MIAMI (AP) – Bill Parcells and Jeff Ireland are still sitting side by side at practice assessing the Miami Dolphins’ roster.
Only now Ireland is the final judge.
Parcells attended practice Wednesday, one day after the Dolphins announced a change in hierarchy that left Ireland in control as general manager. Parcells remains as a daily consultant.
Safety Yeremiah Bell said the timing was odd, with the move being disclosed the week of the season opener at Buffalo, but coach Tony Sparano said he doesn’t consider the matter a distraction.
The Dolphins said the change was part of a long-range plan when the Parcells regime took over at the end of the 2007 season and hired Ireland shortly thereafter.
