Bill Parcells stepping aside, Jeff Ireland moving up: So what's the big deal?

Agreed.

Plus I agree with Mike Florio of PFT that Parcells is doing this to protect Ireland and Sparano from personnel moves Stephen Ross might want to make (i.e. Carl Peterson).

100% agreed!

I just got home and saw the news on the NFL Network ticker and barely batted an eye, then I open my laptop and it’s like the whole Dolphins-verse had exploded.

The only news angle I see here is how this may expose Ireland to Ross and his Carl Peterson loving ways, but that exposure was always going to happen, it’s only a question of timing.

Idk, I was hoping you could tell me.

or a bad thing. I do know it was an inevitable thing.

People come and go. If we can’t survive that, we might as well give up now and dissolve the franchise.

in essence, nobody knows how involved Parcells has been up till now, nor do we know how that will change, if at all, going forward.

IMO, I see it as no big deal since Parcells is essentially staying on as Consigliere….

Damn!

Where there is smoke, there’s fire. And we’re stuck in the F’N closet. New regime in 2 years. Bet on it.

And Pat White was Parcell’s pick….

Ireland’s biggest responsibility with the Dolphins has been coordinating the college and Canadian Football scouting efforts and running the Dolphins’ draft. While Ireland has had a hand in all personnel moves, Brian Gaine has mostly been in charge of directing the pro scouting efforts. Parcells has been an overseer of both departments.

Now Ireland will take on additional responsibilities in the pro scouting department, as well as having a more authoritative position in contract negotiations.

So I guess we know how the Trifecta operated and who did what.

will we need an OC next year, Jeff?

Because leaving now gives Tuna the ability to take credit if they are successful, and Ireland and Sparano can take the heat if it doesn’t work.

The case has been made that his job for the season was over anyway, then why not just announce now that BP will retire at the end of the year, if he doesn’t have to do anything anyway, just sayin.

But the fact of the matter, as pointed out by many sources, is that this is the slow period of the NFL personnel calendar. Scouting for the draft won’t begin just yet. Free agency is as slow as it can get now after the final wave of cuts this past weekend. Now is the time for a change on the personnel side of things.

I wish I had thought of that…. lol

You guys have way to much time on ur hands to be worried about a GM lol. Football can not get here any sooner so u guys can have something to talk about and do lol. (just messing).(New here so don’t hurt me to bad lol)

Lincoln waited for Antietam.
MacArthur waited for the Philippines.
Nixon waited for Watergate.
Tuna waited for preseason to end.

Parcells was happy with roster and leaves now or steps to the side to protect his guys. When Miami goes to playoffs an wins at least one Ross has a hard time firing Bill’s guys and bringing in Peterson. Bill is loyal and this nis his play to keep his guys in employment, so for Irlands and Sparanos sake we better make the playoffs and advance a round or more
