Damn blaze looks like Mr. Blank must be taking your advice.
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank has put a full-court press on Bill Parcells to become the team's vice president of football operations, according to multiple sources.
Parcells could accept or reject the job as early as Wednesday, the sources said, and he is giving it serious consideration.
Parcells would not become Atlanta's new coach but sources say he would be authorized to hire the team's next coach, as well as re-organize the personnel department. He also could hire a new general manager if he and Blank agree that one is necessary.
Blank has informed general manager Rich McKay that McKay will not return in the same role, even though the owner wants McKay to remain as the team's president, sources said.
Blank's talks with Parcells evolved from an advisory role into a firm offer to rebuild his football operation, the sources said.
"I've got nothing to say," said Parcells before he hung up the phone Tuesday. Blank could not be reached for comment.
Parcells, an ESPN NFL analyst, also has had limited dialogue with the Miami Dolphins about a similar role but the talks with the Falcons have been more urgent, a league source said.
McKay is out as general manager, sources said, even if Parcells does not join the Falcons. However, Blank has asked McKay to remain as the team's president to oversee short-range and long-range stadium plans and continue as a valuable liaison with the league.
It is uncertain if McKay would accept a new role with the Falcons. He also is co-chairman of the league's competition committee.
If Parcells declines his offer, Blank still will hire a new general manager or he could give personnel control to the new head coach, sources said.
Blank has acted with urgency since Bobby Petrino resigned as coach on Dec. 12th. He spoke with Bill Cowher on Friday when the former Steelers coach told the owner that he had no plans to return to the sidelines in 2008, sources said.
The Falcons owner also consulted with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones concerning Parcells, who resigned in January after four years as the Dallas coach. Jones credited Parcells with the franchise's turnaround at a point the Cowboys had suffered through three consecutive 5-11 seasons.
There is added irony in that Jones was an unofficial emissary for the University of Arkansas, his alma mater, who first relayed to Blank the school's interest in Petrino.

interesting!
i heard Blank on "Mayhem in the AM" on 790 the zone this morning and he sounded pretty intent on turning things around. he promised to get things back in the right direction "quicker than you think". he is obviously upset about all this shit and is motivated to start making the best decisions for the falcons and the fans.
he sounded convincing and i've got to admit that i'm a little excited as to the possibilities at this moment. we are obviously at rock bottom now so we can only get better. talking with guys like Cower and Parcells shows that Blank is taking all of this serious and is motivated to get difference makers into the organization.

Yes I agree, I always thought Blank to be the kind of guy to do whatever it takes to get the job done. I guess your only as good as the people you surround yourself with. It's something to look forward to I do know that.BlazeTSU wrote:interesting!

Well so much for reeling in the big tuna to atlanta. Looks as though Parcells will be going to Miami. I think the same thing has happend to atlanta before with Parcells back in the 80's when Parcells was with the G-men.

Last I heard is that he said "he'll probably do it" in regard to the front office job Blank offered him. VP of Football Operations I think it was.Death2all wrote:Well so much for reeling in the big tuna to atlanta. Looks as though Parcells will be going to Miami.

I'd like Cowher to come and coach the Falcons, his attitude is the kind that we can use.
The front-runners are Cowher and Mike Singletary as of now.
Well from what I have read on the net and heard from the news Parcells will not be taking the job here in the A (much to my disappointment).samsara wrote:Last I heard is that he said "he'll probably do it" in regard to the front office job Blank offered him.

Yeah I heard about Singletary on the falcons forum but I thought that was just wishful thinking.

Looks like Vick may be back in time for the 09 season

I don't know that it means he will be a Falcon. I do know that the Falcons can't cut him from the roster till sometime in the spring I think.

Okay, way too much talk about sports on this METAL forum. I hate it when anyone's conversation anywhere drifts into sports. If you want to continue discussing guys in tight uniforms tackling each other, meet up on the sports forum page, wherever the hell that may be.
we smoked the teeth and hair of the wise man, that we might know as he does and share his sight

Stop being a fucking bitch, son, and realize different tastes branch over to different groups of people. I guess if you like metal, you can't like sports, huh?Snowblind Sodomy wrote:Okay, way too much talk about sports on this METAL forum.
