There's buzz that COO Andrew Miller will be involved in the GM search, as will Brzezinski, who has been in the team's front office since 1999.

Any thoughts on if the Wilfs are consulting someone like Parcells again? I hope they broaden their horizons a bit…

Parcells has come out and basically stated firing Zim was a mistake, so...I'm guessing no.

In my defense, I hadn’t seen that “I’ll take the under” comment by Parcells on the Vikings finding success replacing Zim when I asked this question this morning  =)

I think the way Mark Wilf emphasized collaboration and communication in the press conference, the type of coach they are looking for might have changed. Also with some of the players comments, there might be additional considerations. The role or roles of the coach are different now because players are different now. They are definitely looking for someone who can express himself and be approachable. He also needs to be flexible in responding to individual players.

the emphasis on collaboration and communication sounds like a soul-sucking corporate buzzword for a committee approach.  Needless to say, I hope that isn't the case.

Its a three pronged approach,   maybe not like a trident,  more unified,   think of it as a triangle if you will,  a triangle of authority .

Don't be so crass,  they are just thinking outside the box to develop a new type of synergy.

Cross functional focus with emphasis on inclusive communicative pillars and process.

I think Parcells views Mike as his mini-me.

Yeah, but maybe more like "mini wannabe-me".  Zim is no Parcells, no matter how often he called him during the season.

Can we agree that it's a paradigm shift that will leverage our core values and historic strengths?

True, I think Parcells was one of the best ever.  I also think he had a better disposition for the job and was even more approachable.  Like what we were told about Zimmer...no one questioned Parcell's, but I bet he was open to veteran player feedback.  Like I have said numerous times some people can manage/Coach at any level they are just competent, and the pressure does not get to them like others.  Others, like Zimmer were promoted to above their abilities and the result is they isolate themselves from almost everyone for fear they will be found incompetent or not in over-their-head.
