http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/01/04/dolphins.parcells.ap/index.html Wayne talked to Bill and Bill has stated he "likes it here" and will be staying on for next year.
I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Remember these words? I was convinced he was staying after he stated he was, after that snake bite, I'm not so opfinistic.
I hope he stays of course, and almost all media reports say he will. But then there's this update to Mando's blog this afternoon: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/2009/01/an-uneasy-fee-1.html What in the wide wide world of sports is a goin' on here??? Unless it's just for the business side, which would seem weird? I'm really kinda confused, and won't feel good about the situation till I see Tuna on ESPN saying, "I'm staying."
I think Parcells and Wayne want things to stay as they are, but the ultimate decision is being made by Ross. I'm not too thrilled.
I just cried like Brett Favre at a news conference. Please tell me they just brought him to work as a jock strap boy.
c. Bill Parcells and Carl Peterson together in Miami -- Peterson is a favorite of new Miami owner Steve Ross -- is more of an odd couple than Felix and Oscar. If that ever happens, I'm buying at Starbucks. For the world. Now that we know Parcells is going to stay in Miami, Peterson's going to have to look elsewhere. ----Peter King's MMQ
Right, I saw that too. But then why is Peterson on the sideline, apparently referring to the Phins as "we" and "we're." After the whole Saban thing, I'm jaded, what can I say! I'll believe it when I see it.
Good lord people - has it occured to you that Carl Peterson, with his highly acclaimed business acumen, could be taking Joe Bailey's job, who is leaving?
You guys have to understand, Armando thrives on trying to stir up crap where none exists. He was one of the first to come up with "JJ is going to cut Marino".
It has, but until I hear that's the case, I'm doubtful. Then again, I think if there were a real issue here, you'd have Mort all over this for ESPN. He was the one saying Saban would be leaving when Saban was saying, "I did not have sexual relations .... with that woman," etc. etc. When Mort gets involved, there's usually some segment of truth. And so far, nothing from him that I've seen. Or from Clayton either. So I guess I do see some hope, but until it's all etched in stone, I'm a little uneasy, that's all. You just can't discount this yet!
I pray to Baby Jesus that he will make it so...... We are doomed if Peterson takes over this franchise.
Who the hell know I know Rosss would be a fool to screw up whats happening on the football side of the team...Petersen aside from being a crapy talent evaluator was know for being very astute about the other end of the business.
