Bill Parcells himself admits he became notorious for his franchise hopping, and "Hamlet-like resignations" from NFL teams..

But in his new biography, "Parcells: A Football Life," the former Dolphins executive admits an uncomfortable relationship with Dolphins owner Steve Ross contributed to his early resignation in Miami, ending his tenure as the Dolphins' vice president of football operations after two and a half years.

In the book written in third-person by Nunyo Demasio, Parcells, the NFL's most accomplished turnaround artist labeled his Dolphins tenure as one of his "rare failures" because he didn't elevate the franchise to new heights.

In a book obtainted by the SunSentinel, the biography to be released on Tuesday tells the inside story of Parcells' Hall of Fame career, from start to finish. In the Dolphins specific portions Parcells claims he joined the Dolphins because of his friendship and admiration for former team owner Wayne H. Huizenga.

Parcells also admits he never felt comfortable with "neophyte owner" Steve Ross, and was bothered when Ross never followed through on a contract extension Ross routinely mentioned to him.


"Ross told me on about four different occasions, 'Well, I want to sit down and talk to you about the future.' He never ever does do it," Parcells says in the book. "I'd been waiting for him and he doesn't do it. I'm not pushing him, but he never seems to have the time."

The book relives Parcells' decision to join the Dolphins' front office, even detailing how Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank was in his Saratoga Springs, N.Y. home negotiating the contract shortly before he secretly worked out a deal with Huizenga over the phone

Don't know why he is gone, but just glad he is.
 
No contract extension was given because Parcells sucked dick at his job. Glad that outdated tuna **** salad left.
 
"Steve Ross, and was bothered when Ross never followed through on a contract extension "

Thank You Mr. Stephen Ross, the best thing that you have done as the Dolphins Owner.
 
At least Ross has done something right.

But yet he still extended Ireland and Sparano who were doing equally bad jobs
 
Parcell s just unwittingly did Ross a solid there.

Parcells is a big fat *** and had no clue what he was doing down here. He also dissed Jason Taylor in the process. I still want to punch him in the face.
 
He didn't get an extension from Ross because Ross wasn't sure if he needed to include the man-boobs as a pair or individually in the contract.
 
I said this when he was here Bill Parcells is no finish carpenter, he can lay a good foundation to build on but the rest of the house needs built by someone else.
 
Parcells is a POS; Ever since he crapped the bed here he's been trying to revise history.

Before admitting it was his decision, he first tried to throw Ireland under the bus for the Pat White draft. His plan was to rebuild franchises and then hire himself out. It's perfect that the Fins were his last project and the majority of his unqualified key people including Ireland, Sparano, Pasqualoni, Henning ended up in lesser positions they better fit. This is just another example of his failure.

I don't remember if he was still here when Ross had to step in to stop Ireland from trading a 3rd I think for Orton and guaranteeing him a 2 year $8MM/yr salary. But if he was, that was enough incentive for Ross to sour on him and his credentials. The fact is that before he left, (or was kicked to the curb quietly), Parcells was largely removed from operations, spent his days golfing in Jupiter, was rarely at Davie HQs and never traveled to away games.

Essentially he was as useful as tits on a bull. He lucked into Pennington, got David Lee to run the Wildcat, thinking he could revolutionize the game (and we know how that worked out), and essentially built the coaching, front office and winning foundation that was smoke and mirrors. He's just continuing to slap lipstick on the pig that is his own legacy. **** him.

Ross is a self made billionaire empire maker.. I'm sure it didn't take long for him to figure out that Parcells was fools gold.
 
I agree with the sentiment that Bill was bull. He graded out Henne, Flacco, and Ryan the same, all I need to know about that clown. Parcells was all about slow, big, plodding football players in a league where vertical, speed, and efficiency are key. In other words, he set us back in a huge way. Screw him.

I guess then that deserves one :up: for Ross then.

As far as the Dolphins being one of the rare fails in his career...

1. With the Jets he was up and down, left them no better then when he went in.

2. With the Cowboys he was up and down, when he left them, they were no better then when he went in.


He did do a good Job with the Pats, but just for the record, the Giants under Perkins was already playoff ready with a defense that included one of the best LB ever.
 
Parcells hired the dumbest GM in the league. He hired the dumbest Head Coach in the league. And he drafted the dumbest QB in the league. Here's a big F U Mr. Parcells.
