Pat Kirwin of NFL.com wrote that there might have been a sentiment in the voting room that Bill Parcells might work in the NFL again as a team president, which could've made some voters reluctant to put him in Canton right now. There also will be some speculation that Parcells rubbed some of the media the wrong way during his career, derailing his chances of a first-year election. Parcells won two Super Bowls with the Giants, won an AFC championship with the Patriots, led the Jets to the AFC title game and might have done the same for the Cowboys in the NFC if Tony Romo hadn't bobbled the snap on a chip-shot field goal.
