A tribute to Bill Parcells

I don't know why I am doing this. For one, he's been gone for a year now. I'm just feeling strange (not the Strange) and had it on my mind. Yeah, don't ask what is on my mind. I don't even know. Just don't expect me to do this again... ever! Below is a tribute to Bill Parcells, but it's a remix of Weird Al's Amish Paradise.

Star-divide

As I walk to my office where coaches pick my brain
I take a look at my playbook and realize it's very plain
But that's just perfect for a coach like me
You know I shun things like creativity

At 4:30 in the mornin' I'm scouting the trenches
Lookin' at film and to see how much Long benches
And I've been using this system so long that
Even Al Davis thinks my style is gone

I'm a man of the trenches, I'm into linemen
Drafting the guy that benches, forget about Ryan
But if I finish my scouting report, and you finish thine.
Then tomorrow we're going to draft like it's 1989.

We've been spending most our lives living in a Linemen paradise.
I spurn QBs once or twice, living in a Linemen paradise.
It's the TE prospect we sacrifice, living in a Linemen paradise.
We sign WRs at discount price, living in a Linemen paradise.

A former coached kick my butt last week
I just smiled at him, and I said his line was really weak
I really don't care, in fact I'll buy him beers.
Because I'll be out of this city in three more years

But I ain't ever drafted a QB even if he deserved it
A stubborn coach like me, you know that's unheard of
I never draft receivers, but I get defensive linemen
And my coaches agree they'll look good in aqua, fool

If you come to a game, you'll be throwin' beers
We haven't won at home in 2 ½ years
But we ain't really flashy, so please don't point and stare
We're just creatively impaired

There's no receivers, no quarterbacks, no one with agility
Like Robonson Crusoe, we're as primitive as can be

We've been spending most our lives living in a Linemen paradise.
We just draft those heavy guys, living in a Linemen paradise.
There's no need for Ted Ginn or Ray Rice, living in a Linemen paradise.
We're afraid to roll the dice, living in a Linemen paradise.

Scoutin' up the heavyweights, lookin' at a center
Drafted a dude named Pouncey, next we'll sign his brother
Think you're really fast? Think you're really smart?
Well, we'll run that ball right up the heart

I'm the Big Tuna little coaches want to be like
In my golf cart day and night ruining our rookies for life
So don't blow a gasket, let off some steam
Or else I might have to draft another guard for the team

We've been spending most our lives living in a Linemen paradise.
Draft day will make your eyes bleed, living in a Linemen paradise.
We'll be looking for the usual seeds, living in a Linemen paradise.
We neglect our other needs, living in a Linemen paradise.
Yeah

Well Done Finhead!! Rec'd

I had some reservations when Parcells was hired, but overall I felt it was a good move at the time. My big question at the time was whether his philosophy would result in playoff wins. When he was hired, his previous teams with the Jets and Cowboys hadn’t won a playoff game in 10 years. But what I knew he would bring to the franchise was a toughness and an accountability that had been lacking with Saban and Cam.

What I didn’t realize when he was hired was just how different the NFL had become. Big, slow, powerful teams playing close games was a thing of the past and Parcells and company (Ireland and Sparano) didn’t or couldn’t adapt to what the NFL had become which was a Fast, Dynamic, Explosive league.

Hopefully Ireland sees what the NFL is now and change the direction of the franchise. These next couple of months are going to be real interesting.

REC !

I was afraid that you really meant to talk about the things he did right…silly me.
You know I hate me some “Fat tuna”… I have tried to move on, but until we actually draft a few playmakers – not f n g linemen every year its so hard. … Last year yet again – we draft Pouncy…. while i know Bill did some good things – it was very clear to me – after year one – that – his style wouldnt work anymore. All you had to do was watch us dominate the Colts running the ball – only to lose to Peyton on a few deep throws…
I am so glad this whole group is gone…and still want Jeff fired too. He deserves it simply for being part of the problem… he signed off on all those linemen as well.
but where are all those Parcells supporters – now that its clear that he was a failure ?
Really – where are they ?

funny

but i have no problem with irelands draft at all last year not one player made me mad when we drafted him which is alot to say for most dolphins drafts. i honestly think ireland will be better without parcells which is an old issue while were at it. his FA pickups were good except columbo last year and so were his trades so far hes done a bang up job with the scrap of crap parcells left the one thing missing is a qb but thats missing on 26 of the 32 teams in football

I was also satisfied with the draft last year.

I actually was hoping they’d take Pouncey. This isn’t meant to criticize the OL picks. Just taking a shot at the Tuna.

Whose was it?

And rec’d as soon as I get to real computer.

"The first thing I do when I get out of bed and feel the jolt in my knees is think of Roy Winston. On the second step, my calcified Adam's apple starts bobbing, and I think of Carl Eller. A few more steps in the dark and it's Willie Lanier. By the time I get to the bathroom, I'm flashing back to Dick Butkus and Ray Nitschke. And when the light finally comes on, I just hope that somewhere in the darkness they're thinking of me, too" - Larry Csonka.
