So where do you see ANY association with Bill Parcells? Also, did you know that his father is lifelong football coach?
I think you have Dimitroff confused with someone else.
Mecca IS right: Dimitroff is NOT a Parcells guy.

Atlanta comes from the Parcells tree through its strongest branch - the Belichick branch. Bill Belichick was Bill Parcells' greatest pupil who began to teach his master new tricks, especially about how to build and maintain franchises during the salary cap era. Atlanta GM Thomas Dimitroff ran Belichick's personnel department for 6 years prior to taking the GM job in Atlanta for the 2008 season.

Atlanta thought it had the Tuna signed, but Parcells wiggled free and headed for South Florida instead. Atlanta settled for a canny personnel man from the Parcells tree, Thomas Dimitroff, late of the Patriots' omniscient scouting department. Both men set about remaking their organizations to prize toughness, accountability, and smarts.

The issue with Dimitroff is that he's not a coach, not that he's not under the Parcells tree.
