Not wasting any time with the overhaul.![]()
Tuna's making room for Jason Garrett.
I'd say Mike Zimmer time, except Parcells will probably try and force the 3-4 again and Zimmer does not do well with the 3-4.
Parcells was pushing for Zimmer to get a HC gig when they left Dallas...
Bout damn time!!Lets get a coaching staff who knows how to coach and get ready for 2008-2009 NFL season...Oh ya, try and find some desperate team who really wants the #1 pick and lets bring a couple of quality players and future draft picks instead of gambling on just 1 player with this pick
Martyball for 2-3 seasons of rebuild?
Does this mean Cameron returns to O coor for Colts?
What a total piece of crap. They guy did not even have a chance. The Dolphins had zero talent available compared to the rest of the league. You give him 1 year to fix this team???![]()
I don't agree with this. The guy's a proven winner and stuck in a really bad situation. He should have at least had an opportunity to right the ship. I wonder how much of a difference in style had to do with this or if Bill just simply axed him for the sake of doing it.
I agree. It's BS like this that makes the harsh criticism of Petrino such hypocrisy. There is no loyalty in this business (or pretty much any business), you have to watch out for yourself first and foremost.
In regards to the vacancy, if Parcells is picking I have one name for you - Maurice Carthon. He's much more viable to be a Parcells puppet than anyone else. Garrett's too strong willed and will want to run things his way, and Parcells knows that's the case.
The Ticket is suggesting that maybe Tony Sparano is the guy Parcells wants. He's another "Parcells Guy" who would just be a puppet.
Uhh, doesn't he have a 19-52 combined carreer record as a head coach?
That's not exactly the record of a "proven winner". He a proven successful coordinator, nothing else. Not that he shouldn't have been given another year or two, but that wasn't going to happen with Parcells in charge.
That's another viable option I hadn't thought about. I'd guess one of those two.
I think if there is a real chance Garrett would leave, I see JJ opening the wallet big time to keep him.
I really dont care who becomes coach cause as mentioned before parcells will really be the one pulling he strings...Draft OL and find some quality FA secondary players who are decent so the defensive front (who should be the strentgh of this team) can gamble and blitz more often for pressure purposes...I wanna see a team that runs the ball 60-70% of the time (Brown and williams) and plays ball control on offense. Am I asking to much?
You might be with the the blitzing more often. Parcells probably won't want there to be gambling on defense unless he's sure of the secondary. You'll probably see a lot of 4 man rushes...
Of course, if Parcells did hire someone like Garret, it would so he was backing off and letting the coaches have his say. If he hires someone like Carthon or Sparano, you'll see a running/ball control offense, at least initially. Parcells likes to pass, but only when he has a QB he trusts to take care of the ball and make some plays.
Tuna will want everything played safe until he gets the pieces he wants in place (a 2-3 year process), and by then he'll be leaving///
same here. I don't see Jerry letting Garrett leave at all. If they don't win the SB and Garrett plans on bolting, I fully expect Wade to be fired and Garrett gets the job.
I think it is humorous that everyone thinks Garrett is the next coming of Don Shula.
I am completely shocked at this personnel move by the Dolphins. I didn't see it coming AT ALL.
Cowboys can't afford to lose him.
Tony Soprano is nobody's puppet. Get that straight.
I wonder if Tuna hires him, does he have to hire Paulie Walnuts as DC?
Has anybody heard of #1 pick trade rumors other than possibly for anderson (clev qb)?? I recently saw an article that phins may try and go after johnson (wr) of cinci this off season as well..I can only dream of an offense of anderson, brown, williams, and johnson...
Only linebackers coach George Edwards and assistant special teams coach Steve Hoffman were retained.
That indicates that defensive coordinator Dom Capers, who signed a lucrative extension last year, is out, as is secondary coach Mel Phillips, who has been with the team for the past 23 years. Respected offensive line guru Hudson Houck, who was hoping to end his career with one final season with the Dolphins, will most likely retire.
Tight ends coach Mike Mularkey, who was the Dolphins offensive coordinator last season, is out, as is special teams coach Keith Armstrong, whose coverage units were rated the last in the NFL this season. Running backs coach Bobby Jackson, who was talked out of retirement by Cameron, will most likely return to his farm in central Alabama.
Also looking for work will be wide receivers coach Terry Robiskie, assistant offensive line coach Tim Davis, defensive secondary assistant Michael Dumas, who was arrested Christmas night for his role in a domestic dispute, defensive line coach Travis Jones, offensive quality control coach Marvin Marshall, safeties coach Brett Maxie, assistant linebacker coach Glenn Pires, defensive line coach Diron Reynolds, quarterbacks coach Terry Shea and defensive quality control coach Chad Walker.[QUOTE]
