According to reports from ESPN and now the AP, Bill Parcells is considering a position with the Atlanta Falcons which would basically give him the power to hire a new head coach for the Atlanta Falcons after Bobby Petrino walked out on the team last week. Parcells would likely be a fine candidate because of his experience and his network of resources is fairly widespread.
Interestingly, Parcells could, if he wanted, name himself the head coach. But given the nature of the team — its talent — it would be surprising if he did so. Besides, being let go by the Dallas Cowboys probably left a bitter taste in his mouth and, while coaching there, he didn’t appear to enjoy the work. At his age, rebuilding a team from scratch — which is about where the Falcons are at this point — may not be the best idea.
Team officials did not comment on the situation at this time.

Try Miami -
“The Miami Herald reports Bill Parcells and the Dolphins are “entering the final stages” of talks to make him a member of the organization’s front office.”
So much for him not coaching again
Why would a coach leave Dallas, a Super Bowl caliber team, and then come back to Maimi. He must like a challenge. I never liked him doing TV work anyway.
I can see him leaving Dallas; after all, Terrell Owens hated him and Jerry Jones will always side with the players before the coach.
But as far as him joining Miami, that is surprising.
