Bill Parcells wants to come back for another season running the Miami Dolphins.

"My intention is to do what I've been doing," Parcells told the New York Daily News for Saturday's editions. "I think we will have ample time to figure each other out. I'm very optimistic."

Parcells helped rebuild the Dolphins from a one-win team to AFC East champions in only one season.

Parcells signed a four-year contract in December 2007, but a walkout clause allows him to leave the Dolphins with full pay — reportedly as much as $12 million — and be able to work for another NFL team if Wayne Huizenga was no longer the majority owner.

Manhattan real-estate developer Stephen Ross on Tuesday finalized his purchase of an additional 45 percent of the team and Dolphin Stadium, leaving Huizenga only 5 percent.

The Daily News reported Parcells met with Ross on Friday.

"I've had two or three meetings with Steve Ross and he seems to be a guy who wants to do things the right way," Parcells said. "There will be a period of adjustment. He's got to find out about the business. We are going to try and make things work. I'm not doing this forever."

Ross said on a Tuesday conference call with South Florida reporters he was 100 percent sure Parcells would return.
