Parcells - biggest jerk of all coaches?

I posted because Parcells completely blew off Gibbs - he didn't go to midfield and refused to even wave to Gibbs after the game. That is a classless move.

IMPORTANT PART OF THE POST: When I posted originally, that is what the commentators said happened. This isn't a "Parcells gave him a limp handshake and gave Gibbs a mean look" post. There is nothing inferential to dissect regarding what happened. I thought it was important. Feel free to disagree, but don't presume you are right on a matter of opinion.

HOWEVER, once I saw the replay, I immediately posted this:


So, if you understand, great. If not, as I said before, there is no reason to dwell.

All Hail!

Fair enough, I wasn't sure if you knew they did shake hands eventually. Even if they didn't it wasn't an issue in my mind, but to each his own.

Frankly, I liked what Buddy Ryan used to do as the HC of thge Eagles and the Cardinals. Win, lose or draw, Ryan just jogged off the field at the end. He didn't go to shake hands or wave at the other guy or flip him the bird or anything. He just put his head down and jogged to the locker room.

At that point in the day, his job was done. It was "Miller Time". All the "ceremony" of a handshake and that kind of stuff is forced most of the time so he just ignored it. And he ignored it with EVERYONE in EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE.

If all coaches did that, we wouldn't have these kinds of threads... All by itself, that would be a benefit for maknkind.
