The Miami Dolphins' latest shake-up began before noon Monday when new boss Bill Parcells fired general manager Randy Mueller and two other members of the player personnel staff.

Parcells, a two-time Super Bowl champion coach who began work last week as executive vice president of football operations, dismissed Mueller, assistant director of player personnel Mike Baugh and college scouting coordinator Rick Thompson.

The departures came less than a year after owner Wayne Huizenga gave Mueller and coach Cam Cameron responsibility for rebuilding the Dolphins.

Jeff Ireland, vice president of college and pro scouting for the Dallas Cowboys, is the front-runner to replace Mueller and confirmed he is flying today to South Florida for an interview.

Cameron, who went 1-15 in his first year as an NFL head coach, said he will meeting with Parcells "in the next few days."

BILLS' LEVY RETIRES: Marv Levy, 82, resigned as Bills' general manager Monday -- 10 years to the day after he retired as the Bills coach.

VICK'S HOME FOR SALE: The white brick home and property that housed former NFL star Michael Vick's dogfighting operation has been listed for sale for $1.1 million. The 15-acre country estate is in rural southeastern Virginia.

BRIEFLY: Longtime offensive tackle Matt Lepsis of the Denver Broncos announced he is retiring.

* Tennessee quarterback Vince Young will be day-to-day this week after reinjuring his right quadriceps muscle.
