    Parcells on ESPN Radio Now

    Huizenga offered Parcells the HC job and/or GM job but Bill said no and obviously accepted the VP of Football Operations and offered Keyshawn a job to play for the Fins jokingly (I think).

    Making it sound like he is going to bring in his own guys from the HC and coaching staff to GM.

    E: Just said he will put a GM in place, think it is safe to say Mueller is a goner and said something very similar about the HC job.

    doesn't sound like he has said anything to the affect of bringing in a new GM or HC

    he has said however, that he will not trump the GM, take that as you like

    there is also a little banter regarding keyshawn coming to the dolphins

    Huizenga offered Parcells the Head Coaching job HUH? Where is all the Cameron supporters at? Go ahead, tell me how Cameron gets another year over one win when not even HUIZENGA wants him here?

    He did say something like "We will bring in a guy to take of the roster and things of that nature."

    Parcells is also very aware of where Miami stands draft pick wise and is very aware of Miami's 2 2nd round picks.

    commercial break now...

    in regards to the #1 pick, parcells said "we will take who we think will be best for the dolphins. someone that will be good for a long time"

    To me that tells me he is looking for a lineman as qb is too much of a crapshoot and he doesn't belive in taking running backs that high.

    No

    I did not really hear anything to make me believe he will bring in new guys.

    I also did not hear anything to make me believe he will keep who we have.

    He sounded non-committal on the issue. He was just speaking on his general philosophy for a GM and HC

    After listening to it again I get the vibe he is going to bring his own people in but to each his own.

    E: He also never mentioned Mueller or Camerons name when talking about it and he said numerous times he'll bring in someone.

    He also stated he wanted people he can work with that share the same philosophy. He never said he would retain the current staff just mentioned he might but immediately followed it with talking about if he brought new guys in.

    Man, Brown you just kind of hear what you want to hear. He didn't say he wouldn't pick a RB or QB at all, he just said he wants someone good that will be here a while, that can mean any position.

    He also doesn't say he wants to bring new people in, just that the people who are in those positions put football first. That doesn't mean he will get rid of anyone if Cam and Randy put football first. Its a wait and see game, stop twisting his words.

    I'm not saying he won't. I'm just saying that I believe he is making a point of not saying anything regarding the situation.

    If he is bringing in new people, it wouldn't be fair for him to say anything until the season concludes.

    No, he said more then once he will bring someone in to take of those jobs and sure I twisted the words when it came to draft time because based on history he will not take a quarterback or running back that high.

    My guess is Parcells is going to run this team his way, he has an idea of the type of players he wants and the GM needs to share his views. The coaching staff will also need to be aligned with Parcells vision for the team. As he stated, he needs the GM and Coach to share his philosophy.

    Exactly. Sounds to me like he is serving notice. He is simply saying that if you are going to be part of the Miami Dolphins, you had better be committed to winning.....or else.

    As we have seen so many times in years past on this board, people will twist interviews to fit their agenda.

    IMHO with all due respect guys, but do you really think that he is going to say exactly what he's going to doing in terms of bringing in a new HC or GM? Right now, he doesn't want be a distraction because of the upcoming big game against the Pats. He's always been great at handling the media and not giving alot of information about exactly what he's going to do or not.

    Now he is just going over the off-season schedule such as off-season surgery, trades, FA, college All-Star games etc.

    Now he is discussing what he is going to do once the season ends, and I must say I consider it a real treat to listen to the man speak.

    But I will say, from what he said, it sounds as if he is going to be handling the GM duties, and will be overseeing every aspect of personnel management. From evaluating injured players, to creating a mock draft, to bringing in scouts to bring in evaluations of personnel, etc.

    Basically he's bringing in someone who will "always agree with him" and who will take all the heat if anything goes wrong.

    On a side note it sounds like MeShawn Johnson is on his way for next year. I never really liked him. If he is going to be in a phins uni we may as well ship that pick we got for Chambers over with a mid rounder to cincy and make our 4 receivers next year......Chad Johnson, Ginn, Meshawn, and Greg Camarillo. LOL j/k of course. Could be though. Ya never know.

    Of course he isn't going to say what he is going to do but based on his wording I just get the vibe that Cameron and Mueller will both be gone along with many others.

    I disagree with your assertion he will bring someone who will always agree with him. Of course, whomever he brings in will share his general philosophy, and naturally, will agree with him a majority of the time. And trust me, if anything goes wrong, Parcells will take the heat.

    In regards to Keyshawn Johnson, I think he is a very good WR. He has been able to be productive without the physical tools that most great WR possess. He is definitely a guy who works extremely hard on his technique and preparation. He brings a lot of intangibles. He would be a great person to work with someone like Ginn.

    Keyshawn Johnson is absolutely the type of player we can be assured Bill Parcells will not bring in.

    IMHO I would stay away from Chad Johnson and MEshawn Johnson.
    Maybe, it's me but they are both such ME players and that is something that we don't need. Right now, I have no suggestions for a WR to bring in.

    This is part of the press briefing transcript of Wayne Huizienga from yesturday.

    “Let me make it broad-brushed, make it simple. Anything that has anything to do with football directly or indirectly reports to Bill. That includes doctors and trainers and everything.

    I would appreciate if you do not turn this into a back-and-forth thread about whether Parcells is going to keep Mueller and Cameron.

    I said it yesterday in my SI rating Ginn thread, Parcells and Keyshawn will hook back up and use him to improve our WRs. You heard Keyshawn, "When it comes to Bill anything is a possibility." I think the only question now is in what capacity, but I fully expected as soon as Parcells signed that Keyshawn will be involved with us next year.

    I do not see why people refer to Keyshawn as a selfish player, but to each his own.

    He only laid out the team structure.

    The GM will have final say authority on all personnel matters, and he will not overrule them. He's also going to have a guy maintaining the salary cap full time. I believe that could be Matt Thomas.

    There was nothing said about who's staying or going. The only mention regarding Cameron and Mueller was that he had not even begun to examine the situation. No decision has been made. He said they may keep the current GM, they might not.

    Also, he's heading down to Davie the day after Christmas. That's when he starts.

    And THAT'S what was said.

    Drew Bledsoe was drafted number one overall when he was coach and that is one of his favorite quarterbacks historically. Rumors are floating that he'll be a Dolphin next year. So quarterback is a possibility. He just went on a quarterback speech regarding Romo saying that the most important quality a QB can have is the ability to bounce back after horrible games and gain control of the huddle and exhibit leadership. He said some QBs simply dont have the mental makeup to be leaders. Parcells is going to evaluate our QBs psychologically to see if they have the stuff to lead our team. If he thinks Beck is a softee then Ryan is definitely an option

    When he was in NE he didn't have complete control of who was going to be taken and who wasn't like Terry Glenn.
