You don't hire him to stay for 10 years... you hire him to fix your shit

Let's not forget the two times (Bucs and Falcons) that he agreed to join a team and then changed his mind before ever actually spending a single day as an employee (coach/GM) of the team.

The Danny loves the current arrangement, because he has some say in personnel matters. With Parcells, he would have to hand over all authority, and unfortunately that ain't happening.

Yeah, Lil' Danny tried that back in 2001 when he reluctantly handed the keys over to Marty Schottenheimer. That lasted about a year.

On draft day in the war room, Parcells wouldn't let Lil' Danny in the room.

Agreed. Czabe had an interesting idea today on the radio - the best thing for the skins would be for Danny to fire Cerrato and not hire a replacement. By getting rid of the "insulation" Danny would have full control like Jerry Jones.After a year or two, Danny would be forced to realize how horrible he was and learn to stay out of his GMs way.

Personally, i think even Cerrato would be a better GM if danny were not so involved. As a fan, i understand Dannys desire to be involved in things. If i were a billionaire, i'd buy the redskins and get as involved in this stuff as I could too... but its simply not his forte.

If parcells did come here, it would be nice though. Unlike Gibbs and Cerrato, he would have the balls to tell Danny to back the h--- off.

Yes. Exactly. Pacellls or any serious GM professional will NEVER come to DC with the present arrangement. Nor will the Redskins consistently win with the present arrangement.

oh my god,

BILL PARCELLS???

DAN, SNYDER, mr SNYDER, i hope your listening or reading this.

PLEASE, PLEASE, do anything to bring the TUNA here. the nfc east foe, oh my (this is the sign), read the redskins history, learn something from Sam Huff trade. and your own past mistakes.

THE TUNA, is the greatest coach/GM there is then NFL history.
he = jerry west.

as much as i loved Gibbs, esp. during 82-92, the man was 2nd only to Vince Lombardi, and now i have to admit, the the Lombardi trohpy should be renamed to the Parcells/Tuna trophy. Not only he had Gibbs number but he is the only proven success there is. either he can bring you playoffs but built the team to be a competitor and SB bound.

HE IS THE GREATEST, (people read, do a little research, HISTORY)

I would like having Bill in the FO for the skins. He really knows his shit, and can bring in some young talent, or develop what we've already brought in.
The smart move for him is to go though. What would you do, work the remaining time on your contract for 12 mil, or take the 12 mil and sign somewhere else for another contract with another 12 mil?

Why the hell would the Danny want Parcells? Parcells would want the same arrangement Marty wanted in 2000, if not more. The Danny is about ego and power, not nearly as much as Jerry Jones, but still enough to affect his franchise.

[SmootSmack]

Don't know how legit it is, but there's a pretty hot rumor down at the Senior Bowl that now that the Dolphins' sale is official, Parcells is interested in taking his skills elsewhere.

Elsewhere as in out to Oakland and bringing in Todd Bowles to be his head coach.

Personally, I don't believe there's any way that happens. But who knows

Florio over at PFT suggested that it may be KC, and as a head coach, since Pioli (Parcells' son-in-law) just took the GM job out there. Interesting.

Yeah, I don't know about that. I mean why would Pioli take the job if he was going to then turn around and cede some control. I mean Pioli finally has what he always wanted, full control. I'd be surprised if he gave it up but I guess anything's possible.

I agree. In addition to what you mentioned, there would be the whole my son-in-law is my boss thing going on.
