Is Parcells Thinking Jets?

Could Bill Parcells return to Giants Stadium as coach of the New York Jets next season?

According to a report in Wednesday’s Boston Herald, Parcells has already spoken to friends about the Jets’ situation with a similar interest that he had when he inquired about New England before taking the Patriots’ job in 1993.

Parcells altered his Patriot contract, originally a five-year deal that ran through 1997, to end after the 1996 season because he apparently was not happy with the team’s organizational structure.

The Houston Oilers will go back to Chris Chandler as their starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against Cincinnati. Steve McNair had started two games while Chandler was nursing a sore ankle. . . . San Diego quarterback Stan Humphries has received medical clearance to practice and is listed as probable for Saturday’s game at Chicago.
