Level:
I heard today that both Parcells and the NY Giants are denying that article I linked you to. Parcells said that is is a " lie" that neither himself nor anyone representing him has had any contact with the Giants. He isn't saying if he is staying in Dallas, but he is firmly denying any " hunting around".
Coughlin ! lol.. I think the guy is a Dominant in coaches clothing. I never knew this until I visited one of the Giants MB this past weekend: He is a wack chop control freak and has a litany of " rules" that players must adhere to. One of them is " no knees showing" in practice, according to posters on the MB. It said that if a player shows up and his pants aren't covering his knees and he doesn't have high socks on, he gets an assistant coach to take them back and get the " proper outfit". Sounded kind of weird to me, so I Googled it, and sure enough.. the man is a control freak. The following is from a 2005 article but gives you a little glimpse, in that article it says the players don't mind it, but the inference on the MB was that this group of players is not at all happy with his controling behavior.
"His dress code is strictly coat and tie, proper attire required even in the hotel lobby, and absolutely no white socks. No TVs in the trainer's room, weight room or equipment room. Team-issued workout gear only in the locker room and at every practice. No towels hanging from the waist. Socks must be mid-calf. No hats or sunglasses in meetings, and no slouching. Players must sit straight up in meetings, feet on the floor, no folded arms or crossed legs."
