> The Star Ledger reports the Giants have rebuffed an overture from
> Cowboys HC Bill Parcells about returning to the organization as
> general manager, according to a high-ranking NFL executive familiar
> with the team's thinking. Parcells had informed the Giants through an
> intermediary that he would be interested in returning to the
> organization to replace the retiring GM Ernie Accorsi, according to
> two NFL executives and a player. The sources requested anonymity
> because of the private nature of the search. The revelation came after
> the Giants were snubbed by Patriots vice president of player personnel
> Scott Pioli. As reported in yesterday's Star-Ledger, the Giants
> planned to interview Pioli and were granted permission from New
> England. But yesterday Pioli declined to be interviewed, saying in a
> statement he will remain with the Patriots "for personal reasons." He
> declined to be more specific. Parcells' status with Dallas is unclear
> after Saturday night's wild 21-20 loss to the Seahawks. The Cowboys,
> who were seen as Super Bowl contenders just a month ago, lost when QB
> Tony Romo fumbled the hold of a 19-yard field-goal attempt with 1:19
> remaining. Former Texans GM Charlie Casserly also interviewed with the
> Giants, but is considered a long shot. Inside the organization, the
> No. 1 option is director of player personnel Jerry Reese.
