The following are quotes from Huzienga and Parcells regarding Parcells role in Miami: When Huizenga hired Parcells, the owner said, "Anything that has anything to do with football, directly or indirectly, reports to Bill. That includes doctors and trainers and everything. Everybody is going to report to him.'' Said Parcells: "So what I am is the owner's designee. My job is to hire a coach, hire a GM and put a structure in place for them to operate.'' he (Parcells) said were the applicable clauses in the contract. "'As Executive Vice President of Football Operations,'" Parcells read, "'employee shall be responsible for overseeing the club's football operations. Employee shall act as club designee for purpose of [executing] contracts with head coach and general manager.'" Link: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/peter_king/12/23/week16/2.html
"That's not the way it is," he said from his home in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. "We set it up so the general manager I hire will have that authority. I want to make it clear: I don't want to be the general manager. Said Parcells: "So what I am is the owner's designee. My job is to hire a coach, hire a GM and put a structure in place for them to operate.'' Freudian slip?
Just an explanation of the language of the contract. The true psychological phenomenon going on in this thread is called projection.
Are you really, really, pro-Cameron. Or are you just waiting to see what happens? Cuz it seems every thread that even hints at firing Cameron, you come in defending the idea not to fire him. I am not picking sides, or getting on your back, just curious as to what you want to see happen with the HC position.
you know what's funny? wasn't the position of "vice president of football operations" created for Dan Marino which he promptly quit? i hadn't heard that title used again til now. anyways, it's good to hear a little bit of clarity
