While NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is deciding on punishment for players and listening to appeals in the Saints' bounty case, he says he won't stand in the way if New Orleans asks Bill Parcells to take over as interim coach.

"That's their decision. They need to make those decisions and we'll move forward," Goodell said Monday at the opening of an NFL pop-up store featuring new team apparel. "Bill's a great coach, and I'm sure will add a lot of personality and intrigue. And he's as competitive as they get so I'm sure he'll do a good job."

Before the Saints pick someone to run the team this year, Goodell still has to rule on coach Sean Payton's appeal of his season-long suspension, along with the appeals of shorter suspensions to assistant coach Joe Vitt and general manager Mickey Loomis and penalties handed down to the team.

Goodell expects to hear the appeals this week, and hopes to making a ruling shortly thereafter.

I think you raise a great point. Spags seems to have motivational issues and Parcels is a master at getting the most out of players. It would do him good to learn from one of the best.
