New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced that former Patriots coach Bill Parcells will be inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame.
Parcells spent four seasons with the Patriots after landing a head coaching job with the team in 1993. He led New England to Super Bowl XXXI, where they were defeated by the Green Bay Packers. He compiled a 303-172 career coaching record and a 32-32 record with the Patriots.
Parcells also coached for the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets in addition to New England.
"In my first season as owner, he led us on that unforgettable seven-game win streak to qualify for the playoffs," Kraft wrote in a statement. "Two years later, he accomplished something Patriots fans had never seen before, leading us to our first two home playoff wins in franchise history, and another trip to the Super Bowl."
"Those are memories I will never forget and achievements worthy of this honor. As a five-time finalist for our hall of fame, I am sure he would have been voted in eventually, but I wanted to expedite the process so he can enjoy the ceremony."
