Come fix the Panthers Bill!

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Bill Parcells doesn't sound like a man ready to retire anytime soon.

On a conference call with New York reporters to discuss his enshrinement in the New York Giants' Ring of Honor on Sunday night, Parcells was asked about his future. And Parcells, who recently turned over control of the Miami Dolphins to general manager Jeff Ireland but remains with the team as a daily consultant, said he is open to doing something new.

"Well that is a good question," Parcells said when asked about what his future holds now. "I am not a sit around the fire place guy. I don't know. I am not certain about it. We will see what happens when the time comes. I know I want to do something even if it is not day-to-day or something like that, I know I want to do something. I don't like sitting around. I like to get up and go do something. We will figure it out when the time comes."

When asked about his health, Parcells, 69, said he is doing well.

"I am doing pretty good," Parcells said. "I got my weight way down. I am feel pretty good, I work out good. I have been pretty fortunate. You have little things here and there but when you are my age, that is what happens. You keep the truck moving if you can."

Parcells can reportedly leave the Dolphins organization at any time and still be paid the $12 million due on his four-year contract that runs through the 2011 season.

I doubt he takes head coaching job, but it would be awesome to have him be director of scouting, or something to that effect. The guy simply knows how to put teams together.

Director of scouting?

I'd fire Hurney and Morrison right now and let him be GM/President and whatever other title he wants

Hurney is a salary cap genius (supposedly). That's the only reason I would want to keep him on the payroll. Sure Parcells is a genius when it comes to drafting, but I don't know if I trust him in the finance department.. he has no experience there.

Whatever, lets do it.

Parcells is one of, if not the, best football minds of our time.

It'd be great to have him here but, with the reported relationship that Hurney and JR have I dont see it happening.

He did a pretty good job with Miami, but in Dallas, he had some HORRENDOUS draft picks. Bobby Carpenter anyone? lol

He basically drafted Carpenter because of his lineage.. Parcells coached Bobby's father back in the day.

Yeah, I like Parcells, he did a nice job building Miami. I guess everyone misses on draft picks on occasion, some more than others... cough Al Davis cough
