Parcells Joins ESPN Show Full-Time
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – ESPN has hired former NFL coach Bill Parcells to a multi-year deal as a full-time analyst on its "Sunday NFL Countdown" this year after he appeared four times on the show in 2001, the network said. Parcells will join host Chris Berman and fellow analysts Tom Jackson, Sterling Sharpe, Steve Young and reporter Chris Mortensen on the pre-game show Sundays at 11 a.m. ET. Parcells, who won two Super Bowls as a coach, spent two years as a studio and game analyst for NBC Sports from 1991-93. Parcells said he feels the learning curve for him is small. "I've been on TV so much and had several shows, most of them football shows and have done quite a bit of commercial work," he said of his TV experience. He added, "I don't have any football plans."
