-happy, media-saturated NFL.

“This is one of the many reasons why he was a compelling subject for me. He was consistent, which is something a lot of today’s teams lack. With Taylor on the Giants, Parcells changed the makeup of defenses and it’s a copycat league and people recognized his talent. You may have teams today with top-rated offenses, but their defenses are not so great. Look at the Patriots. Parcells is a proven winner and what I learned in my research for the book was how he pushed people’s buttons to get you to be your best. He was so fascinated by the game within the game and he knows how to speak to his players to make them succeed. But, as we all know, he could also be an outright jerk,” said DeVito.

Asked how he attempted to humanize Parcells in the book, DeVito focused heavily on the coach’s desire to help players improve their lives by conquering substance abuse.

“Just to educate himself and have a better understanding of what people were up against he actually checked himself into a rehabilitation facility. He got their families involved by helping them encourage his players by telling them how much he needed them,” said DeVito.

DeVito cited that Parcells pushed for mandatory drug testing in the league, worked tirelessly to assist legend Lawrence Taylor lead a healthy lifestyle, and how the Giants once had a reputation for drug abuse.

“A lot of people have overlooked that while assessing Parcells’ legacy. He was very disciplined but he looked out for players.”

In his book, DeVito cites Parcells as a turnaround artist, “a Rainmaker” and “No matter how much you loathed him or loved him, you had to admit it was fun watching him do it.”

“For me, the best Super Bowl was in 1990. Nobody favored the Giants to win but the road getting there was dramatic in itself; beating Joe Montana and the 49ers in the playoffs was thrilling.

The conclusion of the Super Bowl with the Bills’ Scott Norwood missing the field goal, wide right. They came up with a plan for the ages and it took all of Parcells’ know-how with a backup quarterback to win. That really stood out.”

The Giants had lost starter Phil Simms to injury earlier in the season and Jeff Hostetler rose to the challenge and finished the team’s dramatic road to victory. The Giants defeated the Buffalo Bills 20-19 as time expired to win Super Bowl XXV.

Despite Parcells leaving the league in 2010, DeVito adamantly believes his legacy lives on.

“You can hear people quoting him all the time. I think the Giants coach Tom Coughlin resembles him. Coughlin is a no-nonsense guy who wants to win, period, but without all of the drama. I also think the Saints’ Sean Payton resembles the cerebral side of Parcells.”

DeVito works to apply some of Parcells’ work ethic into his own life, taking motivational cues from the legendary coach.

“I’m a motivated guy. I work for Sterling Publishing and own Hudson-Chatham Winery. How do you work to beat back the fatigue and reinvent yourself? That is something coaches deal with and something that I have learned.”

TAMPA BAY TRIBUNE LOVES PARCELLS : A BIOGRAPHY

Bob D’Angelo is a longtime member of the Florida sports media, having served as a reporter and copy editor for more than 30 years. His true sports passion, however, is the history of the various games, exhibited by his in-depth book reviews and hobby of collecting cards and other sports memorabilia. He blogs for TBO.com on both subjects, transferring his work for the Tampa Tribune to the realm of cyberspace.


Parcells presented in a sharper focus
Posted Dec 8, 2011 by Bob D'Angelo
Updated Dec 8, 2011 at 08:46 PM

Bill Parcells had a connection to Tampa long before he coached the Giants to victory in Super Bowl XXV at Tampa Stadium. And long before he had two uneasy flirtations with the Bucs.

His college coach at Wichita State in 1962-63 was Marcelino “Chelo” Huerta, the longtime Hillsborough High School and University of Tampa football coach.

Tampa football fans knew that already. But it is one of the many nuggets of information meticulously presented by Carlo DeVito in “Parcells: A Biography” (Triumph Books, $24.95, hardback, 350 pages). DeVito scanned more than 4,000 original sources (including 2,000 interviews) and presents a deeper picture of the former NFL coach than we are accustomed to.

The Parcells persona is well-known: sarcastic and blunt, a guy who keeps his real thoughts close to the vest. A guy who likes to give the needle. Or, as DeVito quotes Parcells’ mother Ida, “He likes to stir the pot.”

This is an unauthorized biography; when DeVito approached Parcells’ agent about doing book, he was “met with silence.” That is actually liberating, because that allowed DeVito to check sources, read articles, do research and interview people who liked and disliked Parcells. Thanks to the agents’ silence, we get a more rounded picture of the Big Tuna. I should note that DeVito is a New York Giants fan, but will add that such loyalty did not impede his ability to write a balanced biography.

Parcells guided the Giants to a pair of Super Bowl titles, including a 20-19 thriller against the Buffalo Bills at Tampa Stadium in January 1991. Parcells had taken the Giants from the depths of mediocrity in the mid-1980s and had turned them into contenders.

“If football is not the most important thing in your life, he’ll weed you out,” DeVito quotes the Giants’ Jumbo Elliott as saying about Parcells.

Parcells left coaching after that Super Bowl, but rumors began to fly in late 1991 that he might take over as the Bucs coach. As former Bucs beat writer Nick Pugliese told me this week, covering this story caused “many sleepless nights.” As a copy editor on The Tampa Tribune’s sports desk, I recall having to call Nick on Christmas Eve 1991 to tell him about a new angle on the story that needed to be covered. Merry Christmas!

Parcells was all set to take the job, and in fact, Tribune headlines touted that it was a “done deal.” Unfortunately, Parcells changed his mind at 11 p.m. and called Bucs owner Hugh Culverhouse, backing out of the deal. That action led Culverhouse to utter his famous “jilted at the altar” comment, which, in the mundane world of quotes by NFL owners and coaches, was a pretty snappy retort.

Bucs-Parcells is a fascinating story line, but here is where DeVito’s research betrays him a little bit. In relating this episode, he relies on material from the Orlando Sentinel. I am going to be provincial here and say sorry, the best information he could have gleaned would have been from Pugliese’s work at the Tribune and from the efforts of Rick Stroud, the St. Petersburg Times’ Bucs beat writer. Both writers battled hard to get the story, and as Pugliese told me “the Tribune and the Times would go back and forth on it every day” in terms of who had the story of the day.

A minor point in the book, but an interesting one to pounce on here locally.

DeVito also chronicles Parcells’ second flirtation with the Bucs in 2002 and tells a fascinating story.

DeVito labels Parcells as a “Rainmaker,” who takes over a team and then moves on.

After coaching the Giants, Parcells coached the New England Patriots, New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys and was a consultant for the Miami Dolphins. In most cases, he left the franchises in better shape than they were when he arrived.

“Like all rainmakers, he eventually leaves,” DeVito writes.

DeVito tells a good story and gives the reader a sense of Parcells’ youth and the people who influenced him, including his father, Charles “Chubby” Parcells, and his coach as a youth, Mickey Corcoran. He details Parcells’ years as an assistant at Wichita State, Army, Florida State, Vanderbilt, Texas Tech, and his tough season as head coach at Air Force (“It took me only three months to know I had made a mistake,” Parcells said.).

Parcells eventually will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was defensive-minded, switching the Giants from a 4-3 to a 3-4 alignment. With assistants like Bill Belichick and Romeo Crennel, Parcells would employ a fast, hard-hitting defense.

On offense, Parcells loved nothing better than a grinding offense. Not pretty to watch, but that kind of offense ate up huge chunks of time and proved to be a decisive factor in Super Bowl XXV (one long drive took 9:29 to complete).

DeVito puts Parcells’ career in perspective and gives the reader a richer, fuller look at one of the NFL’s most dominating personalities — and coach.

BLEACHER REPORTS LOVES PARCELLS: A BIOGRAPHY

New Parcells Biography Uncans "Big Tuna"
By Jerry Milani
(Featured Columnist) on December 12, 2011

In his more than three decades coaching in the pros (and for much of the preceding 15 years or so in the college ranks), Bill Parcells pretty much had his way. So what would a full biography be like if it were done without his cooperation?

As it turns out, surprisingly thorough, and quite complimentary.

In his new book, Parcells: A Biography, author Carlo DeVito—whose roster of biographies includes the likes of D. Wayne Lukas, Wellington Mara, Yogi Berra and Phil Rizzuto—looks past the dominant personality of the football coach known (mostly) affectionately as the "Big Tuna," and explores some areas of his life heretofore unpublished.

DeVito recently spoke with Bleacher Report about Parcells (Triumph Books, 384 pps.).



B/R: How cooperative was Parcells about the biography?

CD: He was not cooperative at all (laughs)! That's both good and bad. He didn't cooperate, but I was able to speak to many people from throughout his life, from Mickey Corcoran (Parcells' high school coach), all the way to Giants and Patriots. I did a lot of interviews with his college players. A lot of people forget how long he spent in the college ranks. They gave me a treasure trove of information.



BR: Parcells is a complex guy. What is the biggest thing that fans don't know that they'll learn about him?

CD: For me, it's about his family. He kept his private life during his public years very private. This is, from a number of different resources, the most complete picture of his life that anyone has every seen. It starts off in Hackensack (N.J.), talks about his father, who was an All-American at Georgetown where he held school and NCAA records for many years. It really gets into the dynamic between Parcells and his two brothers, between father and sons, all of whom played Division I football.


B/R: How did this dynamic work?

CD: Coach Corcoran told me that Bill was the best athlete of all of them. He led the state in scoring his senior year, was drafted by Detroit and offered twice by the Philadelphia Phillies as a pitcher, and still considered one of the best pitchers in his era. It's a very driven family. The "least" successful brother is Doug, and he has one of the largest recreational parks in New Jersey named for him. Don, the middle brother, was the president of First Fidelity Bank, went to West Point, played in the Army-Navy game against Roger Staubach three times. His father was a very brilliant man, successful, single minded, business focused, so you can see how strong an influence this was on Parcells.


B/R: So he's a typical "Jersey Guy," then?

CD: I always thought that "Jersey Guy" thing was hokey, but when you start to put the family life together with his personal background, no matter how far any of the brothers traveled, they never left Bergen County, where they drew their personality from, as home.



B/R: What is it about him that makes him such a good motivator?

CD: One thing I was fascinated by, talking to people and hearing their stories, a lot of times people thought he was just a big gasbag of hot air, but in reality, he was a tremendous motivator. He used any trick he could, and in many cases I don't think they were really tricks. Some were very heartfelt. There were times when he would call in a player's family and ask what he could do to motivate a guy, individually. He helped men with drug problems—once he found out someone was using drugs, he tried to work with him, he said, "Here's the deal, I'll call you mother. You need to deal with this now or it will ruin your life." They didn't want that.



B/R: But of course there were some kicks in the butt, too...

CD: Of course. He'd go up to [linebacker] Harry Carson, for example, and say, "[lineman Jim] Burt have been having a terrible practice, you've got to get on him." He'd say that right in front of Burt. Carson was definitely one of his favorites, but you had to be tough to be a Parcells favorite, because he would pound on you the most. Guys like Taylor, Burt, [Patriots QB Drew] Bledsoe, [Giants QB Phil] Simms, [Dolphins linebacker Bryan] Cox, if he was mad he'd take it out on them, knowing that he had their back and they could take it for the team. It was a dual edged sword to be a favorite.


B/R: That sounds like some other coaches in his lineage...

CD: For sure. Mickey Corcoran did the same. Corcoran had been a player for Vince Lombardi. So there's a direct linkage to Lombardi, and many of the methods are similar.


B/R: Is Parcells the best coach of his generation?

CD: That's a tough call. He achieved things that no one else has: He took three different teams to Conference Championship games, and a team from each conference to the Super Bowl. These events certainly put him in a category where few have gone. But what gets lost in this is what he did as an innovator on the defensive side. He came up with different schemes to use this new weapon—Lawrence Taylor—in a way nobody had before. The NFL is a league where imitation is everything, and they saw what Parcells was doing with Taylor, and teams copied these defensive schemes. Best? I'm not sure. But he's certainly one of the most influential of his era. He'd be successful in any year.

BIG LEAD SPORTS LIKES PARCELLS: A BIOGRAPHY

As NFL Playoffs Loom, Parcells Presence Still Felt In New York, Dallas, New England
BigLeadSports : Features, Books, NFL BigLeadSports
December 23rd. 2011, 5:23pm

With the New York Giants and New York Jets playing each other today at MetLife Stadium in a battle for playoff positions, one man’s name is on the mind of many fans: Bill Parcells.

Parcells was head coach of the Giants from 1983-1990, guiding them to victory in Super Bowl XXI and Super Bowl XXV (“wide right”). And from 1997-99 he was head coach of the Jets, leading them to a record of 37-19.

Ironically, he also was head coach of the two teams regarded as the biggest foes of the Giants and Jets: the Dallas Cowboys (2003-06) and New England Patriots (1993-96), respectively.

He also was head coach of the Miami Dolphins (2003-06) and then evp-football operations (2008-10).

Parcells impact is still being felt. Among the coaches he employed on his staffs are current head coaches Tom Coughlin, Sean Payton, Bill Belichick and Romeo Crennell; and recently fired head coaches Tony Sparano and Todd Haley.

Given the opportunity, would Parcells, aka “Big Tuna” and currently an analyst for ESPN, return to the head coaching ranks? Is he still driven enough to spend the 24/7/365 time needed to succeed in the NFL?

Carlo DeVito may have some of those answers. His new book, Parcells (Triumph), takes fans through the career of the Hall of Fame head coach, from high school through a nomadic college career to the pinnacle of the NFL. Big Lead Sports spoke with DeVito, whose other books include bios on Yogi Berra, Phil “Scooter” Rizzuto and Wellington Mara and the Mara family.

Big Lead Sports: Do you think Parcells would ever coach again and, if so, where?

Carlo DeVito: I don’t think he’d coach again. I think if someone offered him another Miami-type situation again, he might consider it. He likes mentoring. Like [Vince] Lombardi, with Parcells, it’s always been about winning football games, yes, but about coaching young men too. I think if one of this year’s floundering organizations offered him a head of football operations job, he would seriously consider it. Kansas City, Jacksonville, and Miami are all in trouble right now. I don’t think he’d go back to Miami, obviously, but I wonder if he would consider the other two. Especially Kansas City, since some of his guys are already there.

BLS: Teams seem to flounder after he leaves. Why is that?

CD: I think it’s a number of things. Over all, I think he’s hard to replace. His drive, his motivation techniques, his demands for intensity and focus. Certainly when he’s there, things usually go on an upside. I think a lot of football decisions get made that he has nothing to do with once he’s gone. Coaching philosophies change. Personnel changes almost always happen. When he was with the Jets he had one of the best drafts anyone ever had, drafting a number of pro bowl players, and including Chad Pennington. After he left the Jets, many of those players were gone. That’s not his fault. The Jets in the final insult released Pennington whom he picked up while he was with the Dolphins, and beat the Jets with in the final game of that season with their own cast off of his drafting. So, personally, I think he’s hard to replace.

BLS: What is his football legacy?

CD: If football isn’t your life, he will weed you out. That was the mantra over and over from the players and coaches. He was very honest when he said that he had a very single, narrow focus in his life (possibly to his own detriment), but that kind of focus and dedication are what a whole legion of players, coaches, and executives bring forward with them. Parcells quotes abound in war rooms, coaches meetings, and coach/player conversations. “You are what your record says you are” “It’s always darkest before it goes pitchblack” lots of sayings. But his focus is what peopel remember him most for. His work ethic. His desire to out work the opponent both physically and mentally.

BLS: What did you uncover about his relationships with players that fans might not know?

CD: One thing is that Parcells has met with more families than people really know. He very much took his relationships with his players seriously. There was one time when he had a player who had a drug habit, and he basically said to this young man, that the situation was beyond football, that they were in a fight for his very life, and Parcells called the player’s mother, who did not know about her son’s problem, which was devastating to the player, but it was what he needed to confront his demons. Other times he would call on a family to help him encourage or coach up a player. He relied heavily on those relationships, trying to get the very best out of player by understanding them as well as he could.

BLS: Did players respect him despite – or maybe because of – his hard approach?

CD: Many players, no matter how rough he was on them, came to respect him later on in lfe. Jim Burt was the best example. He beat Burt mentally while he was ith the Giants. And he eventually released Burt. Burt signed on with the 49ers and played several more years. Burt was bitter at first, but eventually became a big fan of Parcells, because he instilled a set of values in Burt that he later came to treasure. Burt has since been a big and personal fan of Parcells. That kind of story has played itself out in Parcells life many times. Terry Glenn. Drew Bledsoe. The list goes on.

BLS: What did you find out about Parcells’ life away from the football field that might surprise people?

CD: What I was most surprised was by his family history, which I always find fascinating. His father, Chubby Parcells, was perhaps the best athlete ever to come out of Hackensack, NJ. He was a star football player at Georgetown. He held several NCAA football records for years. Became an FBI agent, and then was a legal counsel for Uniroyal for decades. Smart, bright, well liked. He knew Vince Lombardi as a neighbor. He had three sons. Don was 15 months younger than Bill, who was the oldest. Doug was the youngest. All three sons played Division I football. All three were very successful. The least financially successful, Doug, is a legend in North Jersey, and has one of the largest recreational parks in the state named after him. Don (who was the best football player) was running back at West Point, played in the Army-Navy game against Roger Staubach (his picture appeared in papers across the country, like his father), and became the president of First Fidelity Bank, which was among the nation’s largest banks. He literally made millions, before he diead of brain cancer.

BLS: How important was this union with his brothers and father?

CD: The four men had a single-minded focus that allowed them to succeed in almost any arena. His father bred in all of them a mental toughness and demanded excellence in all aspects of their lives. That family dynamic is very important in Parcells personal make-up. Many of his most memorable sayings came from his father. These four men, no matter where they travelled, never left Bergen County, NJ.

BLS: When you look at the people about whom you have written, what is the trait they all have that makes them such good topics?

CD: I love people who overcome all obstacles, no matter their severity. The Maras made money their first year with the Giants, and then lost money the next seven years. And with every challenge to the NFL by a rival league, they always bore the heaviest blow. And still they perservered. The Giants eventually were the first NFL franchise valued over $1 million. Both Yogi and Rizzuto were both misfits – way too small by professional sports standards, neither of whom finished high school, who were not terribly well spoken, who both went on to defy the odds, who by all odds, accomplished more than many other men in that sport – both Hall of Famers, both ended up their lives incredibly wealthy by good investments after baseball, and both had solid and successful careers after their playing days were over – (Yogi, coaching; Scooter, broadcasting).

BLS: How does your view of Parcells fit in with this?

CD: With Parcells, he spent 15 years gypsying around college football before he finally got his chance to coach professionally. He almost gave up on his dream, taking a year off to sell commercial real estate (at which he was successful), and over coming one of the worst seasons in Giants franchise history, only to go on to be one of the most successful coaches in NFL history. How can you not like that?
