In what has to be the most bizarre of bizarre seasons in NFL history, there’s more big news coming out of Atlanta tonight. ESPN is reporting that Arthur Blank has offered Bill Parcells the role of Vice President of Football Operations.
Whether Parcells takes the job or not, Rich McKay will not return as General Manager, although he may stay on as team president. Clearly if Big Tuna is in the mix, McKay’s influence over the team would be drastically reduced - which is an understatement.
If I’m Parcells I say thanks but no thanks. This is a franchise that will need to build from the ground up, starting with a new QB to lead the team and is years away from being a contender.
But after their franchise player ended up in jail and their coach packed up and left after thirteen games, nothing will surprise me with this year’s Falcons.

Very interesting stuff Dan. Thanks for posting. With Parcells and Cowher out there, there are some very nice potential head coaches!

Not going to happen he told the team he was considering the offer from the dolphins and the deal with the falcons fell through.
