I think it would be a solid hire

Hope he isn’t too distracted about the stuff WRT his son. Maybe relocating would be best for him afterall. Also, didn’t Tony Dungy deal with his son committing suicide?

When my mom passed my dad and sister were a mess

and my other brother and sister were 5 & 3 at the time (I was 17, going on 18). I had no choice but to step up and keep the household above water. Sometimes you just do what you have to do in order to get through the day. Looking back at it, it is no wonder I failed College, with working 30+ hours a week, taking care of the house, watching kids and still finding time to party…….. I guess I could have done the responsible thing and study instead of partying. lol

They may have not wanted to approach philbin, thinking he was mourning

but it sounds like the best thing for him would be to relocate, and bury himself in his work, For all we know he may have reached out to us. Some people deal with grief in different way’s and his may be to take a challenge (and we are it !) and make something to honor his son. That kind of drive and effort on his part may be the “kick in the dorsal” ( as phinomenol put it , lol) that we need.

and let him know that we either were or were not interested. If we were in fact still interested I would have also stated that if at this point he was not in the frame of mind of making such a move that we understood, send our condolences and wished him all the best.

Drama? We got all the drama you need.

Bush, out to prove he can go a season without injury AND that this season stats were no fluke.

Marshall dealing with his condition, finding his long lost Beast Mode remote, and his built-in showdown with Revis.

Comic relief: Pee Wee Herman sack dance. (by playoffs, the whole stadium and teammates alike join in)

The fans, who were once flying planes calling for Ireland’s head, now chant his name by the movie’s end.

Pouncey, always the little brother of Maurkice, to an anguish level mentally to Mike, is now from under the shadow of his big brother.

(and, of course, the obligatory love story subplot. Satisfied by Kim coming back to Reggie before the big game and telling him she was wrong and she believes in him)

At the center of it all, Philbin, on the 50 yardline and a ghost figure of his son smiling back at him.

If football were fixed

Tim Tebow would be playing in the superbowl this year. Noone has been a bigger story, more polarizing figure or wider draw than he has, in my opinion. The only other "story"would be Harbaugh (the 49 ers version).

Going WWE style, the only way to end this would be a Super-Har-Bowl showoff or begin a game of one ups-manship. One brother making it, the other missing out and feeling driven to make it next year (losing out to us, of course).

by PhinNomenol! on Jan 17, 2012 7:08 PM EST via Android app up reply actions  

Tebow losing this year is just the beginning of the story. He’s going to take the next couple years to get better and better then win it all. He will be a story for years to come.

Really dislike the fact that he's getting a 2nd interview

He had a real opportunity to do some fun things with Tebow from a scheme perspective but ran some Pee Wee league level type of option offense with little to no counters. That could have been Fox putting the clamps down but it’s up to the OC to convince the coach.

Who really knows when someone is "NFL ready"?

Mike Tomlin served in the league only 5 years before becoming HC and he’s doing a very good job in Pitt. Jim Harbaugh never even coached in the NFL and he’s already winning with a 49ers team that did awful last year. Chudzinksi’s been in the league for about 8 years and still hasn’t been given the opportunity. He’s proven he’s a very good offensive coordinator with what he did in Miami (Hurricanes) in 2001 and Carolina in 2011. He needs his shot IMO…however, I do believe that Joe Philbin is more “NFL ready” to become a head coach.

fuck this, i want and we need a coach that has actual head coaching experience in the NFL and success being a head coach in the NFL

there a ton of them out there, i.e. Gruden, Cowher, Billick, Dungy, etc. Why r we going for these shit Coordinaters, that not only have zero head coaching experience, but haven’t even had that much success at their current jobs. This team needs a coach that demands respect from their players, and a big factor in that is previous success. But as my buddy pointed out the other day, a reason these big name coaches, i.e. Fisher, may not wanna come here is because of the circus Ross has created around this franchise. He has shown that he wants this franchise to be more entertainment than actual football. And his insistence on keeping Ireland the final decision maker, after he has proven to be incompetent, is more off-putting to candidates. Ross is making a mockery of a once proud franchise, and continues to bury it into the ground with each passing day. He continues to embarrass this franchise, starting with selling shares to celebrity owners, to the complete failure of courting Harbaugh, to this recent fiasco with Fisher (who i’m glad didn’t sign, but thats beside the point). He is pushing away fans, and is just a cancer for this franchise, and the NFL in general.

Relax my man

I’m going to give you one name – Mike McCarthy

Do you know what he did before getting the job in Green Bay and taking his team to the Superbowl and winning it?

He was the OC for the San Francisco 49ers in 2005. Do you know what his unit was ranked that year? Last, the worst offense in the NFL that year (granted there were alot of injuries and a rookie QB) but none the least they were last.

Jump forward to 2011. Do you know his HEAD coaching record since?
8 – 8
13 – 3
6 – 10
11 – 5
10 – 6
15 -1
So don’t but in too much that our new coach never held a head coaching job before, sometimes it can be a blessing in disguise ;)

Because there are plenty of coaches with experience, but...

…the front office, in order to protect Ireland (conjecture), will not hire ANYONE who might otherwise be a challenge to Ireland. This next coach and his tenure is all about Ireland. If Ireland doesn’t bring in enough talent to bring this team to the playoffs within 2 years, Ireland AND the new coach will be gone.

All those BIG NAME coaches are comfy no longer coaching.

With the exception of Fisher (who I don’t think was a big catch anyway). Harbaugh, we went after him but you have no idea what HE was looking for at that time. Give Ross credit for at least going after him.

As for the orange carpet, Ross is controlling what he understands AND can control: the atmosphere at the game. He can’t suit up and play, he can’t gameplan during the week, he can’t coach on Sunday. But he can make every effort to surround the game with the best atmosphere possible. And once we start winning and the stadium is full and suddenly everyone WANTS to come hours early for the atmosphere then party hard after a terrific home victory over a tough opponent, he will look like a genius. Lack of vision can kill a dream.

As for celebrity owners, please explain how that affects the offense, defense or special teams. Remember, as much as this is our game it’s also his business. Minority owners help him absorb losses and generate extra capitol. Capitol that can
1- be used to improve the stadium/atmosphere
2- pay a top tier coach
3- keep him from realizing as much loss in revenue so he can actually stick around for a while and not cut his losses and pass us off to another owner (who may not care as much, could move the team and may once again know nothing about football)

For me...

the way he worked with Tebow and created a scheme to for him and make it to the playoffs was impressive. Completely scrapped a scheme for a different universe of QB and gave the kid a chance to win, that kind of determination is admirable.

by PhinNomenol! on Jan 17, 2012 9:41 PM EST via Android app up reply actions  

That was NOT a good offensive scheme

Too much pocket passing along with a simplistic option game. The problem is that NFL coordinators are slow to adapt to these things when compared to college coaches. Teams figured out the best way to defend the option and were able to shut down Denver.

The reason Denver made the playoffs was because of a good defense and the fact that they HAD to run the ball with Tebow as QB. That OLine is a good run blocking one and that should have been recognized in the preseason. I really wasn’t impressed with much of anything McCoy did this year.

by evenflow58 on Jan 18, 2012 10:47 AM EST up reply actions  

You may not like the scheme

but by virtue of utilizing the strengths of the team and the QB, that created a good scheme. One that would not have worked with just any QB. Nor would Tebow have been as successful in any other scheme. A good scheme maximized your strengths and covers up/minimizes your weaknesses. Job accomplished!

by PhinNomenol! on Jan 18, 2012 12:15 PM EST via Android app up reply actions  

No, job not accomplished

That’s my point. It didn’t cover up Tebow’s weaknesses. It didn’t exacerbate them but they were still plainly there. Covering up his weaknesses would have involved increasing the option game. Add a jet sweep to the zone read to hold the LBs and safeties, have a TE pull across the formation on options looking for a shovel pass, fake the option and pass the ball. What was run in Denver did not help Tebow as much as it could.

Teams figured out how to stop the option and McCoy had no answers. He built an offensive scheme that was way to shallow to get the job done. If Denver doesn’t have that defense or teams didn’t inexplicably play a prevent defense at the start of every 4th quarter (this stopped after the Bears’ game) McCoy would look awful.

by evenflow58 on Jan 18, 2012 1:27 PM EST up reply actions  

No team figured out how to stop it

It was still just as effective as every going into the playoffs. He is inaccurate on long balls. So, with the option, if you stack the box, it gives him 1 on 1 matchups. He can have a little extra leeway at that point to heave it up and let his receiver do the work.

I also contend no OC who tried to force Tebow into a typical scheme would have had the team in the playoffs. People are so quick to criticize what would or e would not work in the NFL. But McCoy adapted his style and made it work. Yes, next year will be a new challenge, to evolve it so it didn’t get predictable. But in terms of a new scheme mid season, he did a heck of a job

by PhinNomenol! on Jan 18, 2012 2:14 PM EST via Android app up reply actions  

Um, no

Denver was in the bottom 3rd of teams as far as yards/play. Link. I agree that McCoy should get credit for running some option stuff but it isn’t that hard to add some counters. He never did. I think I saw a mid-line option against the Patriots but Tebow misread it and they didn’t try it again.

I don’t think they should have tried a typical scheme. I think they should have gone heavy on the option based football. They did, to a degree, but they never developed a full scheme. Just a half of one.

Denver score 20 points or more in 4 out of 13 games with Tebow as the starter. With Orton they scored 20 or more points in 4 out of 5 games. Yes, they won games but they won because of their defense and in spite of their offense.

I’d be more than happy to believe McCoy is a good offensive coach who will bring an exciting offense to the Dolphins, but I’m just not seeing it.

by evenflow58 on Jan 18, 2012 5:05 PM EST up reply actions  

For the record

I am not pulling for McCoy to be our next HC. I redirect what he did, but that’s not my first choice.

Having said that, the big reason Denver was not scoring over 20 points as often had more to do with running the ball much more, which in turn eats up more clock, yielding less possessions. Even if you don’t score, you keep your opponent off the field and give their QB less chances to be on the field to score. Yes, that put the onus on the defense, but is a sound tactic employed by many defensive minded teams.

by PhinNomenol! on Jan 18, 2012 6:36 PM EST via Android app up reply actions  

Which is to be expected

if you are running the ball 90% of the game, including your QB. Most running plays are only a few yards (2 to 6) while most pass plays are at least 5 to 10. So the more you run, the lower your yards per play average is going to be unless you are consistently busting 10 runs.

With that reasoning why would you hire a guy with a losing record 4 out of 5 years?

Which, by the way, was Bill Bellichick. Its because they’ve proven it time after time as a coordinator. Not these greenhorns that we are considering for the HC. A guy who was an OL coach/Offensive Coordinator who doesn’t call his team’s plays, a OC that his only claim to fame is that he designed an offense for the most limited starting QB in the league, and a guy who was a DB coach who had the same record in 3 games that his fired boss had in the last 6 games.

Listen, I wanted Tony Sparano gone. However, I’d take him back in a heartbeat with the level of candidates they are looking at for this job. These 3 guys are not 10’s competing for the beauty crown. They’re a bunch of 3’s at a freak ball that none of the pretty girls wanted to be near.

Our expectations have been lowered by a bungling Owner and (seemingly) unconfident GM, that want zero challenges to their authority, in a sport that is built upon challenges and being pushed to be the best.

I pray that we strike gold with one of these guys. Been a Dolphins fan for 43 years. However, I believe we are being sold a bill of goods that is going to explode in our face. Again, I PRAY that I can come back in two years an admit I was wrong. However, I believe in two years we will be going thru this again, looking for a GM and a Coach, which is what we should’ve been doing this time.

from working with him first hand, they knew something about him to indicate he would not be a good HC yet. Maybe he has skill but lacks leadership.

Has anyone even considered this guy?

Dirk Koetter, offensive coordinator, Jacksonville Jaguars: The offensive numbers the Jaguars have put up under Koetter are impressive considering he has been limited by a lack of big-play receivers and an average quarterback. Koetter didn’t have great success as a head coach at Arizona State, but I think he’s better suited to be an NFL head coach. In college, there are too many boosters to please and too much recruiting. Koetter is a football guy. In the NFL, he can be more of a coach. He wowed the Broncos brass with his interview this winter, but they opted instead for John Fox, who had more experience and had a defensive background. Koetter’s time is coming.

McCoy designed an offense that allowed a QB with a completion rate below 50% win games with regularity and advance to the second round of the playoffs. And he did it in the middle of the season.

Agreed!

If he’s such a non-event. Why is he on everyone’s radar? Would just like to keep Bowles if he loses out as HC. DC would work.

I hope so as well

But you can’t be mad if the guy lucks up into HC job elsewhere

You are correct there...but still not a impressive offense with regards to yardage & scoring

…but did well with limited resources….just sour because all my hopefuls have been axed!

I agree but Dolphins fans love to find the negative in everything so...............

Hey I have been a Phins fan, a Rangers fan and a Mavs fan for a long time. Two of the three eventually came around

after much longer dry spells and eventually so will my Phins. Keep the faith!
