But on this day of change for the Dolphins, other sources within the organization have been willing to give a glance into what Parcells is likely to do.

And they say he is going to stay ...

... unless he gets a reason not to stay.

One source close to Parcells says the man charged and credited with turning the Dolphins around has a "a developing relationship" with new owner Ross. And that relationship needs to develop more.

While Parcells is acting like, and saying he is staying with the Dolphins, he wants to be certain that new ownership understands him. More importantly, he wants to make sure new ownership understands the NFL business is not like the commercial real estate development business in which Ross made his fortune.

Things happen overnight in the NFL. Unexpectedly. And Parcells wants to have the freedom and wherewithal to react to keep the Dolphins competitive. One example I was given was the acquisition of quarterback Chad Pennington late last preseason.

To make the move, the Dolphins had to come up with an unbudgetted $4 million to pay Pennington a bonus. Huizenga approved the check with little delay. Parcells wants to make certain Ross would understand the need to move quickly in such instances and be able to tap resources in a similar manner.

Parcells, I am told, wants to stay with the Dolphins and, indeed, is planning to do just that. That is one reason he is in Mobile to begin with

You poor, delusional soul.

The initial story is always going to be that he is going to stay when he intends to leave. Just ask Pats fans.

Parcells denied it up until the moment he walked out the door.

Here are the assurances Parcells needs:

More $$$$$$$$

and

Stroking of his deity like status

Parcells like being in the news too much to not at least play this hand a little bit.

30 day clock not started yet,,,sale isnt Official yet

Huizenga sells majority share of Dolphins

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Miami owner Wayne Huizenga has reportedly agreed to sell 95 percent of the AFC East champion Dolphins to Stephen Ross on Tuesday.

According to a report in the Miami Herald, Huizenga will be left with five percent of the team in a deal he says is worth $1.1 billion. Last year Ross coughed up $550 million for 49 percent of the franchise and Dolphin Stadium.

Huizenga, who has been the team's majority owner since 1994, allowed Ross to defer less than 1/3 of the payments to complete the transaction.

Once the sale is completed, Miami executive vice president Bill Parcells will have 30 days to decide if he wants to remain with the team or collect the $12 million remaining on his four-year, $16-million contract. Parcells has a stipulation in his contract that allows him to leave the team without forfeiting any salary if Huizenga were to sell the team. Although no official word has been issued, Huizenga has said he believes "The Big Tuna" will remain in South Beach.
