Bill Parcells has opt-out clause, could walk away from Dolphins

We can put this thread to bed, finally. SFRedskin provided a link from ESPN and here's one from SI saying that Ross spoke with Parcells and that Parcells intends to stay.

"Parcells is in charge," Ross said in a conference call. "He's staying, and I think we're very fortunate to have someone like Bill Parcells, who I think people have come to recognize as probably the best football mind in America."

The article is using a quote thats a couple days old (it was on PFT over the weekend) and the PFT/SportingNews quotes posted in this thread actually contain more recent information.

Parcells himself did not say definitively that he would be staying in Miami and was very clear that he hasnt made a decision yet. he has 30 days to make a decision so this story will likely continue for the remaining 30 days or until Parcells signs elsewhere or with a new contract in Miami.

SportingNews had an article today on this subject and i would be shocked if Parcells stays in Miami (without any new money on his contract, at least).

Best football mind. Whatever. He is a fool if he leaves that kind of free money. Miami, give me a break. Leave 12 millon on the table, sound like he's lost his mind. He did school Vinny; but how hard is that.

I think it shows his character. His dedication to his goal. And his class. That's part of what makes him the best. IMO

i agree with you, im pretty sure ive read a few times how parcells just cant stop living, breathing and being a part of the NFL. That he tried to walk away and just couldnt do it, literally couldnt sleep at night b/c he couldnt stop thinking football so he went back.

pretty sure another article made a correlation btw gibbs and parcells, both cant stop living football but gibbs choose family while parcells seems to have some kind of addiction he cant shake and choose football over family.

go skins!!
