Re: Parcell's to Miami?

Could be Bill Cowher!

Cowher turned down Atlanta job which is closer to Carolina. Doubtful.

Re: Parcell's to Miami?

Maybe the Tuna will convince Marino to take the ceremonal position he was offered and lure the Don out of retirement.

Re: Parcell's to Miami?

Looks like it's practically a done deal:

Report: Parcells to join Dolphins

Coach near four-year deal to lead football operations

Bill Parcells' day began with reports he would rebuild the Atlanta Falcons. It ended with him on the cusp of taking the same job with the Miami Dolphins.

Parcells and Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga agreed Wednesday on a four-year contract to be Miami's vice president of football operations, according to ESPN, which employs the two-time Super Bowl-winning coach as an analyst.

My hunch on Cowher is he will stick to his guns and stay out next year. I believe he is waiting for his daughter to graduate high school.
IMO, John Fox will be given one more year in Carolina. If Fox has another bad year he will be fired and Cowher will take over in Carolina.

Re: Bill Parcells is BACK!!!

I don't think he was ever interested in Atlanta. He has been talking to Miami since October and that is where he wanted to go. He owns a house in Jupiter, FL and plays golf with Wayne Huizenga. He was just using Atlanta as leverage to close the deal.

This is a great move for Miami. Parcells may have a giant ego, but he is an unbelievable team-builder and a great judge of talent. He will put a good structure in place and bring in good people. He will set the bar high and bring a sense of urgency. Miami doesn't have a lot of talent right now, but Parcells will start building that team the right way and he will turn it around.

Re: Bill Parcells is BACK!!!

Great move for Miami.

Parcells can build a team without the rigors of coaching it. The days of Tedd Ginn Jr and Jason Allen top draft picks are gone.

If I'm a Miami fan(I'm not) I'd be psyched right now. It's going to take more than one year; but it's a hell of a start.

I wish they didnt suck so bad; I'd like the rivalry games to have more on the line.

1) J. Allen has shown improvement this year, and the jury's out on Ginn, give him some more time to develop.

2) Yeah it is a great move for the Fins, Parcells knows how to build teams.

Miami doesn't have a lot of talent right now, but Parcells will start building that team the right way and he will turn it around.

I would beg to differ, there are some young guys who show flashes of talent, but we do need several pieces of this puzzle.

That was actually Huizenga's doing.

Parcells bails out after a few years and the Cowboys are playing better with Wade as the coach

Parcells built that Cowboys team.

Its a great move for a team that is rebuilding.

Mora was a complete joke and dick to boot. He said that he would leave the Atlanta HC job even in the playoffs if the Univ of Washington offered him the HC job. I never would want him coaching my team, he's crap.

Re: Parcell's to Miami?

No it doesn't

I gotta agree LT. Miami has progressed forward a great deal this year. Fail forward!

"Flashes of talent"? What the hell is that worth? That just means they aren't consistent and the jury is still out.

I see very few foundation players. No QB. No young pass-rusher (Jason Taylor is a great player, but too old to build around) or DT who can control the LOS. No franchise LT, although there are a couple players on the OL who might be keepers. The only big-time offensive play-maker is Ronnie Brown.

Miami has very few players who can be classified as better than average, IMO, especially young ones. They have drafted poorly in recent years and really lack at the key positions (QB,LT,DL). That is why they suck so bad.

However, Parcells will change that. He will come up with a plan to resolve the QB position. He will get a pass-rusher to replace Taylor. He will build the lines on both sides of the ball. Those are the needs that trump everything else.

This kind of reminds me of the situation he inherited with the Patriots back in 1993. That team was dreadful as well, but he quickly cleaned house and had things turned around. Only a few players survived the purge. Expect a lot of new players in Miami in the next couple years.

Re: Parcell's to Miami?

Parcells will do a good job in Miami. I'm shocked he's taking the job. Does this mean Cam Cameron is getting fired?

I doubt it, rumor is Cam gets another year but nothing solid at this point.

One thing to keep in mind is that Parcels and Bobby Knight are good friends..... And Cam considers Knight his biggest mentor so there is a connection there, seems small but stuff like this matters when it comes to coaching circles. You want to work with people you know.
