In the New York Post exclusive , the suddenly-not-so-****y reigning OTA Super Bowl champion Rex Ryan speaks of his intention to contact Parcells and ask for assistance. I'm assuming that the Jets coach, who has lost four of five, was not joking.
Would the Dolphins' czar field a call from a division foe?
"I don't know," Ryan said. "But there's no doubt, I'll put a call in to him."
Hall of Fame linebacker Harry Carson, who played for Parcells with the Giants, believes that Parcells would take the call.
"I think Bill would be willing to help Rex, or guide Rex," Carson said. "Bill's been there, he's done that. He's coached that team, he knows what the organization is about, he knows what New York is about."
It's not unusual for coaches and executives from opposing NFL teams to speak during the season. I know, for instance, that Dave Wannstedt used to call upon Parcells, among others, from time to time.
But it would surprise me if someone as secretive as Parcells would share information or even advice with a division rival, even if it's a division rival the Dolphins won't see again this season.
