The Miami Herald is reporting that the Miami Dolphins and Bill Parcells have agreed on a four-year contract that will give Parcells control of the franchise's football operations.A word of caution: This is Bill Parcells we're talking about. He could just as easily back out of it tomorrow.
But it does seem like he's really going to leave ESPN and take this job. Miami owner Wayne Huizenga has apparently told Parcells that he won't sell the team and that Parcells can hire his own coach, his own general manager, and anyone else he needs to bring in.
That's no surprise: Huizenga has always like big names running the football side of things, from Jimmy Johnson to Nick Saban. But Parcells is the biggest name yet, and Dolphins fans should be thrilled that they'll now have someone with a proven track record running their team.
Two people who shouldn't be thrilled: Dolphins coach Cam Cameron and general manager Randy Mueller, both of whom are likely out of a job.
Unless, of course, Parcells backs out.

Great job, Miami! I've always been a Parcells fan (even when he coached against the Eagles). To paraphrase Buddy Ryan: '...you got a winner in town! The Tuna in Miami...who'd have thunk it?

Hey Pats fan... be happy with the elusive Tuna...if he didn't run out on the G-men when he did Bilichick may have moved up into the Giants head coach position instead of the Browns and Jets (if you can count that entire day as a position in the orginization)...and where would the Pats be now.... wishing for Steve Grogan & Moses Tatupu to come back? If it doesn't go well all I can say is he may give Bobby Petrino a run for the most cruelty a coach can inflict on a team award.

Well if he can't get Miami in the deep into the
playoffs in the next few years. He just might
retire from football for good
