    I am sure NFL Network and probably ESPN NEWS would carry it. Not sure of the time. Nobody seems to know.

    How weird is this? I am looking forward to this conference as much as I was to the first game of the season. I'm not right in the head

    According to Armando Salguero on 790 The Ticket here in Miami, the press conference is not scheduled for a specific time as of yet, although they expect to have it this afternoon.

    Come on now, don't be so paranoid. According to CBS4, he arrived in Miami early this morning. He is supposed to attend the practices and then meet with Cameron. After that, he will be introduced to the media. Expect it around 3 or 4 PM.

    No you wouldn't because Parcells would probably smash you with a fly swatter.

    Whew !!! I know I sounded paranoid, but the way things have been around the franchise the last few years, you sorta react that way, and even expect it ! I'm on pins & needles. I have to see him standing there in front of the Dolphins logo and at the podium to finally believe it.

    We've been let down so many times in the last 10 years.

    Well aside from all the flyswatter and 24 hr lifespan jokes; I agree. Those will be some tough questions Parcells will be asking. Any way one looks at it some of what has transpired over this past season is going to be really hard to justify. Parcells probably already knows whether or not he plans to keep those guys, though.

    Bill Parcells press conference @ 6 PM

    Heads up, guys: Parcells' introductory press conference as Executive Vice President of Football Operations is 15 minutes away.

    Miamidolphins.com will have a live stream, ESPN will be showing the conference live on SportsCenter, and I'm sure ESPNews and FOX Sports Net will have something too.

    If nothing else Parcell's usually puts on an entertaining News Conference.
    It will be interesting if he keeps the same tone in the news conference given that he is not the head coach.

    Parcells: "I am charged with putting a structure in place for the coach and GM. I have no desire to be a coach, and I have no desire to be a general manager. I'm not going to be involved in the coaching and I'm not going to be involved in the managing. I am the owner's designee."

    "I had a brief meeting with Cam, just a cordial 'how are you doing?' I talked to Randy briefly."

    "I met Cam for the first time last year. We both have mutual friends. I don't know Randy real well, but we've done business together in the past."

    "I think Coach Bobby [Knight] has a high regard for Cam."

    "I'm trying to be a good team member, and I'm trying to use my experience to put a structure in place that will serve the Dolphins well now--as soon as possible--and hopefully for the long term."

    "I think philosophical compatibility is something that has to be discussed. I don't view myself as a narrow-minded person, so I'm willing to listen to people who have first-hand knowledge of the situation here. I think I'd be foolish not to do that. But along the lines of player acquisition and things of that nature, the whole organization be pretty much philosophically compatible so they understand why things are being done a certain way."

    On player philosophy: "Traditionally I've tried to get prototypical players at specific positions. I try to look at their background, their character, and some of the intangibles. Then we would incorporate a list of critical factors for each position--obviously those are different at each position. And then we would evaluate each player based on those factors. Then we would evaluate them on their positional skills. So every player will be evaluated on his background, general makeup, critical factors as we set them, and their positional skill. I'm interested in good character people. I don't want problem children."

    "I do feel a sense of urgency in regard to starting on talent evaluation, but I want to be as analytical as possible and not overlook something. I don't want to make mistakes."

    "I know there aren't many more stops on the road. Eventually age becomes prohibitive. But I'm excited, I try to keep my energy up, and I look forward to the challenge. I'm just going to try to get to work as hard as I can as soon as I can and get this thing going. Obviously there are some things to be done, but quite frankly I've been in this situation before, so it's just a case of finding out where you have to go."

    He's like all calm and stuff, then out of nowhere he busts out with:

    "I want to listen to what [Cam and Randy] have to say. But I can't do that right now because the season's not over. The next day or two after the game, we'll sit down and have a group discussion. Randy doesn't have the same time constraints that Cam does."

    "I do think I know basically what to do try to do. This is basically a talent acquisition business, and in addition to acquiring the talent, you have to have a structure in place that will enhance the development of that talent, and then you have to have a competent coaching staff that will coach that talent. I think if you can get those three things in place--solid personnel acquisition, good developmental, and good coaching--I think you can make progress in this league. Not everyone has that."
