Come fix the Panthers Bill!

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Bill Parcells doesn't sound like a man ready to retire anytime soon.

On a conference call with New York reporters to discuss his enshrinement in the New York Giants' Ring of Honor on Sunday night, Parcells was asked about his future. And Parcells, who recently turned over control of the Miami Dolphins to general manager Jeff Ireland but remains with the team as a daily consultant, said he is open to doing something new.

"Well that is a good question," Parcells said when asked about what his future holds now. "I am not a sit around the fire place guy. I don't know. I am not certain about it. We will see what happens when the time comes. I know I want to do something even if it is not day-to-day or something like that, I know I want to do something. I don't like sitting around. I like to get up and go do something. We will figure it out when the time comes."

When asked about his health, Parcells, 69, said he is doing well.

"I am doing pretty good," Parcells said. "I got my weight way down. I am feel pretty good, I work out good. I have been pretty fortunate. You have little things here and there but when you are my age, that is what happens. You keep the truck moving if you can."

Parcells can reportedly leave the Dolphins organization at any time and still be paid the $12 million due on his four-year contract that runs through the 2011 season.

Director of scouting?

I'd fire Hurney and Morrison right now and let him be GM/President and whatever other title he wants

Hurney is a salary cap genius (supposedly). That's the only reason I would want to keep him on the payroll. Sure Parcells is a genius when it comes to drafting, but I don't know if I trust him in the finance department.. he has no experience there.

He basically drafted Carpenter because of his lineage.. Parcells coached Bobby's father back in the day.

Yeah, I like Parcells, he did a nice job building Miami. I guess everyone misses on draft picks on occasion, some more than others... cough Al Davis cough

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
