CARL PETERSON HEADED TO MIAMI?
Posted by Josh Alper on January 4, 2009, 10:28 a.m.

It’s unclear if Bill Parcells will exercise the escape clause in his contract with the Dolphins, but Carl Peterson may have something to do with his decision. The former Chiefs G.M. is close to new Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and, according to Adam Schefter, people around the league are convinced that Peterson is headed to Miami “sooner rather than later.”

Ross owned the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL and Peterson was their general manager. Peterson’s teams compiled a 48-13-1 record and he won two USFL Executive of the Year awards.

That makes Peterson the likely successor if Parcells decides to leave. It could also increase the likelihood that the Tuna takes his money and runs. If Parcells stays, Ross could hire Peterson in another capacity and create a situation where Parcells has less decision-making power.

I feel for the Miami fans if this is true...

But nothing would be more comical than if Carl Hired Herm as Coach...

There is a lot to the business side. Stadium issues, premium seating, sponsorship/signage, other special events at the stadium, business office, broadcasting contracts, public relations, community relations/player programs.

The biggest of all is that your premise is WRONG. Not all NFL teams sellout. The Dolphins didn't sellout all their games this year. The Dolphins have not soldout playoff games in the past. Five or six teams this season had blackouts. The Chiefs only avoided blackouts because KCTV 5 and a few sponsors bought extra tickets so the games would be televised.

I'm hoping Carl ends up at either in Denver, San Diego, or Oakland. Take your pick.

Maybe if Carl goes to Miami, he'll want Herm and give us a 4th for him...

I saw this on the ticker earlier. Parcells isn't leaving.

HUIZENGA SAYS TUNA IS STAYING
Posted by Mike Florio on January 4, 2009, 5:30 p.m. EST
Amid rampant speculation that, once Stephen Ross acquires controlling interest in the Miami Dolphins, V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells will exercise an option to receive the balance of his four-year contract and walk away with no strings attached, current owner Wayne Huizenga says that Parcells isn’t leaving.

“Bill’s going to stay,” Huizenga said, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “He told me [Friday] he’s going to stay. He said he likes it here.”

With all due respect, what Parcells tells Huizenga is far less legally binding than the terms of his contract. At a bare minimum, Parcells will parlay the current situation into a better contract with Ross.

Otherwise, Parcells wouldn’t have leaked to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen last week the details of the Tuna’s “take the money and walk briskly” arrangement.

Meanwhile, a league source tells us that former Chiefs G.M. Carl Peterson attended Sunday’s playoff game, and that Peterson was “loving up to Ross” before the opening kickoff.

Earlier on Sunday, Adam Schefter of NFL Network reported that multiple league insiders are convinced that Peterson will join the Dolphins after Ross assumes control of the team.

And, if Peterson is going to be there, it really doesn’t make sense for Parcells to stick around.

Unless Peterson is going to be picking up the Tuna’s dry cleaning. Or giving Parcells lessons in how to spend 20 years with the same team and never go to the Super Bowl.
