MacPherson wouldn't have been able to handle all the good plays if he had Bledsoe, he would have cheered himself into a heart attack! The guy acted like he won the super bowl every time the Pats got a first down.
Parcells didn't win any Super Bowls in New England, but his hiring turned the franchise around almost immediately. The franchise was hot garbage in the early 90's. The Patriots have yet to fall back anywhere near the depths of the bungling Patriots of old. In the 26 seasons since 1993, the Patriots have (percent of the time over 26 seasons): 18 division championships (70%), 20 playoff appearances (77%), 14 AFC Championship appearances (54%, 82% since 2001 ), 10 AFC Championships and SB appearances (38%, 59% since 2001), 6 Super Bowl Championships (23%, 35% since 2001).
While I despise Parcells for his douchebag attitude in '96 and defecting to the Jets the following season, I will begrudgingly admit that his hiring was the first step in bringing the franchise out of the doldrums. Ironically, in 2000 I didn't want the Patriots to hire Belichick because I thought he was just going to be another Parcells and would leave first chance he got. At the time I didn't know that Kraft had very nearly hired him in 1997. I assumed he went with Parcells to New York out of loyalty.
Orthwein was right about the day of Parcells' hiring being a huge step forward for this franchise. People lined up at the stadium in droves to buy season tix in the days that followed and In April Bledsoe's selection provided even more optimism. Within 4 years they were AFC champs and after a 3 season decline from '97-'99, Bob Kraft was able to pull a trade for Belichick. Nothing matches April 16, 2000 thougth, when the architect of a 20 year reign came aboard.
Before Tom Brady and after Steve Grogan and Tony Eason and especially before Bob Kraft would take the reins as owner - this was an era that was absolutely terrible for the Patriots. As a Bears fan I can understand the huge letdown and disappointment. I pray that fans in New England have completely forgotten these bad days. And linebacker Andre Tippett I do remember him on the Patriots when they played the Bears in Super Bowl XX.

Not true. We went to the SB and had several winning seasons amongst some shitty ones so a bit of a distorted point of view. Nevertheless, they made the difference.
I only started watching my Pats in 93 when Parcels jumped on board. Based on the previous season records looks like I didn’t miss much in the earlier years
Back when you could walk up to the ticket office and buy a ticket on game day. They couldn't draw flies to these games and the games in Foxboro were always blacked out
As a Patriots fan I'll always appreciate Bill Parcells for turning around the fortunes of this franchise... ...but can never forgive him for the way he ended his tenure. For years he worked to make them a great team... and then let petty squabbles with Robert Kraft turn into him looking for another job right before the Super Bowl. He sabotaged his own legacy. In my opinion, he does NOT deserve a place in the Patriots Hall of Fame.
@@scottaznavourian4568 they over achieved in 1994 so the letdown in 95 was going to happen. 2000 was a necessary evil in hindsight Belicheck had to clean house that year.
Tom Ford we are really lucky we got RKK. A patriots fan. A guy that will do what it takes to give the coaches and GM the opportunity to put the best team on the field. Doesn’t let his ego get in the way like countless other families and owners.
The thing I really admire about Kraft is that he took a considerable financial risk when he bought the team. Orthwein offered him something like $50 million to let the team out of its lease at Foxboro Stadium so he (Orthwein) could move the club to St. Louis. Kraft could have pocketed that money and been set for life, but he held out and paid what was at that time an enormous sum for the club when Orthwein finally gave up and put it on the market. Needless to say, the gamble paid off, but if you'd have told anyone in 1994 that, in less than a decade, the team would win two Super Bowls and have gone to a third, they'd have had you committed.
What was dopey about these annual highlight films was that they generally only showed clips of games that the team won... which is fine if a team won a lot of games. When a team only wins two games in a season there's not much to show. I think it did a disservice to a team to act like the previous season didn't exist. Same thing when Parcells left New England to go to the Jets in 1997. The Jets were 1-15 in 1996, so most of their "highlights" was Parcells driving around in a golf cart at the 1997 summer camp.
This was a great turning point in our legacy. Except for the fact that Parcells was a traitor and turned on us in the middle of the night. Thankfully God's grace is mighty as BB came in to resurrect us years later and all worked out beautifully.
He did get a TD vs browns but the Patriots didn't win the game. They did not get a win until they went to indianapolis to get their 1st win. Then they got their 2nd win at home against the ny jets. AFTER THAT WIN THE WINS ENDED!
I still like the Pat Patriot logo better than the flying ghost head
30 years ago today, Bill Parcells was introduced as the Patriots head coach. And the New Era of the New England Patriots was born . . .
Thank god they drafted Drew Bledsoe and not Rick Mirer in 1993
Imagine being a Bears fan and seeing them trade a 1st round pick for Mirer.
I wish there were some vintage parcels Patriots 5th quarter interviews those were awesome!
The last "Patriot Pat" logo for the Patriots for the 1992 season.
'get ur season tickets cause when we u might not be able to get them' quite prophetic
I notice there isn't a 1990 Patriots highlights film. Unfortunately, that's the year they based the Tecmo Super Bowl rosters on.
They were one of the most pathetic 1-15 squads
Wow I was 22 yrs old....... Wow time flies
I really liked Dick MacPherson and a lot of the players on this 1992 squad were important to the squads that Parcells won with.
Michael Daly dick was on to something. If he hadn't gotten sick in 92 and had the Kraft's as owners, who knows what he could have been
Indeed, especially with Drew Bledsoe as his quarterback.
MacPherson wouldn't have been able to handle all the good plays if he had Bledsoe, he would have cheered himself into a heart attack! The guy acted like he won the super bowl every time the Pats got a first down.
@@Lange0716 sometimes you need a little energy and enthusiasm on the sidelines
MacPherson was a nice guy, but there's no room in football for a nice guy.

@@andrewjennings9728 Apart from a Few Decent seasons Here and there you're right
This organization would not be a joke after 1992. Parcells and later Belichick forever buried NE's prior legacy of underachieving or outright sucking.
Not true. We went to the SB and had several winning seasons amongst some shitty ones so a bit of a distorted point of view. Nevertheless, they made the difference.
They should go back to these uniforms. The current ones are hideous

That owner is so well spoken.
Back when you could walk up to the ticket office and buy a ticket on game day. They couldn't draw flies to these games and the games in Foxboro were always blacked out
I went to the Saints game that year with my roommate in that manner.
Excuse my ignorance but what exactly does blacked out mean?
Blacked out means that people in New England couldn’t watch Patriots home games if they weren’t sold out
Bam Cunningham R.I.P
I don’t understand why Parcells did not like Jon Vaughn. He was fun to watch.
Leonard Russell
wow that pass that brown pick Sixed looked like the pic bledsoe thru to kevan henry in 07
97 not 07
At 10:00 - 10:11, Singleton should have lateraled to the ref, that guy looked like he could have smoked Singleton down the field!
Matt He did!
If the Seahawks had gone 1-15 in 1992, they would have drafted Drew Bledsoe in 1993. But, since they beat New England, they ended up with Rick Mirer.
Last job huh Coach Parcells 😄
and orthwein was dedicTed to the nee england fanbase lol
What Lombardi did for the Redskind in 69, Parcels would do for thr Patriots.
Jim Hanbury He even took the Jets to the AFC championship. He’s a legend.

They had to use giants footage because the patriots sucked back then.
