1. Coach the Miami Dolphins
2. Coach the Atlanta Falcons
3. Coach another team
4. Retire for life
DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - Bill Parcells’ day began with reports he would rebuild the Atlanta Falcons. It ended with him on the cusp of taking the same job with the Miami Dolphins.
Parcells and Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga agreed Wednesday on a four-year contract to be Miami’s vice president of football operations, according to ESPN, which employs the two-time Super Bowl-winning coach as an analyst.
The Dolphins declined comment, only saying no contract has been signed, and no one at Huizenga’s business office was authorized to comment when reached Wednesday evening by The Associated Press.
Miami’s players were also caught off-stride by the news, which broke after they finished practice.
I don’t know anything, defensive end Jason Taylor said.
So, for the second time in less than a week, an off-field story is dominating the conversation at Miami’s training complex.
The first revelation came last Friday: Huizenga has been in talks about selling the team to two real estate developers for about $1.1 billion, although it seems that deal has since unraveled and there’s no immediate plans by the owner to sell even a portion of the franchise.
And now this: Parcells, who previously coached the Giants, Patriots, Jets and Cowboys, is apparently set to return to the NFL.

Dude ! he’ll get paid bout $2 mil to stabilize the fins
Who said anything about coaching? This seems like more of a front-office thing…
Uh, none of your four options. He’ll be in the Dolphins’ front office. They hired him as a VP.
He is not going to Coach. He is going to be front office. Might be in charge of over seeing the Coaches. If Miami give him enough money that’s who he will sign with. I think the thing with the Falcons was to make Miami up the Anti and it worked.
He’ll get the Dolphins back on track to be a decent football team again.
if parcells takes over the fish, he may be dead by 09. it seems to me like the falcons offer as grand football guru made more sense. bring in all bill guys then sit back and watch.
wow, ‘cops’ is gripping tonight! it featured two semi hot sisters with kids fighting, a loud mouth punk with a knife, AND a domestic with broken bones. big bill ought to try and fix that!
pick good players for the fins
Well, how many time have Tuna retired from coaching and un-retired.. so he could coach another team. But We can give home some credits for winning Super Bowls with Giants, turning around Cryboys. But, everywhere he went, he made the management scratching their heads…
Vice-president of football operations. In other words, he will be The Man for the Fins. Will decide all the personnel; coaches, players. etc….
