    Who was the genius behind this brainchild? He can basically leave us high and dry if he felt like it, we receive nothing and he receives everything? Not quite fair, IMO.

    That would be one of the most successful businessmen in America. Pretty sure he knows how to deal with employment agreements.

    Now the rumors will NEVER END.

    Even if this report is false, we will be continually reminded on every pregame show and sportscenter about how Parcells can walk away. Every time a coach or GM gets fired, there will be Parcells rumors.

    :lol: Whether people believe it's a "non-story" or not, this, if true, genuinely concerns me. Walking away from teams that he helped spur on to excellence is not foreign to Parcells. I don't know if he has made a definitive "I'm not going anywhere" official statement or not and, if he has, I don't know that he can be trusted. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled with the changes made in our team last season.

    Honestly, it isn't a practical concern to me. IF whatever contract there is provides for such an outcome, and we all know from experience, what is in the press commonly has little to do with reality, but IF it is as suggested in that blurb, does anyone believe that if Parcells really didn't want to operate as VP anymore, he'd let a contract stand in his way? I don't. Nor do I think if someone like the Jets really thought that they could lure him over there, that they'd let compensation to Miami stand in their way either.

    Parcells is where he is because he wants to be. When he ceases wanting to be here anymore, he'll quit. I don't believe, at this stage of his life and with as much money as he has, that he's worried about holding one team up for ransom as against another, and I don't believe he'd hang around somewhere that was drudgery because of a penalty in a contract. An employer wouldn't want someone hanging around if they really wanted to be somewhere else anyway - they aren't going to do good work for you.

    I honestly think he likes doing what he's doing. He likes Tony and Ireland and thinks he can provide guidance to them and the team which is worth his salary. When he'd rather be doing something else, he will, and a contract isn't going to keep him from doing anything, one way or another.

    This is a reworking of the old story. He has a 30 day window....he has about 15 days left. Has something changed ? Did Ross sign a new agreement with him ? Unless that happened this is someone trying to stir the pot, and nothing else.

    Just read the report.....why did Huizenga do it ? That seems to me to be screwing Ross, and why did Ross agree to it. Very strange and I would love to know exactly what "league sources" are telling us this.

    If it doesn't come straight from the Dolphins or Parcells I still believe its someone in the press throwing something against the wall and trying to see if anything sticks.

    Huizinga did it cause Parcells had all the leverage. Would you rather have Huizinga break the deal and allow Parcells go to Atlanta? I wouldn't.

    over there
    You see ,folks.
    This is what Parcells has wanted for a long time.To run a franchise,so to speak,with no strings attached.I know that he won't be going anywhere until the end of next season.Then he will make up his mind(again).
    He can now enjoy himself without anyone breathing down his neck all the time to do this,do that,etc.
    He has stated 500 times that he wants to shop for the groceries.Well he's also cooking the dinner to.He has it great in S.Florda and I think he knows it.
    He won't be around this earth forever.How many more "stops" do you think he wants to take?

    How about this.....someone is stirring this up, to make it harder for Miami to attract FA's. If guys hear that Parcells is leaving, and that Miami might have a bunch of termoil again, they might be scared off.

    Am I reaching or is it plausable ?

    We all knew Bill would come and go as he saw fit,should we even care if he's walking out the door with some billionaire's money?Ummmmmm No.

    We all saw the look on Bill's face the last game as our Olin was having it's azz handed to it.His work will be done when our Oline can dominate the best defenses the nfl has to offer,tell then he'll be here end of story.

    The only problem I have is that ESPN keeps saying that Parcells said he would stay with the team through "next season." If they are going off of what he said on their very NFL Live a week ago and I believe they are, Parcells said he was with the team until Ireland and Sparano could handle the team on their own. When Trey Wingo asked "So this means your staying with the Dolphins" after Parcells made the statement about waiting until Sparano and Ireland were ready Parcells answered by saying with a bit of an of course idiot comment, "Definitely."

    Obviously Parcells has a history of bailing on teams but I honestly think he will set up Ireland and Sparano and then leave. Whether that will be next year or the one after I don't know but I do think he will stay long enough for that to be accomplished. ESPN really needs to be more detailed with their news.

    this is a non-story. Saban was under contract here and he walked away. So what does it matter?

    If parcells wanted to leave, he'd leave. Regardless of any contract.

    This actually provides the unchained comfort that he can finally retire with.

    He's here cuz he wants to be, for no other reason whatsoever, and perhaps wayne's best move

    ever.

    It sucks if he leaves...

    But pretty much the thought was that this will be his "See I Can Turn It Around...Team". Then he would leave to help yet another team only watching the playoffs.

    That is why team original deal gave him a 30-day window..

    "Hey Bill help me raise the value of the Fins and I will give you a contract that allows you to get paid and leave, IF you do not want to stay with the new owner."

    Then the new deal...

    "Hey Bill please don't leave until you think your FO is ready to move on without you. I just paid a billion dollars for this team. How about I give you a contract that allows you to leave anytime you want with full pay?"

    Bill's response...

    "I am focused on the 2009 season with my team. I might be leaving after this season, if another owner is willing to pay me the same way. But I might stay if things are smooth and we get past the 1st round of the playoffs."

    ...not quoted. Just saying that is a very fair business deal for BP who had all the cards with Wayne and even more with Ross. Supply and demand at its finest. NOBODY thought this was BP last team. We just need to pick his brain on what he is WILLING to share as a FO...then best of luck to him.

    THANKS BILL!!! :)

    i would like to interrupt this thread to bring you this standing ovation...{clap,clap,clap}

    Mr. H and Mr. ross...i applaud you both for doing everything humanly possible to insure that Bill Parcells is the happiest president of football operations in the history of the world.
    That is some contract that Mr.parcells has now......stay as long as you want, but if we piss you off in any way, you can quit and take all the money remaining on your contract.....no worries Bill.

    This is what Bill Parcells has dreamed of all his life..complete autonamy with no committment. Congrats to Wayne and Ross for recognizing the genious and for doing everything they can to secure him with us. Thank you.

    If he leaves us after all this red carpet, he will be the biggest waste of humanity ever....Which he is not. far from it...This will be Bills last job boys and girls..enjoy it while it lasts.

    I just don't see how anyone can be upset by this talk of the Tuna being able to leave anytime he wants to. He has NEVER lived up to a full contract except his very first contract with the G-men....since then he as left early from every team. This is certainly not a major revelation that he may leave early folks, so don't fret it...all we can hope for is to have him here long enough to get Ireland and Sparano off on the right foot, anything longer is a pipe dream...

    What's the difference to us if he gets paid or not? If he becomes unhappy and wants out he'll leave period. The only difference now is that he'll get paid by the FO.

    iam only upset at the shock jock reporters who are stirring up the pot for no reason.

    And please larry, telling us he hasnt stayed at any other place due to that hes some sort of a nomad, and insinuating that he is responsible for those departures, is old....and completely wrong. Jmo

    Ok, it wasn't his fault he left before living out his contracts, perhaps he wasn't wanted (Jets, Pats) any longer, any way you slice it, it's his MO. I don't blame him for leaving Dallas either, but facts are facts..he doesn't live out his contracts...

    That said, I hope he lives this one out...we need his special ability. It took Wanny 5 yrs to kill this franchise, then we had Saban and Cam not be able to bring it out of obscurity. We need the Tuna's touch here, so if it's one more year that would be good. I still hope it's longer, but doubt that it will happen...one thing seems to be clear here, at least so far, Ross doesn't seem to be a Jerrah Jones, so perhaps we'll have him a little longer.

    But I still didn't/don't expect to see him here for the full 4 yrs of the contract...

    I want em in Jeff's ear on his deathbed.

    I dont think he will be here for the duration either, i think he will leave just to let Jeff and Tony make their own mark. buuuuuuut, you never know brother, maybe he wants to hold that trophy one more time.
