Learn to read....this is exactly what his job will be.

Let's put it this way....How many teams has he left in worse shape than what they were before he arrived?
In other words, he might leave or he might not but he'll bring a plan and the plan will stay around for a while. Whether he admits to it or not, Patriot Bill owes a lot to Mr. Parcells as well.
The fact is, he's a great football mind and evaluator of talent. I trust him to hire a GM and coach far more than I trust Arthur Blank and Rich McKay. Even if that's the only two things he does, he'll have improved the team. But I fully expect him to stick around for a couple of years and oversee the draft and free agency.Gigglepoo said:
So no, I really don't give a shit if he stays for a year or two and then leaves. I'm not looking for a daddy, I'm looking for someone to improve the organization and that's what he'll do as long as Blank doesn't fucking meddle, which I'm sure will be one of the stipulations of his coming here.

I could have said the same thing about Isiah Thomas. Then he ruined the CBA, Pacers and Knicks. Isiah has a great basketball mind, was a great player and knows talent. Doesn't mean his skills translated to coach or GM.
Just because Parcells is a great Head Coach doesn't mean he will be a great VP.

Like Triumph said, he has always been a great evaluator of talent when he has been given the power to do so. Do you honestly think Romo would be where he is today if it weren't for Parcells helping to "find" him? He was stubborn in sticking with Bledsoe for so long but he still was the one to give an undrafted Romo a chance.

I would be more encouraged if Parcells was the GM. I know he can find great talent in college and the pros. He has proven that. I don't know if he can find a person who can find great talent. I don't know if he can find a person to coach that great talent. It's a new role for Parcells.

I like ripping Isiah in any place I can.
And good guess about Jason Garrett. I bet Jones will make sure he doesn't leave, though.

True but Parcells has enough connections and respect around the league to get a GM that he knows and trusts. Also don't forget Scott Pioli (sp?) is related to him. It'd be a long shot to get him out of his New England contract but still.
Triumph said:
Nope, I didn't realize that. He probably won't be the GM, though, since he won't stay there long. I'm sure he'll at least help with this year's draft/free agents.
Rorschach said:
I know about his legacy. He usually works/grooms coaches befor he moves on. It's different trying to instill a guy in a new system like Atlanta has. Jason Garrett seems like the best bet, but I can't imagine Jerry will let him get away. Who else does Bill have positioned around the NFL now?

This would go along with my point above. He could always opt to interim GM until Pioli is free to go where he pleases and then he'd not only have a stellar GM but also someone to hand the reigns over to if he should choose to once again retire.

OK, so now Ike Taylor may not start and Haggans will probably play instead of Woodley, extreme bummer. Everyone's favorite hero Anthony Smith gets benched (good) for Tyrone Carter. But they'll still have a SS playing FS. So if Stephen Jackson doesn't have a field day, look for Bulger to return to form. That's my pessimistic take anyway.

It's time for Marty ball with McFadden as the star. If he helps us go 12-4, he'll get the key to the city not the unemployment line. :lol
Seriously, this sucks balls. It's like getting a really great blow job but then she bites down and rips your dick off before you come...
But it sounds like Blank realizes that he needs to find other people to run the club, which is good because it's true. This debacle reinforces the notion that no one with any pedigree is going to want to come here if they have options elsewhere... even if it's with a team that has one whole win this year. So we're going to have to find people who want to take a chance to build their reputation, I'm thinking...
