I gottcha and my point is basically not letting speculation become "fact" which I seen thrown out here before, but I won't mention Parcells as a legit option realistically and keep saying what I said until it "might" happen.

I am excited to see who the next coach will be. This is like Christmas morning all over again!
There's nothing exciting about going through this again. I'm more po'd then anything. I won't be excited until the next GM/coach can prove they can put together a winning team.

I hope your wrong about Parcells since he still is UNDER CONTRACT with Miami.
BTW for you guys who don't know, Parcells pulls this every damn year, at the end of eveery seasosn he "contemplates" leaving well don't see it here since Miami did make the playoffs, but this is his schtick his way of getting out of situations,
Fletch, let me catch you up on a few things..
Parcells, to my knowledge hasn't said a thing... Also, there is reportedly an out clause in his contract if Wayne Huizinga sells the team which was reported that he has done.
So what people are thinking is that Parcells may want out and he has the ability to get out based on the reported out clause.
Mort this morning was saying the contract was 3 mil a year for 4 years and the out clause if the fins are sold and apparently that sale will be final today. Parcells can then use the clause to walk away getting the rest 9 mil left on the contract. The clause states that Parcells has to report only to Huizenga. Now the new owner can renegotiate that clause with Parcells on a year by year basis to see how the job will work for him moving forward. Sounds more like the sensible thing to do for Parcells if he likes living in Miami and since he's not making any trips to see the road games, you have to figure he likes staying in Miami.

Just to catch you up since you missed it in my posts: Quote:

This clause in his contract has been in his contract everr since his days with New England. Every year he can opt out does he? No. Like I said speculating right now is foolish wait till it's fact and you'll see me hollering for him over anyone else mentioned thus far, but I will wait and not "hope" for something Parcells hasn't even decided on.

As per our conversation yesterday.............WE GOTTA GET THAT GUY!
Hey, RAC is a nice guy and I'm sure he gave it his best. But he's just not NFL HC material.
Good luck to him wherever he lands his DC gig.
Or I pity the fan base where he's hired as a HC.
Which ever way it goes.

I left out the Miami living area but he does make his home in Florida, this is the place Bill Parcells drives to after the season to contemplate his next move since his contracts always have opt out clauses.

My guess as coach will be:
Jim Schwartz.
He started here in Cleveland, and is not defensive coordinator for a Tennessee Titan team that has a great defense. Perfect right?

Schwartz to be next Browns coach?
Titans Defense - TM - TEN - Dec. 28 - 6:45 pm et
An NFL executive told the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Terry Pluto that he believes the Browns will hire Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz as their next head coach.
Romeo Crennel figures to be fired on Black Monday. Browns GM Phil Savage is already out. Schwartz was nearly hired by the Redskins last offseason before owner Dan Snyder surprised everyone by going with Jim Zorn. Schwartz was also in the mix for head gigs Atlanta and Miami last winter. Dec. 28 - 6:45 pm et

Browns | Team on Parcells' radar
Mon, 29 Dec 2008 06:01:32 -0800
Chris Mortensen, of ESPN.com, reports the Cleveland Browns could be on Miami Dolphins executive vice president of football operations Bill Parcells' radar should Parcells opt out of his contract with the team in the offseason.

It depends. Who does he bring in for Offensive Coordinator?
I would really like to get someone who has a smash mouth mentality. Get rid of this pass happy crap. Build a great defense and running game.

Thanks, Turk. It's hard to believe that anyone can speculate on a head coach when we haven't hired a GM.
However, in the head coaching carousel, I think that Schwartz is second or third on the list, and the Browns are second or third in the pecking order of coaching opportunities. That is probably why his name is matched with us.

Are the Redskins going to let Zorn go? And I don't know if many coaches would want to go to the Jets. You have to deal with Favre and the NY media, which I have a feeling is worse than the Cleveland media.

He gets my nod though. We need to get a defensive minded guy BACK in here. It should help right?
Defense wins games. The Bears proved it last week, and the Eagles proved it yesterday.
And someone else commented on the running game. Man it would be nice to have a two head monster here. I envy Carolina.

Who cares? I'd rather have the solid choice then the exciting choice. Winning excites me, I don't need a big name. Look at the Falcons, their HC choice certainly wasn't "exciting" but I bet winning 11 games and making the playoffs has been thrilling!

Zorn is as good as gone. He had a great year, until he lost like, 5 straight games.
Snyder is extremely demanding, almost Jerruh Jones like.
