Big Tuna in Miami


So the Dolphins just landed Bill Parcells as their VP. Living in South Florida, I look at the hire this way: this couldn't possibly make the 1-13 Dolphins worse. In fact, Miami could have hired Kurt Warner's wife to manage the team and they'd improve. All I know is there is no way Parcells would have passed on a polished Brady Quinn in favor of an undersized Ted Ginn.


Having said that, do I really think Parcells is as good a hire as football "experts" are going to make it out to be? No. Just because you are successful coaching or playing a sport doesn't mean you're gonna be good at building a team. Jordan drafted Kwame Brown with the first overall pick, the 94-year old Marv Levy has built a Bills team that has won only 3 games (those 4 games they won against the Jets and Dolphins don't count), and Isiah Thomas has made the Knicks, per dollar, the worst franchise ever.


Honestly, I have no idea if Tuna will be good in his new role and only time will really tell. All I'm saying is Dolphins fans should not be pre-ordering their tickets to Superbowl 43.
