The latest 30 for 30 installment tells the story of their complicated and messy career paths, and the numerous times those paths intersected.
Parcells and Belichick first began working together as assistants in 1979 for the New York Giants. After twenty years of firings, hirings, resignations, and promotions, the bond between the coaching greats would eventually lead to Belichick becoming the New England Patriots’ head coach in 1999, creating the dynasty that exists today. The organization has won five Super Bowls with him calling the shots.
“The Two Bills” goes behind the NFL coaching curtain, showing that their greatness is much more than just game plans and schemes. It’s a combination of moxie, instincts, personal relationships, and a little luck along the way.
