Parcells earned the nickname "The Big Tuna" when he responded to a bogus statement from a player with the incredulous "Who do you think I am? Charlie the Tuna?" The "Big" portion should be self-explanatory.

Because he's smelly.
Or, because I think they call him "The Big Tuna" and Tuna is his shorter nickname.
