Former Miami Dolphins Czar Bill Parcells "The Bottom Line...Is Wins and Losses"

PrintFormer Miami Dolphins football czar Bill Parcells appeared on Monday Night Legends at the Bistro on ESPN 760 in West Pam Beach last night, talking about his golf game, enjoying South Florida, the New York Giants, the New England Patriots, the Dallas Cowboys, Tim Tebow, Andrew Luck, and Tony LaRussa and Bob Knight. Oh, yeah, he also spoke about the team he used to lead in Miami.
After some introductory talk about Parcells' golf game, the host of the show, Steve Politziner, made a "statement" on behalf of Parcells (who was sitting right next to him), saying, "The Dolphins were 20-16 while Bill was in managment control with the team. Now [he's been] out of the team for 14-months, and he's proud of what he left there, and wishes everyone he worked with at the Dolphins the best."
Parcells then added, "I wish them well. Maybe things can pick up here a little at the end of the year."
The host then continued, saying that, despite seeing a lot of winless teams over the years, the Dolphins were the winless team with the most fight they had ever seen. Did Parcells think that the team's fight, and how head coach Tony Sparano prepared the team each week, was a testiment to Parcells' coaching tree.
"The bottom line in this business, unfortunately, is wins and losses," Parcells replied, "and unfortunately it hasn't gone as everyone would have liked [it] to. But there's still some football left. Teams improve as they go, and maybe there's a chance that can happen."
Parcells doesn't sound too confident that Sprano will be able to survive the 2011 season.

I hate Bill Parcells.
It’s a strong word, to describe strong feelings. I don’t care what the conditions were. When he accepted the job as VP of Football Operations for the Miami Dolphins, he shouldn’t have left while his hand-picked staff was struggling to build a winning organization.
It’s a testament to him. I don’t give a rat’s ass about the 11-5 season. Is he really going to try to convince the fan base that he had something to do with that? It’s an insult.

Well said!

Miss the misery.
Need a reason for a change.
Need a reason to explain.
So turn it on again.
Don't change your mind.
You're wasting light.
Did you hear last night on Monday Night that Parcells would've liked to have taken Jimmy Graham in the 4th round??
But instead of him, he decided to go ahead and draft the marshmallow: John Jerry.

I think I developed hypertension while reading this comment.
Bill Parcells is a liar and a cheat. There are multiple reasons that Bill Parcells would have NEVER drafted Jimmy Graham:
1.) He is not (and might not ever be) a TRUE tight end. He is not a skilled blocker.
2.) He barely played in college. Parcells likes players that have multiple years of starting experience and productivity.
3.) He played for Miami. In his time with the Dolphins, Bill Parcells never spent so much as a seventh round pick on a Miami player. This despite having a hometown squad of athletes that have proven to be incredibly successful in the NFL, who would love to play for their hometown pro team.
4.) Jimmy Graham was drafted in the third round, Bill. He was the fifth tight end off the board. You watched Jermaine Gresham, Rob Gronkowski, Ed Dickson and Tony Moeaki get drafted, and didn’t think Graham might be getting picked soon? You obviously identified tight end as a need since you said you were going to draft him. What happened, then? After Graham was drafted you watched Aaron Hernandez and Dennis Pitta get picked up. So your solution is to draft A.J. Edds? You know who I would rather have than A.J. Edds? Clay Harbor. Yeah, he was taken six picks later.
I could go on. But it would just require a higher dose of blood pressure medication.

“You have to build your team on the interior lines, outward.” Bill Parcells
He’ll also go on to say you need to have a slow, bruising running back; and must give him the ball 47 times per game. Then, just to change it up a little, you throw a pass 10 to 12 times per game. Hey…maybe he should go be the “Czar” of the Denver Broncos now? That’d be right up his alley.
God forbid you take a skill player, with the talent of Jimmy Graham,while addressing a position of need, instead. Nah…stupid idea.

Except John Jerry was a third round pick.

Exactly
Jimmy Graham was taken in the third round.
Parcells (allegedly) wanted to take him in the fourth round.
If Parcells had “risked” missing out on John Jerry by taking Jimmy Graham in the third, and targeting John Jerry as a fourth round pick, Miami would have gotten an awesome tight end.
lmao @ the marshmallow...
