Teams that have big turnarounds in the NFL often slip back - he leaves, Dolphins slip next season, he looks even better. What I heard is that it's not just that he becomes a free agent when the team is sold, he can walk away receiving all the money for the full length of his contract.
i guess it will depend on how much he likes being in Miami and the new owner. On the plus side for Dolphin fans is that the franchises who would need Parcells most are in downtrodden cities like Buffalo and Cleveland or teams like Dallas and the Jets he's already been at and left.

It actually would have been a 5-11 or 6-10 season for the Fins this year, if Pennington hadn't fallen into our laps. That more than anything is the reason for the quick turnaround.
At the most important position in football we went from having nobody to having a top 10 guy. That's got to account for half of our win total right there.
I don't think Parcells is going anywhere, this is the type of job he's always wanted (remember he wanted to be G.M. of the Giants...but nobody would hire him without him taking on head coaching responsibilities too)
Now he gets to pick out the groceries without having to do the tedious day to day shit
GM's have to do.
