Agreed, but he never won or competed in a Super Bowl when he had personnel responsibilities and he had never hired a head coach before he came to the Dolphins. I shudder when I think of his 2 biggest misses on the personnel side - Jake Long over Matt Ryan with the number 1 overall pick and taking Pat White in the 2nd round. If a gust came up, it would knock Pat White for a 3 yard loss and a concussion.I understand what you are saying but it's not as if Parcells had somehow never been on the front office side of things. He had final say in personnel decisions in the past. And you couldn't have a better track record as a guy who had gone to numerous under-performing organizations and complete rebuilt their culture. He was familiar with doing far more than just standing on the sideline.
