    i mean i love bringing in parcells and i like the raiding of the cowboys, but do you think we should be worrying about the long term?

    i mean what happens in 4 years when the phins are turned around and parcells leaves? what about all the people who came here because tuna is here?

    do they leave too and the dolphins go back to the dreadful hirings and signings that have brought us to where we are now

    i am not trying to complain, i love how the dolphins have direction for the first time in a while, but i just hope that direction continues past parcells tenure

    I doubt it. I have a feeling Parcells's next departure will be in to retirement. By that point, Sparano (or whoever the coach is) and Ireland will basically have the team to themselves, without Parcells' shadow looming large.

    We thought Saban was going to be our next Shula. Look how long that lasted. If he stays 4 years, he will have put good people in place that will continue his work.

    if he ends up leaving then we are left in the same position as the cowboys. Loaded with talent and ready to contend.

    i understand that

    but to me this is not about bill, it is more to do about the coaches in 4 years the phins should be about turned around what happens if they pick it up and leave because bill is not here?

    you can have all the talent in the world and not have someone lead it

    i know i am looking 4 years into the future but in terms of where the dolphins will be i think it is a very pivotal point, because by that time they should be ready to take the next step, i just dont want the dolphins losing their rutter and start treading water again

    by then he would have already left his stamp and changed the focus and identity of the franchise. The coaches would be part of that. I dnt think he leaves then and continues to biuld onit. Now the assistant, assistants leave every year. there is no way around that

    I dont see Tuna bolting on the Phins like he has in teams past. You have to remember he is in a much different role in his new position. He gets to pick the players, watch the young talent develop, and field a winning team. All while getting the "Parcells is a genius" talk he likes so much, with none of the late nights and headaches that come from being a head coach.

    Once he has his guys in place if he choses to leave that's on him. I can only hope we're like the Cowboys in a few years.

    I feel exactly the same man. I mean we are looking 4 years down the road but I feel that is a good thing to do if we want any long term success.You have to be two steps ahead in this league.My hope is that if we are successful Wayne showers Parcells with so much money he stays longer than 4 years, if he leaves we are in trouble IMO because Wayne just doesn't have the knowledge of the game to hold the pieces in place.

    see what direction you need to go when that time comes. We need to get better before we can get worse again.

    I think if Parcells does leave, then he rides off in the sunset for good and then hopefully we'll be contenders and then maybe Jeff Ireland can take his vacated position. I thought I read somewhere, maybe PFT, that Parcells was given a small piece of ownership in the team. I can't see him retaining that ownership while being a part of another team unless he sells it.

    Four years from now it'll be 2012, by the time we'll be making preparations for Armageddon. :)

    it is not about parcells to me, it is about what happens around 4 years when the phins should be contenders and sprano/ireland who came to miami in part to work for parcells just leave the phins

    i like sprano and i like the ireland hirings but you have to think ahead, they very well could stay and everything could be fine, then again if they leave and the phins have to find another coach another gm etc we could be back to square one

    i know this is four years down the road but you have to stay ahead, you have to think ahead, that is one of the problems we have had up to now
    i just hope they stay i could care less if assistants go, i want the core to stay for the long run
