Title: Dolphins In-season Report
Post by StegRock on Sep 22nd, 2009, 6:36pm
Parcells to stay put for a while, it appears at the moment...  From "The REAL Feed":

Dolphins' owner: Parcells OK with glitz and celebrities (http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d812d651e&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true)
NFL.com (22.09.2009 17:53)
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross predicts Bill Parcells will beback next season. The franchise's moldy fight song is staying, too. But emptyseats are on the way out, Ross hopes.

This is obviously great news for the long term.  Put another way befitting of the Dolphins' current ownership motif, [smiley=note.gif] this is music to their ears. :D

I feared this as a DOLFAN. I feared the same thing about Trent Green a couple of years ago.

The "NEW CHAD" will finally get a shot to show what he can do. I can't wait to see us throw the ball more than 20-25 yds and get it deep to Teddy Ginn! All the other teams are starting their young QBs, why not us?

As for Pennington: Thanks for the wisdom and knowledge that you gave and will continue to give to Henne.
I can't wait to see what this kid can do. I hope he has low turnovers like Penny!
