As I said in the other post Im assuming that this means that it will be Mike Zimmer.

“Chudzinski wasn’t interviewed.

The Dolphins interviewed 5 candidates: Fisher who is the number 1 choice, Philibin who is now out of the question (and rightfully so, his matters make this coaching search trivial in comparison), Todd Bowles who is a long shot at best (and probably was only interviewed for the position as cruel as it is to fulfil the teams minority obligation). That leaves Dave Toub and Mike Zimmer of which I am suspecting Zimmer is the more highly valued of the two.

The team also requested an interview I believe with Dennis Allen as the Rams did but The Broncos won so both clubs had to scrap their interviews (at least temporarily). Im suspecting that if Fisher goes to St. Louis, Zimmer or Toub will be signed very soon after."

by texascowpunk on Jan 13, 2012 2:13 PM EST reply actions  

this is a fucking joke.

the only reason I’ve been keeping up with this is because I LOVE the Dolphins and the anticipation of finding a new coach was killing me.

I’ve been against going after guys with the “name” for a while. If I had my pick we would have gone after someone like Chudzinski (although I’m now against that because of what I’ve heard about him not being the most vocal leader).

Fisher I would have accepted because of how much “stability” he would have brought. But this whole delayed decision thing really screwed us over.

If anyone has a problem being “on time” it’s me. I’m always late. Sometimes it’s my fault, and sometimes it’s not. But when it’s not my fault, I don’t get the benefit of the doubt.

This seems like it’s going to be the case with the Dolphins. Ross and Co got screwed by Fisher and it’s not their fault. But due to their un-ending string of bad decisions (Harbaugh, Dez Bryant, Parcells, Pat White, Sparano, Henne, Colombo, etc.) it’s going to appear like another monumental fuckup for the Dolphins.

What a way to start the year.

I like the idea of Chudzinski but he isn’t supposed to the most vocal leader apprently. We need a coach with experience and passion to fire these boys up. Pretty much a Tony Sparano, but smart.

I agree with that, we definitely need a vocal leader. I so wanted Cowher

But perhaps if Chud or someone else gets the promotion to a HC position he’ll take it upon himself to be the leader, knowing he’s the top guy of the staff? Just saying, who knows.

ANYONE

Anyone else is now second best. After reflecting for the past 60 seconds since my last post, I’ve come to one conclusion:

THIS IS ROSS’S FAULT.

We should never have put ourselves in the position where Fisher could “choose” between us and the Rams. He should have simply been a candidate until WE made our choice. And if he wasn’t 100% committed to the job we should’ve taken him off the list.

but this is probably his best blunder so far.

In all honesty

I suspected this would happen. There were too many things, at least in my mind, that pointed to St. Louis over Miami. They have the #2 pick, have an established QB in place, and don’t have a GM at the helm currently. Not only that, but considering he’s a Midwest guy, with Midwest ties, as long as the team doesn’t move to LA, that would be his destination.

I’m pissed, don’t get me wrong, but part of me expected it to happen as such.

That said, we move on and get someone else. We’re not exactly talking about Vince Lombardi here.

IF Ross was going to fully back Ireland

Then he should have fully backed Ireland. He should have gone after a “hot up and comer”.

This is a backwards and idiotic move and I know that in a week or two we’ll have a nice press conference announcing a “hot up and comer” but the fact is he’s second fiddle to Fisher and the team knows that.

Look how we started this year with our “lame duck” coach. The players loved Sparano but they didn’t give him their 110% because they know the ownership wasn’t committed to him. The players are human and they know that whoever we bring in wasn’t our top choice.

The thing is, nothing has changed regarding that during this whole saga

I mean it was pretty clear from the beginning that Fisher wasn’t going to get total control in Miami, especially if that statement about Ross being committed to Ireland is true. So Fisher must have known this for a while now. Perhaps it was a leverage game along? Oh well bottom line, Fisher’s out and hopefully he’ll make a draft day trade with us.

no the hang up was fisher really wanted the colts job but they seem to be keeping their HC so he went with tthe next best thing for him and that was rams with all his connections.. an di am glad i didnt want him here anyway to start with..

common sence says if you put a stick in it and stirr if it stinks.. stop.. toss the stick and just walk away.

as my great grand pappy use to say: the only thing you should be insecure about is if your depends wont hold all of last nights dinner.

Stop Crying...Big Boys!!!

This is REALLY a good thing……this crap dragged on so long it made us simply want it more. Fisher is an Old school mind in a New school League. We need a conservative president ..NOT a conservative coach. There are way too many up and coming coaches that wnat to be here than to babysit someone who wants to control everything. Just like the Saban crap…..Fisher fits better in St Lou and Saban fits better at ANY college.
Kick off the pants and put on the Trojan and go coach shopping.

I'm sorry if saying this is wrong but

I really really hope the rams season goes down the drain

Not quite, simply because it seems he's not interested at all

From what I heard he doesn’t get along with Ross but I’d like to give him a shot

NO MORE BACKUPS!!

Ever notice

that when a negative event comes along in Dolphins land, all these strange usernames show up out of nowhere and begin to post?

Weird.

There are a lot of Dolphins fans nationally just because they don’t post in this blog doesn’t mean they aren’t hardcore Dolphins fans. Why not welcome a fellow fan instead of degrading them all the time. We have a very fickle fan base but there is good reason for that, I choose to support the team no matter what but I can see how some are frustrated with the organization.

Pathetic

Miami has turned into the laughing stock organization of the NFL, We are the new Raiders. Thank you Stephen Ross, Jeff Ireland and Bill Parcells. Enjoy another decade of losing, not spending another dime or minute of my time watching this joke of a team. Good luck to all of you fans because this organization doesnt deserve any, and they surely dont give a damn about any of you. Jeff Ireland really, thats who we want to stay loyal to, Jeff F****** Ireland, he would be fired at EVERY other NFL team by now except the worse run organization in the NFL.

Fuck Fisher's greedy ass...

He is coming to Miami next year so I will be smiling when we help his ass to another top 5 pick. I applaud Ross for sticking to his guns, and not giving in. Sounded like a spoiled brat. Now at least we know that this hold up was all about power. From everything I heard, Fisher was terrible with personnel, so we’ll see. I am confident they fill find someone young and hungry that will give this team their full attention and not worry about player moves. Phins till I die, and screw everyone that doesn’t want to be here. Onto the next one. Let’s go ladies and gentlemen. Let’s stand together and show the rest of the NFL that we won’t let one man’s decision derail our hopes of turning this thing around. Oh, and by the way, congrats to Fisher for taking over a team in the Easiest division in football. That spoke volumes about his character. I’d rather have someone that wants, and willingly accepts the challenge ahead!

So know we have to go to basically our bottom of the list coaches

Whom are mostly coordinators which will make it difficult for them to put together a coaching staff, and Miami continues to be the stage for coordinators who would like to attempt to be a head coach
