Currently on the front page of ESPN.com:

"Not So Fast: No Deal For Parcells

Bill Parcells and the Atlanta Falcons had a deal in principle Tuesday night. By Wednesday afternoon, it was gone. The team said Wednesday that Parcells "would not be signing a contract with us" and that Parcells is "considering a revised offer from the Miami Dolphins."""

Wow, sounds like this may happen after all!

Seems like TUNA was using Atlanta to get more power / money from Wayne...

Seems to have worked.. Lets hope it pays off!

The way some of the fans and players continue to support Michael Vick I'd say run, don't walk from Atlanta.

Nope they stated they will not be signing an offer with Atlanta, so they leaves Miami pretty much the only offer out there now...

Man I wonder right now what Cam and Randy are doing? I would be ****ting in my pant's as bill would require alot of Power in the Organazation, so Randy my guess is on the outs... Cam Might get a repreve.

But it would be nice to have a FOOTBALL guy in charge finally!

This would be great! As a GM I'm not as sold, but as a VP he'd be great! He could help scout for players and coaches!

They were just talking about this on Mike and Mike in the morning.

OH man it might not even be the Dolphins, they are now talking about maybe the GIANTS would bring him in to run the show there. Lets keep our fingers crossed BIG TUNA IN SOUTH BEACH sounds nice, but he has New York Roots..

Nope. Mortensen said Arthur Blank told him quote on quote he is now considering Miami's offer!

I think it's a done deal!

Edit: He's now completely rejected ATLs offer. From a statement from Arthur Blank.

He also said this AM that he was taking the Job in Atlanta that there were no deal breakers left to discuss.

Wayne must have just opened the vaults and blew him away..

I just don't like this at all... There is no hope for progression next year if the deal goes through... It will take another 2 years before this team is decent and I believe that we could be there alot sooner without him... And to be bold about it, if Parcells is hired as the GM... I don't see us in the playoffs til 2010 at the earliest...

This is just BAD NEWS guys!!!!

If bill is hired, i think we say bye to cam and in comes maurice carthon. carthon was assistant head coach to bill in his early days and wouldnt be suprised to see him come in...

^ that was len pasquarelli's thoughts on if bill gets hired somewhere. I threw in the " I think we say bye to cam"

According to reports, Bill Parcells will not be the GM. He will oversee the football operations and will hire a GM, but he will not be the GM himself. Chris Mortensen said that Bill Parcells does not want to be a GM or a HC. He just wants to oversee the football operations.

Basically, it seems to be a situation where Bill Parcells will set up the structure of the scouting department and hire a general manager to do the general manager work within the organization. The offer will probably give Bill Parcells the authority to hire and fire the head coach as well.
