I'd welcome McDaniels as OC of the Miami Dolphins

Not sure Brandon Marshall would be all that keen on that.  I'd have to think twice before doing that to him.

I could be wrong, but I thought McDaniels and Marshall got along,. Marshall wanted a change of scenery due to the way death of that Broncos player (can't remember his name) affected him. McDaniels was able to make a mediocre QB like Orton look good sometimes, so I'd love to see what he could do with Henne.

I may be wrong, but IIRC Marshall wanted a change of scenery due to the way McDaniels responded to that players death and his feeling that it was disrespectful.

I'm also pretty sure that Marshall was unhappy with the way that McDaniels ran Cutler (who was Marshall's good buddy; he still has a painting of their first TD, as I recall) out of town.

One of the guy's I know mentioned the Hillis trade was...Hillis plus 2 picks ( I looked up its a 6th in 11,and a conditional pick in 12) for Brady Quinn,then Drafted Tim Tebow...

Sorry off the top of my head I can't remember, didn't they trade up to get Tebow?

He is a good OC.  He is not the first nor the last good coordinator that was unable to make the transition from being effective at leading a unit of the team to leading an entire team.  

I don't think it's fair to condemn McDaniels on the basis of his Denver stint. He did a lot to put himself at a disadvantage; the Broncos had what almost has to be the least experienced coaching staff (I'm assuming he picked them himself). That posed a problem when they fired him and had to elevate someone to HC... Only a single guy had head coaching experience at ANY level (and he was a lowly assistant, so not an obvious choice). In the end, they had to go with a guy who doesn't even have coordinator experience...
