Bill Parcells is staying with the Miami Dolphins, owner Wayne Huizenga said.
After the team’s playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Huizenga said Parcells has decided to remain for another season.
Parcells’ contract allows him to leave and still receive the $9 million to $12 million remaining on his four-year contract if the franchise is sold. That sale is expected to be completed soon.
But Huizenga said Parcells told him Friday he plans to remain as executive vice president of football operations.
“I talked to Bill the other day,” Huizenga said. “He said, ‘Hey, I like it here.’ “

> RAIDERS: Majority owner Al Davis had a 90-minute phone conversation with New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride about the Oakland’s coaching vacancy.
> COWHER: Bill Cowher doesn’t plan to coach in the NFL next year and will stay with CBS Sports as a studio analyst. Cowher said during “The NFL Today” on Sunday that he’s taking it “year to year.” The Super-Bowl winning coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006, Cowher took himself out of the running as a candidate for the Jets job on Dec. 30. He also was a candidate for the vacant Cleveland job.
