UPDATE: Parcells Named Dolphins Exec VP

i really like parcells as a coach, football mind and analyst. atlanta is a good fit for him in terms of how much they need to re-build and i wish parcells the best of luck.

i also like the idea of coach joe staying another year as coach or becoming a full-time GM/VP of the skins. but in all honesty i think when coach joe decides to stop coaching i think he is done with football all together and will go back to racing.

go skins!

Ok, so now he's reconsidering. Because the Dolphins have come back with a new and better offer than they originally had given him recently.

Interesting since the Fins are rumored to be up for sale any day now.

I like that the Falcons are looking to rebuild from the top down. Parcells might not have the touch anymore when it comes to coaching, but the guy has always brought in talent wherever he's been.

I agree. Parcells acquired a lot of good young talent for the Cowboys. I would go so far as to say that they wouldn't be where they are now without Parcells building their roster.

Wonder if he is mulling over coaching again? W/ the Dolphins? It wouldn't be a total suprise.

He's one of the best evaluators of talent there is around i've got to think. He leaves every team he's been w/ in good shape talent wise. Dallas is stocked unfortunately w/ young, talented, and inexpensive players for the next few years. I'd guess that BP could become a great GM.

Pretty typical Parcells.. He's quit on or backed out of agreements with the Giants, Bucs, Jets, Pats, Cowboys and now Falcons..

He's no dummy, the game is called show me the money. They guy is just playing one against the other for his services.

I think he has to since his recent divorce hurt his bank account pretty hard!

Wow. Parcells just can't stay away, can't he?

As long as Gibbs is head coach/Team President, he will never hire someone or suggest that someone else be hired to give him marching orders.

So it will never happen.

Still, in an ideal world, I'd go back to the formula that worked the first time -- have Joe Gibbs as the football coach, and have someone else bring him the personnel.

Couldn't have said it better myself! To me this rule of thumb applies to every NFL team! Heck all the top AFC teams (which I consider the better conference right now) use this approach of having a seperate GM than coach: The Patriots got Scott Pioli, Colts have Bill Polian, Pittsburgh has Kevin Colbert. I always thought the NFL was a copy cat league and when other teams want to have good consistent teams year after year like these 3 teams do, they would try and assimilate a front office structure in a similar pattern after these 3 teams.

Maybe he's thinking about Matt Ryan with that number one pick? From what I hear he's moving towards being a consensus number one.

I say no. I am not all that impressed with what McKay has done either in Atl or TB.
