A football player must feel that his coach truly cares about him, even after committing a series of mistakes.
and had actually looked like a $72 million receiver on the catch, when his head coach decided to offer a public show of support. So a coach who was seen during games ripping his quarterback, blasting a lineman and berating a ref showed his softer side while an 81-year-old fan watched from afar with great interest. Bill Parcells, as stormy a sideline presence as there’s ever been, has been saying for years that “you need to know when to put an arm around a guy.
“You can’t ever let a player go home at night thinking he doesn’t belong,” Parcells said. “It can’t be one way all the time, especially if it’s negative. The players have got to see your human side, too.” So yes, Parcells absolutely believes the sixth-seeded Giants have a chance to knock out the third-seeded Vikings. Before his first postseason game as a head coach, a 16-13 road victory over the Rams in 1984, Parcells convinced his players they could prevail despite their blowout loss to the Rams in Anaheim three months earlier.
“Giants players will believe, ‘If we play well, we will beat these guys,’ ” Parcells said. He will be pulling hard for the upset, in part because he’s never liked the Vikings. He’s always respected their legendary coach, Bud Grant, but he’s just never had any affection for the franchise that Grant made famous.
