Report: Parcells headed to Atlanta
New York, NY - Bill Parcells is reportedly ready to take a job in the Atlanta Falcons front office.
According to the New York Daily News, Parcells is on the verge of accepting a job to run the Falcons' football operations with only a few minor details to be worked out. A deal could be finalized with Falcons owner Arthur Blank as early as Wednesday.
"I think I probably will do it," Parcells told the newspaper by phone from his home. "The job description is to be the football operations overseer. We still have a little work to do, but I don't think it's anything major. I don't expect any real deal-breaker. I don't think there will be any major hangups."
Parcells did say he definitely would not be the Falcons' head coach and plans to hire a general manager and then work with that GM to hire a new coach to replace Bobby Petrino, who quit to coach Arkansas just 13 games into his first NFL season.
"I'm going to oversee the football operation," Parcells said. "I'm going to hire a general manager if the deal is finalized in Atlanta. We are going to hire a coach and talk to all the coaches who are there. It's going to be a collective effort. The triangle is going to be the GM, the coach and Bill Parcells.
"Under no circumstances is Bill Parcells ever going to return to the field."
na, dann sag ich doch schon mal welcome back!
