Before coaching in the NFL, Bill Parcells attended Colgate University and was offered a contract by the Philadelphia Phillies his freshman year.

He was drafted in the seventh round by the Detroit Lions but was released by the team before playing a single game. Bill is the only coach to lead four different teams to the playoffs.
