The Big Tuna Returning to Football...And Not at SMU
Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 8:48 pmFormer NFL coach Bill Parcells, who rejected an offer Wednesday to become head of football operations with the Atlanta Falcons, is expected to join the Miami Dolphins’ front office, a source close to Parcells told Yahoo! Sports.
Parcells, working as a studio analyst this year after spending the previous four seasons as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, reportedly was on the verge of joining the Falcons. However, Atlanta owner Arthur Blank announced Wednesday afternoon that negotiations with Parcells had fallen through and that Parcells was considering an offer from the Dolphins.
Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga, who had contacted Parcells in recent weeks, made Parcells a more attractive offer to become Miami’s head of football operations, according to the source. A second source also indicated that the process is moving along.
