bill Parcells had nothing to say to reporters as he walked off the practice field following Friday's first workout of the Miami Dolphins' 2008 draft picks. There was a smile and a quick "Sorry," in apology for declining to take questions, but that's all. It was the best thing he could have done to draw a distinctive line between himself and Tony Sparano, Big Tuna's designee to do the dirty work in turning around the 1-15 Dolphins. Sparano is the head coach here, but he's filling the role for the first time since 1998 at the University of New Haven. Imagine how Tony the Toiler would have felt if he had stepped to the microphone for his initial post-practice meeting with the South Florida media and suddenly all the cameras had been ripped off their tripods to chase down a Parcells comment or two. "I'm excited about this day," said Sparano, who was on Parcells' staff for four years at Dallas. "I didn't sleep much last night." That's nervous energy talking, kicked off by a challenge to reporters to "Fire away," and it was good to hear for a change. Cam Cameron, whose one and only year as Dolphins coach was a disaster, was so calm and collected walking the practice fields here that it was difficult to pick him out among the assistant coaches. He never seemed to raise his voice or get ruffled, even later, when the season clearly was going down the drain. Even when the quarterback position, Cameron's specialty area, was in chaos. A head coach should kick up a little dust every now and then, not only because he's in charge of everything that happens on the field but because he wants everyone to be absolutely clear on that fact, if they're not clear on anything else. http://www.palmbeachpost.com/dolphi...2/0502george.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=46
Nice Read. Nice to see that Bill isn't overstepping his "boundaries" and he's just kind of watching over things, while the position coaches seem to be doing their things as well. All the while Sparano, keeps watch over them. Thats the way I was hoping this works out. Bill does his job, bringing in the right guys for the right jobs, but then steps back, and doesn't get involved, letting those he brought in, do exactly what he brought them in to do... Coach.
Bill Parcells is a football genious, the majority of the times he will make the right decisions, who else would you want in charge..we are very lucky fans to have him here.
