Bill Parcells Retires

Bill Parcells retired from coaching Monday, leaving the Dallas Cowboys after four seasons and ending a career that featured three Super Bowl appearances and two championships.

The decision came 15 days after the Cowboys' season ended with a heartbreaking playoff loss in Seattle. He'd been at his office nearly every day since, and there were other indications that the 65-year-old coach was returning for a fifth year in Dallas and 20th as an NFL head coach.
