I offered up my two cents on the Mike Tice whispers, and even gave a shot out to finheaven!

Tice wouldn't be the first name on my personal list of coaching candidates, but if Parcells wants him, then so do I.
What are your thoughts?
Are you comfortable with Mike Tice as a head coach
-
Yes, he's a tough persona and a Parcells guy
7 vote(s)14.9% -
No, he was a loser in Minnesota and an embarrassment off the field

Bottom line is the guy who uttered the term "Randy Ratio" should never get a shot at head coaching again.
-
i'm not a Tice fan really ... I thought he looked lost and overwhelmed during his tenure with the Vikings. For a "tough guy" his teams sure found ways to get into trouble ... I appreciate that he's matured and all, but I'd be more comfortable with someone else at the helm. Let some other team give him a second chance.
-
He underachieved with a good Viking team. The team had no respect for him or they wouldn't have turned into a team of thugs.
If Parcells wants to mold someone, hire someone new, not a retread. -
-
Did you stop to think that they were thugs the whole time, but just happened to not get caught for a while? Also, did you ever stop to think that a lot of NFL players did what Minnesota's guys did, but just never got caught?
If anything, the problem I have with Tice is that he himself is a "thug" in certain respects. After all, he was the guy trying to scalp Super Bowl tickets. -
I wouldn't mind him on the staff. I'm just not sure I want him as the HC.
-
-
NO WAY!!! He is a horrible coach, bottom line... If we hire him look for this team to be in turmoil for another 10 years
-
The hiring of Mike Tice would make me nauseous.
-
Five of the eight teams that played in the playoffs this weekend were coached by "retreads".
Bill Belichick was fired by the Browns. Tom Coughlin was fired by the Jaguars. Wade Phillips was fired by the Bills. Norv Turner was fired by the Redskins and Raiders. Tony Dungy was fired by the Buccaneers.
If that's what hiring a retread gets you, hurray for retreads.
Miami should be looking at Gregg Williams. Buffalo is an extremely difficult place to win, the way their front office and scouting department are set up. -
-
Belichick didn't have anyone telling him how to coach when he went to NE, he just had a good front office, which he did not have with the Browns. Tice had talent, but underachieved with it. -

You had Koreen Robinson getting in trouble (he was new to the team), Randy Moss running over metermaids. There was Smith with his Whizzinator just to name a few. -
Second, if you keep supplying the guy when thugs that get into trouble off the field, why act surprised when they continue to do so? Everyone familiar with Onterrio Smith knows that was by NO MEANS his first run-in with Trouble with a capital T, nor was it any kind of surprise.
So does all the drug abuse and partying done by Lawrence Taylor and some of the other Giants defenders signify a total lack of respect for Bill Parcells? -

It is a FACT that in Dallas, Parcells and Ireland regarded character as a hot button issue, and character was the primary reason they chose Demarcus Ware over Shawn Merriman, and the reason they stayed away from Tank Johnson in the draft. When Parcells left town, so too did the character standard, even though Jeff Ireland attempted to fight it. Ireland went on public record stating the Cowboys would not be interested in Tank Johnson specifically because of character. Then he woke up the next morning and found that Jerry Jones had acquired him, without so much as a discussion. That is probably one of the reasons Ireland jumped at the chance to leave the Cowboys before the draft, which is very uncustomary for personnel people. I've no doubt the incident influenced Brian Gaine, as well, who was assistant director of pro personnel. -

Looks like Parcell's isn't as dumb as the media rumors make him out to be. Jags were never contacted in regards to Tice. Its a few paragraphs down.
"Contrary to published reports, the Dolphins have not asked the Jaguars permission to interview assistant head coach Mike Tice." -
well, I guess we can put the Tice talks to rest.
