Al Groh s chances improve to re-join Bill Parcells coaching staff
http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thedailydolphin/2010/01/07/could-al-groh-be-re-joining-bill-parcells-staff/
The defections of linebackers coaches Jim Reid and George Edwards would open the door for Bill Parcells to hire Al Groh once again.
The idea of a Groh-Parcells’ reunion has been floating around ever since he the University of Virginia fired him. But now there are a couple of openings that would be a good fit for him.
Groh coached linebackers for Parcells with the Giants in 1989-90 and the Jets in 1997-99. He also was the Patriots defensive coordinator under Parcells in 1993-96 and the Jets head coach in 2000 when Parcells was the team’s general manager.

Plus Sparano likes positional coaches who were former head coaches as well.

I think he was the LB coach with Parcells in the mid to late 80's cant be a bad thing

Yea, I seem to recall their LB crew was pretty good back then. :wink2:

I would think Groh would take a job as a DC, no?

I like this. A lot.
Al Groh is being considered for a DC job in college so I doubt we top his list


Parcells can be persuasive. when he really wants something, he usually gets it

Depends too on how important it is to Groh to get back into the NFL. He may be happier coaching college kids. If he does want to get back though, Groh to Miami would seem to be a match made in heaven.

Plus, Parcells could pay him 3 times more to be LB Coach than he figures to make as a DC anywhere except maybe USC.
Rumor in Atlanta is that he may take the Georgia Tech DC job. It was on the AJC.com and reported by several radio and tv stations here.
