Childress to interview for OC gig

[Landshark]

The question is, do we have the personnel to run the West Coast offense?

[Fau Teixeira]

there's only 1 personnel that matters to run that offense .. and we don't have a QB right now that can

[Pappy13]

Maybe they do or at least maybe they think they can find enough players in the draft and free agency to implement it.

I'm not buying into this whole concept that the potential lockout means you can't make big changes in the off-season either.  If there is a shortened practice period before the season, then EVERYONE is going to be effected, not just teams that are making changes.  Offenses and defenses are going to be behind what they normally would be.  So while you may not have had a lot of time to practice a new offense, your opponent won't have had a lot of time to prepare for it either.  There might only be 1 or 2 preason games, they won't have much game tape on you either.

Besides, lets face it, the preseason is too long as it is now.  Teams really don't need 4 or 5 weeks of preseason games to get an offense ready, they really only need 1 or 2, provided they play the 1st string the whole game.  If you are willing to do that, then you can get prepared in half the time.

I remember about half way through the season when they were saying that there wasn't gonna be much head coaching turnover this year because of the potential lockout, well that prediction didn't turn out too well.  I don't think teams are really approaching this off-season any different then they have in the past.

You don't remember this debacle with Cameron kicking Keith Traylor off of the team, the players nearly committing open mutiny (Joey Porter called Cameron a gutless coward in front of the whole team, and the players applauded), and Cameron sheepishly asking Traylor to come back, only to have him refuse?

Now that you mention it yes...but in all honesty I try to block out and forget as much about that season as I can. It was the worst year of football for me a lifelong Dolphins fan. On the same note I think it was more of a local story then a National one. I mean I only read about it on here not like the shit that was all over ESPN about Chilly.....well at least that I can remember or care to anyways!!!!!

Isn't Tavaras Jackson a free agent?!

[EKnight]

I hope that's a joke. -EK

[BigDaddyFin]

Forget it.  He's the last person I want running the offense.  Keep the not West Coast offense in the dustbin where that horseshit belongs.

There were some reports that the ONLY reason Childress took the interview for the OC job is because he wanted to meet with Stephen Ross. Knowing Ross isn't happy with Sparano might be looking for a head caoch in the near future.

Childress isn't interested in the OC job in Miami unless he thinks there is a chance to move up the ladder. And he wanted to feel out Ross and meet with him.

Do you have a link for this or is this another of the MikeO repeating a theory he heard on talk radio?

here you go again, looking to pick a fight over nonsesne!! Acting like a 4 year old again.

This isn't "MEET THE PRESS" or a court of law....its a football message board. For your enjoyment just put me on IGNORE and don't read anything I write. Otherwise just chill out and enjoy the football message board for what it is!  I'm telling you what I heard. It was Omar Kelly or Jeff Darlington, one of those on the radio with the report. Sorry I didn't take the exact time, day, and word for word documentation of the conversation

^^^ so random shit mikeo made up.  Just what i thought.

I myself would like to see Miami go to a run&shoot/spread type offense with plenty O' no huddle thrown in. Although we would have to get a QB to run it !!!

Modern offense has plenty of roots in the run and shoot.  Option routes, designed rollouts.  Anytime you see a double slot or 4 WR formation,  or that stupid hitch pass, that's straight from the run and shoot.  You'll never see them run it as a whole offense because unless you're Barry Sanders, you won't run the ball with it for very long.  It also tends to wear out a defense.  Specifically your own if you can't keep scoring with it.

Well not specifically the run and shoot. The run and shoot and spread offense, while they share a lot, are actually 2 different schemes. So when I said that I kind of meant a full time spread offense with a few run and shoot twists. Kind of like a hybrid of the two. Rather get back to primary passing offense.

just the mere entertainment of chilly as oc, screams henne won't be anywhere near the starting qb for the dolphins next year.

west coast offense is basically anti-henne. requires a qb that can make quick decisions, is mobile, is accurate, basically all the qualities henne stinks at.
