I'm beginning to strongly dislike this guy.
-
Yeah, I'm not either ATV ... all of this seems like pretty rampant speculation. Wouldn't be surprised if Parcells isn't trying to feel out the new owner, Ross.
I really don't see him going anywhere, but if he does, we've got the foundation in place for success, and that's important. -
I'm not buying it, either -- this guy has "the life" now in Florida (and doesn't even travel). I just cannot believe he would walk away from such an incredible turnaround. Coaches, EVPs, whoever, like to stick around and see the fruits of their labors. I can't imagine Parcells wouldn't witness the even greater things to come next season.

I hope he doesn't leave personally, and stays for another 2 years.:up: -

of course he is going to say he would "consider" coaching again. the same way MANY coordinators who have no intention of coaching in Detriot or Cleveland, or for Al Davis will "consider' those head coaching jobs, and interview for it...
all to ensure their deal with their current team gets extended and (financially) sweetened this offseason.
could it happen? sure. nothing is impossible for the right money, but is the Tuna going to leave sunny south Florida for dismal Detroit? or cold Cleveland, or N.Y. where he has already been there/done that?
sure, it's possible, but it is not likely.BrazForPhins likes this. -

This is bad on all levels
We need our team focussed and so does Parcells
For all the turnarounds he has done how many championships has he won
He needs to understand that these situations don't always come around. We are in a 12 team tourney for a World Championship
Hopefully Ross does not let anyone leave and follow him -
Parcells can't take Ireland. But he could take Pasqualoni (HC), Lee (OC), Bowles (DC) and Brian Gaine (GM) if he particularly wanted. And based on what he did to the Cowboys' staff, I think he would want to - at least Gaine and possibly Pasqualoni - if he was indeed to leave. -
Add to that if he does leave he will take people with him. -
It would definitely be bad - nobody wants Tuna to leave for at least one more season. That said, as long as Tony and Ireland stay, I won't be THAT worried. They seem to have learned how to win in this league.
Still, I'd love for them to have at least another year to mentor from Tuna before going out on their own. -
I personally don't see this as a big impact on the playoff game. The players aren't playing for him, they're playing for Tony Sparano. They know not to let the distractions get to them, Sparano will make that clear.unluckyluciano likes this. -
Not too, mention if Parcells does leave, will we be aggresive in FA like last season, when we started signing guys 1 minute after FA started?? -
Sorry for calling you out on this, man, but the point of this whole little drama is that none of this would've come up if Parcells didn't want it to. Neither Mort nor King would've dared to bring this up (the others are just running along with it basically) if Parcells hadn't asked them to. So there's definitely fire behind that particular smoke and the guy to blame, frankly, is the Tuna. -
My crystal ball tells me that Parcells stays. This is a 3 year operation he signed up for in Miami. His goal when he takes over a team is not to make the playoffs. It's to build a championship team. After 4 years, he turns his attention elsewhere. He didn't leave Dallas after they started 10-6 and made the playoffs in his first season. I have all the confidence in the world in Tony Sparano, but I think Sparano draws a lot of confidence from Bill Parcells. It would be nice to have them stick together for a few more seasons. Ireland probably prefers having a co-gm when debating prospects as well.
Please stay Parcells. But if you go, please don't go to the Jets. -
-
We definitely will. If Parcells decides to leave, it'll only be because he figures he is no longer needed here. That's what he's after basically. A challenge and being needed. Being the big Tuna. As soon as he knows they are perfectly capable of being successful without him, he's out. So should Parcells leave, rest assured he will be confident that we won't need him. He'd never risk his legacy otherwise. -
We can agree to disagree here but to say these rumors won't distract the team at all during the week I think is false. -
Last time I checked, Parcells wasn't a news reporter...besides, don't believe everything you read. -
Wilford
Davis
Smiley is the best one and he ended up on IR -
-
Hey, they might distract the team a little but I think that is blown way out of proportion. Sparano has them focused, ready to work and I don't see it being a big distraction, if any.

Would not surprise me at all, Parcell he's done this several times already. Personally I don't care if he decide to go, whats bother me is that he will take Pasqualoni and Henning and possibly more with him, to implement he's program.
I want to believe that hes doing this to get a better deal from Ross, since I don't think that Parcell still have the desire or the energy to work 20 hours a day coaching, not at 67 years old!slickj101 likes this. -
What would Parcells have to gain by breaking this story now, If he did indeed leak the info?
