Not so fast
TUNA JILTS FALCONS!
The Atlanta Falcons have announced that their pursuit of Bill Parcells has ended. Here's the text of the statement from the team:
"Late last night it was revealed to the media by a source outside the Falcons that we were close to reaching an agreement with Bill Parcells to lead the club’s football operations.
"Prior to the information becoming public, we had reached an agreement in principle with Parcells, and we met with him this morning to complete the contract. At that time, we were made aware by Parcells that he was considering a revised offer from the Miami Dolphins. He later informed us that he would not be signing a contract with us.
"We remain committed to looking at every option for building a championship-caliber team for our fans. I have stated we will leave no stone unturned in doing so, and this effort is one example of that. We gave it our best shot, and it didn’t work out.
"We will continue down the same overall path, proceeding with plans to hire a general manager and a head coach. We will identify and consider every strongly viable candidate for these positions, with the goal of hiring the best. Rich McKay remains President of the club and will retain general manager responsibilities until a new GM is hired.
"We will be making no further comment on the Parcells matter."
For McKay, it's deja vu all over again. In 2002, Parcells backed out on a deal with the Bucs when McKay was the G.M. in Tampa.
If Parcells lands with the Fins, he'll be in direct competition with his son-in-law, Scott Pioli, who serves as the V.P. of player personnel with the Patriots
Oh, ****!
Let's Go Bills ... B B B B B B Bills!
Good. We can destroy his mystique once and for all the way Kelly, Thurm and Bruce did to Don Shula.
Good, let him go to Miami and we can beat his ass into the ground till he bails on another team.
In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.
Who cares ?
Parcells best days are long gone.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
Cam Cameron for bills OC , anyone?
Falcons getting ****ed again
Only if he brings Cleo Lemon with him...Originally Posted by justasportsfan
Actually I could like that the more I think about it. It really isn't his fault that he has no QB, Ronnie Brown gone and zero playmakers. Plus Ronnie Brown was a beast in that O until he got hurt.
He wont be going there as head coach, and shula beat you guys more.Originally Posted by Lawesome97
Keyshawn Johnson just said on ESPN that Parcells deserves credit for what the Miami team looks like now.

This is the worst possible news imo
He knows how to run the ball. He'll get the ball to our rb's hands even in the passing game.Originally Posted by Lawesome97
He'll get the ball to Evans.

I think its bad news as well. But that team needs so much, it will take years for that team to make a playoff push.Originally Posted by DraftBoy
