Parcells cooking up recipe for success

Bill Parcells, the man who prefers to shop for his own groceries, has provided the perfect recipe for turning around a team.
Avoid turnovers.
Few teams in NFL history have done it as well as Parcells. This season, Miami has turned over the football only 10 times.
It now is on pace to turn over the football only 12 times all year, which would be a single-season NFL record.
And it would break the record that the New York Giants set when they won the Super Bowl in 1990, the year their coach was none other than…Bill Parcells.
This year, Parcells and Dolphins coach Tony Sparano have instilled a toughness in the Dolphins that has not been there in recent seasons.
Holding on to the football has enabled the Dolphins to hold on to their leads.
