Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

Big Tuna in the Big Easy? Parcells as interim Saints coach would be intriguing
Posted by: Michael Rand under Professional football Updated: March 26, 2012 - 3:28 PM
*The two obviously have close ties, as Payton was a former assistant under Parcells in Dallas. This would give Payton a nod-nod, wink-wink way to still have some control over the team even while gone.
*While promoting a coordinator to interim coach would be fine, head coaches need to command a certain amount of respect. Parcells, without a doubt, would bring that. Whether he could keep his ego in check is a question, but still.
*Parcells seems to get the itch for a new project pretty quickly. This would be a great gig for him because it would have a defined end point one year out.
*It allowed us to write one of the first of many "Big Tuna/Big Easy" headlines.
