Dolphins' VP Bill Parcells remains in the game

ATVZ400 · Jul 11, 2008

On this day, Parcells has driven his black Cadillac sedan to a nearby golf course, where he's holding court with three people inside the clubhouse bar. Harness races blare from one television. Another is showing soccer. A third, the one nearest to him, is tuned to a St. Louis Cardinals game, no coincidence since they're managed by Parcells' close friend Tony La Russa. He leans back in his chair, telling a story. Looking tan and relaxed, Parcells is clearly at ease.

It's a whole different attitude,'' Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter says. "Right now, when you have a coach like Parcells coming in and his coaching staff, it's just a whole different atmosphere with the respect level that you have for Parcells. You know what he's capable of doing. He's got the fire lit up under everybody.''

That's a Parcells tradition.

Great article. I loved this part:

He moved into the house with the huge porch and three-car garage two years ago, and neighbors didn't know what to expect. One night shortly after Parcells arrived, two daring couples who live on the quiet cul-de-sac went ahead with a welcome-to-the-neighborhood tradition.

In the dark, they covered Parcells' lawn with pink flamingos.

And their hearts all skipped a beat when Parcells and girlfriend Kelly Mandart arrived home from dinner in time to see them nearby.

"We were discovered and we knew it, so we decided to walk over and fess up,'' says Jim Oplinger, a ringleader of the flamingo troupe. "He was most gracious. He said it was a nice neighborhood tradition. I told him to tell me when he wanted the flamingos to disappear, but he left them up for a few days.''
