Bill Parcells to the Saints rumors and talks have been spreading for days now. Will he, won't he, should he etc... Sean Payton is suspended from the team for this season, and his mentor Parcells The Big Tuna as they call him is his so call chosen fill in for this season. What are the pros and cons of this move not just for the Saints, but for Parcells and Payton?
Pros: Parcells gives you experience and leadership to keep the ship sailing in the right direction. The Saints are a good team, and even though I think they will be okay with out Payton for a year bringing in Parcells might be the Saints trying to buy a little insurance on this season. Facing the media, Parcells is not known for being media friendly in fact Parcells is the kinda of guy the Saints want facing the press instead of an assistant coach. If they win this season with Parcells and make a good run then it would enhance Parcells legacy.
Cons: Parcells legacy could take a hit though if it doesn't work out, and would start his hall of fame clock of five years back over. I think this team could run it's self for a year with out Payton, but Parcells like to have control. What if the player don't give him that control because he's just a substitute teacher? The two could mix like oil and water causing what could have been a manageable season turn into disaster.
If Parcells is asked by Payton and excepts the job then I think you will see a whole lot more of the cons then pros. The assistant coaching staff which has head coaching experience could hold things together for this season with out Parcells. I think it would be a bad move on all parts if the Big Tuna takes control of the Big Easy.
