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

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
