Why would they do this? Further proof that this franchise has no clue. Why congratulate a guy that did nothing for the team? Unreal. They also congratulated Cris Carter who was a Dolphin for 5 minutes and dropped a critical pass that would have sent us to the playoffs. Why? I don't know.

I don't mind, if one thinks about it even our 7-9's lately have been better than the 04-08 time period and Parcells was a part of it.
Now granted, his approach did prove to ultimately outdated for making the playoffs consistently, compared to 07 we are in a far better place. -

Seems like Carter spent most of that yr inactive with a bad hammy?
To me appears they at least have some sort of media strategy this offseason, stadium improvements, new logo, FA etc
Would suspect next we see a large Jeff Ireland interview, probably Ross as well, after the Super Bowl. -

I've easily been one of the biggest proponents of the crappy job that Quitcells did here, but his failure here wasn't enough to keep him from the HOF. He's done some teams a lot of good. This team is arguably better than when he came here and he was faced with the prospect of rebuilding the talent level in this roster from the dregs. The Fins did the right thing in congratulating him for his accomplishment. I still hope he never sets foot in Davie again and there is nothing worse than a quitter, imho...however, congrats do go out to him for his entire body of work...

And I LOATHE and HATE Parcells and the fact he only had to wait one year. I wanted him to sweat it out for a couple of more years. But the franchise needs to present itself in the best possible light and this was the right thing to do.DrAstroZoom and Ozzy like this. -

Parcells brought the organization Ireland and Hartline. He should be praised at every opportunity.

You're profoudly confused if you think Parcells hurt this team. The job was disappointing, yes, but a net negative? You've got to be ****ing kidding me.

Its the right thing to do as others have said, if I met Carter or Parcells on the street I'd congratulate them its a big deal and both deserve to be in the Hall. Congrats to both.

"But we went from bad to mediocre!"
Whoop de ****ing do.
He was a failure, here and in Dallas.
However, the organization cant say "**** that guy" as Serpio is suggesting.Phins28 likes this. -
It is a very real possibility that this team could have become pre-Marvin Lewis Bengals or Matt Millen Lions bad. That is a failure. -

At least he did a few things right. He turned down Atlanta to come to Miami. He brought in Pennington and took us into the playoffs for once in umpteen years. I may have been more bitter if he had bailed on Miami and went to another team but he didn't. He left before the job was done but still abide by the contract as Wayne stipulated. He is a great football mind, he just kind of stumbled in Miami. Miami did what they should have done under the circumstances and I don't see anything wrong with it.

I saw Twitter go nuts on this, and I was mystified at the negative reaction as I am now. The statement by Ross was a classy thing to do for someone who was formerly associated with the team. Slamming it shows irrational venom and bitterness toward the organization.

Google the Parcell's QB checklist. You'll see that Henne matches it beautifully. If it wasn't for that stupid checklist, they may have taken Ryan, besides I think its extremely debatable to assume Ryan turns out like he did in Atlanta like he would here.RevRick likes this. -
With Sparano and Henning being responsible for Ryan's development had he been drafted by Parcells - he would have been another mentally and physically walking wounded quarterback by now. Just think - the only QB who even stood half a chance with their system was a 10 year blown-shouldered oft injured vet who knew more about QB play than the two of them combined and had Fupacells thinking that he controlled what the QB did - just like he did the Head Coach and the entire staff - bluff, bluster, and blather..
