  Speaker 3: I've been here just a couple of times to play.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: But no, I haven't been.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Back because I remember, you know, when the border war
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: ended and you did that phone call with the New
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: England media and you said, yeah, you know, I'd love
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to come up sometime and just see a game.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Still wait, I love, We'd love to have you anytime
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: you want.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: You know. You know, So I'm in Florida in the
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: winter late season and in the winter, and uh, I'm
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: racing horses in the summer. Most of the time. Yeah,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: but I do like it here, and I feel good
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: enough to come back and see what's going on.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: That'd be great. That great. I know that.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I know everyone would treat you, you know, like a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: king if you came back. I can tell you. You know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I know Julian Edelman's going in today, but I.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Think Fred and I both believe that this is Bill
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Parcell's dad.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great. And Matt Smith is here too.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Matt is our executive.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: You don't you would never remember this, which I wouldn't.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't blame you.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: But wait, back when in ninety five, when you were
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: doing the TV show, I was doing the TV show,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Mike Lynch.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Mike Clinch, Yeah, you remember that. I got it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Coach, you'd wont two super Bowls.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: You had some health concerns. I think people scratch your heads.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Why did you come back?
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: What was it about coming back that you wanted to
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: come back and white here?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I just loved the profession. And you know, it's if
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: you see yourself as something, which is what I do
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and it's all I ever did. And you know, those
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: health concerns completely disappeared, and I said why not? And
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: so I still enjoy it and that's how I want
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: to do and so I did it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: But you were picky.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: How did James Orthwine convince you to come to the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Patriots because you probably had options.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sure I.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Did have two options. I remember mister Orthwine wasn't the
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: one that really talked me into it. I can't remember
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the name of the fella that came down. I was
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: in Florida. They flew down and we talked down there.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: The then general manager was Patrick Forte. Yeah, he came
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: on the plane playing with us. We talked back and forth,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: got a few things straight and I said, I'll let
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: you know tomorrow. And I knew I was going to
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: do it, I think, and so we got back to it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So Mickey Corkran was your high school coach, and I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: know he was an environmentor to you for a long time.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Did you talk to him before you came here.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he you know, he's a coach at heart.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: He wants to see his boy coaching, right, so because
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: that gives him something to do on Sunday. So he
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: was all for it. You know, I always liked this area.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I live very close to here now and it's been
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: it's been fun. I've always liked to hear and it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: a special place for me.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: So when the when the when the draft was coming
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: around to coach Parcels, you know, I think the alleged prognosticators,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: it's bled Somyer bleds Omayra.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Is that a tough decision for you at the time?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Not for me. I had a little contention with the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: personnel director at the time, named Charlie Army. He was
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: he felt like Meyer was a safer pick. But I
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: watched every pass that Drew blessed so through on film
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: for two years. I watched every pass he threw, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: when I was done with that reel, I was convinced
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: that's who I wanted.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what was it about that reel that?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Well, he's a big, strong guy, six' five or, six
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: whatever it, is and he had a good. Arm they
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: were playing in a passing offense At Washington, state and
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: he had a lot of experience in the passing, game
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and you, know you never know when you. Pick you
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: don't know to ever know exactly what you're. Getting, yeah
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: BUT i thought there was a good chance to be.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Successful he did a good.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Job he sure did the end of the ninety three,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Season coach, parcels when you ran off those wins at the,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: END i think a lot of people here remember The
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: miami game here at the end Of. December he hits
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: A temptson down the sideline with that long pass at
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: that point in. TIME i know it doesn't necessarily carry,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: over but did you were you think of?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yourself you know what we might be onto something? Here you?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: KNOW I i was fairly confident in, team even though
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the record wasn't showing that. YET i KNEW i had
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: enough good, players and we were getting them every year
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: more and. More SO i felt like if we could
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: just keep a good attitude and develop a good toughness
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: and general overall expecting to win kind of, thing that
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: we might have a shot and fair.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Enough one of my crosses to Beer coach is working
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: With Scott zolac. TODAY i Love, zoe But zoe tells
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: me SO i want to know what's accurate or what's not.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Accurate, Okay, well first of, all he's a slight. Exaggerator
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: this is WHERE i want to find out if he's
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: really exaggerating or. Not so the way he tells the story.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Is The minnesota game in ninety, four you guys are
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: down a, Bunch and he said that he went up
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: to you at halftime in the locker room and, said
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: you gotta let the kid call his own, plays AND
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: i think he tells it you looked at him and,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: said you know, what you want to coach the team,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: now and you turn on the hill and walked.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Away he then says that after you.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Meeting you And ray are talking about you know what's
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: going on the second, half that you, said all, right,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: everybody here's the, Deal, drew you're calling your own, plays
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: and that you looked At zoe and, said good. Idea
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: now That's Zoe's in terms of it's pretty.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Close here's what. Happened but first of, ALL i had
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: a little visual prior to. Halftime we had been in
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: a two minute offense for six or seven, minutes SO
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: i had seen That minnesota was just playing one stand
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: defense against, it AND i didn't know whether they had anything.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Else so that's really WHY i agreed to do, it
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: BECAUSE i knew we could hurt that one standard defense
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: because we'd already heard it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Before they, have, RIGHT i think they still play that same.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Defense BUT.
• 7:19
