I'm not really all that clear about what Parcells was doing for us on a day to day, anyway.

I suppose he was managing personnel, at least in name.  So, I'm sad to see the name go, but I don't think it will make much of an on-field difference.

I do like Sparano, so far.  I am a little unclear on some of the personnel decisions, though, so maybe this will be a good thing.

I had imagined this being more of an impact to me but now that the news is here I really don't care.

My first thought is that this puts a little more heat on Sparano if the team underperforms again this year.  There is no more "In Parcels We Trust" mentality to lean on.

i guess it doesn't mean a whole lot other than the fact that you'll start to see a lot more of carl peterson around the dolphins.

Bingo!!!!   According to Steelers S Ryan Clark, he spurned a more lucrative offer in Miami and stayed in Pittsburgh because of Ireland. Ireland also stepped over the line with the Dez Bryant incident. Who knows what else Ireland has had responsibility for?   Something tells me Parcells didn't like some of Ireland's decisions this preseason and sees the writing on the wall.


Look out everyone, things could get ugly really fast.

I'm disappointed....in the subject line.  Surely you could have somehow worked in that the Tuna is no longer buying the groceries or something to that effect?  C'mon Hoodie, you have a reputation to uphold.

One of two things is happening. Either Bill sees we are self destructing and doesn't want to be a part of it or he is setting Ireland up for a fall. I find the timing way too odd to belive this was planned.

this team is shit. He is getting the f out.

I was going for the "Dolphin-safe Tuna" angle.

Ah, missed that.  Weak. LOL

Not sure what to think at this point... I suppose that as long as the right decisions get made to put the best players on the roster and best coaches on the sideline, it doesn't really matter to me who's rubberstamping the decisions.

Let's see how it plays out...I'm sure we'll get a lot more details in the coming weeks.

What negativity!  Maybe he feels like Ireland is ready to take the reins and isn't needed anymore.  He's old and maybe is thinking about retiring - for real this time.  Maybe he just thinks Ireland is "ready to be the man" and is beginning the transition back to Shady Acres Retirement Home.

It been three years...time for him to move on.  That is about BP's limit before he gets bored. 

Next stop the Bills so he can be the first coach to be associated with every team in a division. 

[Pappy13]

^^^ The Bills could probably use him.

Just sayin' the timing is all wrong. If it was in the offseason or at the end of a successful year I would look at it differently.
