They just had Peter King on NBC saying that some other NFL teams could challenge whether Parcells could hire a GM for the Phins. Does anyone know why this would be an issue??? :confused2:

Care to elaborate on King's reasoning? It's hard to say one way or another if we don't have any details.

King said that since Bill Parcells accepted the position of V.P. of Football Operations and made it clear that he would not be the Dolphin's GM, other teams could challenge Parcells if he asked to interview other team's GM for a GM position with Miami.

I didn't see the broadcast, but he is probably talking about the situation with Pioli and Ireland. To hire away from another team, Parcells would have to prove it is a promotion job. That is why it has been mentioned that getting Ireland from Cowboys could involve us giving them draft pick(s).

Maybe, brother. But, isn't Ireland in charge of college scouting or something with the Cowboys and NOT GM?

Jerry Jones is the GM for Dallas, Ireland to Miami as the GM would be a promotion for Ireland.

That makes absolutely no sense. As the VP of Football Operations, Parcells has sole responsibility for hiring and firing the General Manager. Since he has stated he won't be the GM, that means the organization could be in the market for a GM.

We won't give up a single thing for Jeff Ireland, if Parcells truly wishes to hire him. Ireland would see a promotion in both title--from Director of College and Pro Scouting to General Manager--and authority--final decision-making on which players to add and remove from the roster.

That makes zero sense in either what King said or how you transcribed it.

King made it sound like it would be "tampering" if Parcells tried to talk to other teams GM's about coming over to the Phins. Maybe King has had a little too much spiked egg nog? :lol:

Tampering happens all the time in the NFL, but charges are practically never filed. Jones has an ego, but if he files tampering charges over Jeff Ireland becoming the Miami General Manager, he's going to lose the case.

:lol: I can see the tampering thing RE: another team's "GM" but not another team's subordinate to the GM, am I right? If I am, then thanks Peter for stating the obvious :001_rolleyes:

THe Impression I got from the Peter King spot was the sence that he was describing the scenario that may occur if he tries to hire Pioli from that Pats. Just he manner that King stated it he was leaving out spcific names. It will be a very intereesting Off Season

Lord of the Rings were the greatest movies ever made.

NFL rules prohibit coaches and management from taking a "lateral move" while under contract. If an offensive cordinator wants to move to another team, it has to be a promotion like "assistant head coach". What I think Peter King meant was since Parcells is VP of operations then the only title left is GM. We couldn't hire a GM from another team to be GM for our team unless their contract was up. I think Scott Pioli is assistant GM which meant we could hire him and give him the GM title. Plus I think he is Parcells Son in law.

That's what I got out of it. I heard a rumor that Parcells wants Pioli to take GM then his VP with same conditions when he retires in 4 years. The Krafts will fight like heck to keep that from happening.

Yeah I think he was talking about Ireland and said we would likely see this happen 2 to 3 weeks from now and they would give Parcells a hard time.

Jones has no business filing charges on us, Ireland will be our pay back for Jason Garrett

I still don't get the Jason Garrett love, but hey, I'll gladly take that trade. They can keep Garrett, we'll take Ireland.
