All things regarding Dolphins coaching search

[CF DolFan]

Figured we should have one thread to discuss everything as this may go on for a while.

Mike Shanahan is scheduled to meet with the Miami Dolphins for a second time. Apparently he met December 22nd for his first interview. One interesting tidbit to this is that they have "leaked" the fact he wanted to draft Tannehill over RGIII. 


Other coaches being looked at are Dan Campbell, Adam Gase, Jim Mora Jr., Teryl Austin, Mike Smith, Doug Marrone Dirk Koetter. I for the life of me can't understand why Josh McDaniels is not on anyone's list for Miami unless he has said he won't work for a division rival.

[EDGECRUSHER]

Doug Marrone would bring Jim Schwartz with him, so..... sounds good to me. Problem is Marrone clashed with Buffalo management over drafting and power, so I don't know how he would do with Tannenbaum.

McDaniels had a bad first stint and coaches from the Belichick tree don't usually fare well, so that could be a reason.

[Run Ricky Run]

Id like chip Kelly or give Dan Campbell one year. I don't want Shula or hue Jackson.

[CF DolFan]

The list keeps growing and McDaniels is on the list. Miami requesting HC interviews with Pats OC Josh McDaniels, Pats DC Matt Patricia, Bills asst HC Anthony Lynn, per sources.

Matt Patricia would be a good hire .. he's got a rocking beard .. that  alone is good for a win or two

[Dave Gray]

I don't see how anyone can think about keeping Campbell if you don't have a GM.  Who wants to work for him?  And what coordinators would he get?

You need one "football guy" to be in charge.  Who is that guy?  Are you hiring that guy?  Are you getting a cook who also buys the groceries?

[EDGECRUSHER]

No more coordinators with no previous experience.

Not sure what you mean. We just promoted Chris Grier to General Manager.  He's been with the Dolphins for 15 years and has been their director of college scouting for the past eight seasons. He was with the Patriots for 5 years prior to that.

With that said ... I'd love to know who Campbell could get as coordinators. I'm sure that will be a topic of discussion but don;t know if we will ever hear about it.

But we do have a GM...

Just my meaningless 2 cents on whose names are being mentioned.

I do think it's interesting Chris Grier saying the dysfunction of the past 10 years is over..

-I've always hated Mike Shanahan,and I don't know but I just do.Knowing that he's been interviewed,and being interviewed again tomorrow,I'm somewhat torn and an intrigued (because of what he said about Tannehill)

- I can't see the Patriots giving us permission to their coaches.

-Dan Campbell - My biggest issue I have with him is....ummm...It didn't seem,or feel like to me,our opponent each week mattered,the game plan was the same.We're gonna try to be more physical,tougher,and run the ball.I'm not a fan of that message,and feel especially in today's' NFL (today's young players),that message wears thing really fast.I think that message sounds great during a press conference,but I feel those things tend to be triats,you are or you aren't (for the Most Part!)

They mentioned during the broadcast Campbell said that motivating his coaching staff,and coaches was hard draining (something like that).I feel that is part of the problem with that message. I don't want him as out permanent coach.

For me it's about the traits that the coach preaches,I'd like to hear out next coach preach things like.
-Intelligence
-Understanding/taking advantage/creating match ups
-playing smart,while playing fast
-and unity as a team.

I don't have a clue who I want,more of who I don't want.

Pretty sure that sounds an awful lot like Joe Philbin. I'm not big into what they preach, I'm into results. Are they able to get guys to perform, yes or no. I don't care what you preach, it's more about what you're able to instill. Philbin talked a great game in my opinion, the problem is that it was just talk and it never really materialized on the field.

Unless there was a change to the rules, a team cannot stop a coach from interviewing for what would equate to a promotion on another team.

That's a rule? I always thought that it was an unspoken rule that if a coordinator has a chance to become a head coach, the team let's him interview out of courtesy. I didn't know they had to.

Nothing unspoken about it...that rule is written in ink.

[DaLittle B]

Ok let me rephrase that,I don't see the Patriots Coordinators agreeing to the interview with the Dolphins. ( @AdamSchefter: AFC East looks: Miami requesting HC interviews with Pats OC Josh McDaniels, Pats DC Matt Patricia, Bills asst HC Anthony Lynn, per sources. When I see tweets like this makes me think some is going to deny us  )

Yeah it probably does sound like what Philbin wanted,but he failed for a litany of reasons.

I feel results vary too much based upon factors you can't always control.You have to have a plan,and know the process to best execute that plan.

I also feel Mike Tannenbaum' vision/plan is run the ball and play good defense coach,and I think a lot of names being thrown out there more for show.
