In 1975, Pardee was hired by the Chicago Bears as head coach. He spent the next three years there, leading Chicago to their first playoff berth in 14 years in 1977, before moving on to the Washington Redskins. In 1979 he led the Redskins to within 1 game of making the playoffs, but in the seasons final week they blew a 13-point lead to the eventual NFC East champions Dallas Cowboys and missed the playoffs. When the World Football League started up in 1974, Pardee got his first head coaching job with the Washington Ambassadors. In 1984, Pardee returned to his native Texas by becoming the head coach of the Houston Gamblers. The Gamblers played spring football in the United States Football League.
