Hello, Mike Brown (knocks on his head) anybody home!?!

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Bill Parcells will not be joining the Atlanta Falcons as head of football operations.

Parcells turned down the position, Falcons owner Arthur Blank said Wednesday in a statement. Blank said the team had an agreement in principle with Parcells, but after he told the Falcons he was considering an offer from the Miami Dolphins, negotiations fell through.

"We gave it our best shot, and it didn't work out. We will continue down the same overall path, proceeding with plans to hire a general manager and a head coach. We will identify and consider every strongly viable candidate for these positions, with the goal of hiring the best," Blank said, according to a statement released by the Falcons.

Parcells was considering an offer to join the team's front office as vice president of football operations, a role that would put him in charge of finding the next coach for a team rocked by the suspension and imprisonment of Michael Vick and the sudden resignation of Bobby Petrino.

According to the statement, Rich McKay will remain president of the club and will retain general manager responsibilities until a new GM is hired.

Blank's statement:

We remain committed to looking at every option for building a championship-caliber team for our fans. I have stated we will leave no stone unturned in doing so, and this effort is one example of that. We gave it our best shot, and it didn’t work out.

We will continue down the same overall path, proceeding with plans to hire a general manager and a head coach. We will identify and consider every strongly viable candidate for these positions, with the goal of hiring the best.

Think you'll ever hear Mike, Troy or Katie say something like that?

Nope.

Tuna does not want 'thugs or hoodlums' on his Dolphins team

The way I see it is Bill is going to wear out his arm handing out pink slips this off season. :lmao:

Yep, Marvin better watch his back as he walks to the locker room after this game. Parcells will jump him and wrestle the detonator out of his hands.
