Good question. I was wondering the same thing.

Parcells' thoroughly inexplicable nickname. As Parcells has told it, once, when he was an assistant coach, some players tried to pull a practical joke on him. He caught them and said, "Do you think I'm Charlie the Tuna, like a sucker?" The name stuck. from (http://slate.msn.com/id/1841/sidebar/37889/)

I asked my dad the same exact question on Monday night and he gave me the same answer. I think it's a stupid nickname.

Thanks for providing the answer Phil!

This would have been a pretty good trivia question. I didn't know the answer until I heard it on sportscenter.
