Bill Parcells Praises Bobby Cox

Praise from Big Tuna

Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells was visiting with his pal Tony La Russa on the field Monday when the two walked over to the Braves dugout so the Cardinals manager could introduce Parcells to Bobby Cox. "I just want to tell you, what you've done will never be done again," said Parcells, putting his right hand on the Braves manager's left shoulder. "I mean it. Nobody will ever do it again. It's amazing."

It was clear from Cox's reaction that the comment meant a lot, coming from Parcells. The fraternity of coaches and managers transcends different sports. "It's all competition," Cox said. "They [coaches from other sports] appreciate what we do, and we appreciate what they do."

Texas Tech basketball coach Bobby Knight visits La Russa each spring and usually sits beside the manager during a few Grapefruit League games.

Cox, Knight, Parcells, and LaRussa is some fraternity.
