Bill Parcells was living in self-imposed exile from the National Football League sidelines. He had earned living-legend status after coaching the Giants, Patriots, and Jets from the skid-row district of the NFL and transforming those teams into champions.
The final weeks of the 2002 season found Parcells working as an analyst at the ESPN studios. The Tuna urgently yearned for another lost cause.
In Dallas, Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones was suffering through sleepless nights. Although his once-proud pro football powerhouse traveled beneath a banner that read "America’s Team," it had suffered three straight 5–11 seasons. Bill Parcells and Jones needed each other in the worst kind of way, so a shotgun wedding was performed.
This biography details the saga of how this unlikely partnership amazed the sports world and proves that while the truth is not always stranger than fiction, it’s usually a lot funnier.
