Did Parcells have anything to do with Playcalling?

[josekareh]

The Playcalling angainst NE was just great, I am wondering if Sparano and his coaches made that up, I know the wildcat formation was already used in college, but the whole game was very well coached and called..

Does Sparano have the brains to make that up or was that the TUNA the one who came up with the Game Plan..

I hope Sparano did it on his own....

dude who cares....if they did it 2gether than great teamwork if not...we have both guys on OUR team so its alright

Its not the sparano-fecta, its the tri-fecta...so who cares?

Sounds like Sparano and the rest of the coaching staff came up with it. Here is a little article about it. Great read. Defiantly sounds like we have the right man for the job.

No sooner did Miami's team plane leave Arizona last week after a 31-10 loss than Sparano began looking ahead to the Patriots. Before touching down, the coaching staff hatched an offensive game plan around the "Wild Hog'' formation, with running back Ronnie Brown taking direct snaps.

I don't know who came up with it, but in terms of overturning the status quo, there's no doubt in my mind that a pizzed-off Tuna mandated a more innovative gameplan change.

Bill Parcells was a great coach and over the years has earned an incredible reputation. But the love affair with this guy is a joke. How can you legitimately believe that Bill Parcells was responsible for the play of this offense on Sunday?

The "wildcat" formation using Ronnie was being planned pre season but delayed because of Ronnies thumb sprain.

I think David Lee (QB Coach) used this formation a lot in college, so he likely had a lot to do with it.

Parcells is basically a senior consultant to the GM. It's foolish to believe he had anything to do with gameplans. He specifically turned down the HC position because he didn't want to work the 80 weeks involved in formulating and implementing a weekly gameplan at his age.

I would say it would take about 10 minutes for Parcells to tell sparano to start implamenting the new formation and then going next door to Hennings office and puch him in the nose. :err:

not directly, but when he said You mutha ****ers better find a way to win this week he has some hand in this

And I would say that's a foolishly naive fan's point of view; projecting what they would like to see happen based on their own emotional reaction to two losses. I would also say Parcells doesn't think like a fan ... he thinks like a 30 year NFL coach who has inherited several teams trying to make due with depleted talent, just like Sparano currently is. So he probably doesn't think like you do. And I also doubt he's punching a life long friend in the nose.

Friend of bill let me introduce you to humor
but i will add to your comment, because i do believe it has a lot of merit, it would also be foolishly naive to think Parcells was not angry after Arizona and then moreso COMPLETELY naive to believe he would not express that anger, even to a life long friend.

I really dont care, i just love the fact we are doing a lot more things such as shotgun, widlhog. insteead of the lame two TE sets we were using previously.
