Just what this team needs. A revolving door at the head coaching spot.

I don't think Parcells has anything left. Based on his (lack of) success in MIA I think the game has just passed him by. Parcells hasn't been relevant (when it comes to winning) in a long time.

The article doesn't mention when the Wilf made that offer to Parcells. I'm guessing it was before Spielman was promoted.

I could see Parcells wanting to try one more time as a the VP/GM, but I don't think he would want to coach more than a year.

Also, he is 71, probably loaded and is already a HOF figure, why would he come to a losing franchise in Minnesota?

When I read the title of this thread, I could not have been more confused. Can you please change "Tuna" to "Bill Parcells" please? Laughing

I'm thinking [UMN] is probably right, this is probably when the Vikings were determining if Spielman was going to be GM. I doubt Parcells would come back to coach. But it does sound like in the article anyway, that they offered him his choice of positions.

I want nothing to do with Parcells, he is partly responsible for the mess that has become of the Miami Dolphins.

There is zero chance of Parcells coming to Minnesota except maybe as a temporary "consultant" to give Zygi a state-of-the-organization report and help him overhaul the coaching staff and front office as needed. And even that is extremely unlikely.

The bigger question is why Zygi was talking to Parcells at all if he supposedly has so much faith in Rick Spielman.

Eh?

I remember hearing years back when he was contemplating returning to the pros, that he preferred to be somewhere warm. (Hence why he was in Dallas and Miami).

I guess I dont see Parcells having much desire to come back unless its for his ideal situation ( a warm team where he would have complete control). I dont think at this point he is lining up for any job that is out there.

It just makes little sense, the team just promoted Spielman. So you bring Tuna in, you have to fire Tuna and Spielman. That makes little sense at this point, or even next year.
