Philibin is the choice

I'm cool with all of that.....

 

As for Finley, yeah I like him, gonna take a BOAT load of cash to sign him......

I like this option instead, 2 years older than Finley at 26, and yes got suspended, but the guy plays the position very well.....60 catches for 800 yards in 12 games this year...think about that folks...

 

And my last thought before I go to work is....

If the man with the money (Ross) gets his way, as evident here by this coaching hire.....

then Roberto Wallace is giving up number 18 when Peyton gets here.....

/Bry wants to snuggle

 

Out of the not High Profile coaches this is the one I wanted. Maybe this O-line coach can fix our O-line problems and bring Flynn over to Miami.

 

He's been in the league for 4 yrs, and this year was the first time he played in every game.

 

and i was ecited about Kelly Ripa and Faith Ford leaving their husbands for lovable ole Me .

 

Assuming he brings in a similar offense to the one they run in GB I like it. Spreading things out and throwing it is generally how you score a lot of points in this league. But I'm not sure that should mean bringing Flynn along. I gave a kind of detailed analysis in another thread. But basically I see someone similar to Matt Moore. Decent athlete who can move a bit but won't scramble very effectively. Decent arm and mechanics. But not a very strong arm and not as accurate as Moore downfield. I'm not sure how good he is mentally. But physically he is sufficient, not great.

 

He was much worse this year for drops. Thrown at 91 times and dropped 12. Marshall was thrown at 138 times and dropped 14 in comparison.
In 2010, Finley was thrown at 25 times in a season interrupted by injury, and had no drops.
In 2009, he was thrown at 71 times and dropped 4. As a rookie in 2008, he also missed most of the season and was thrown at 12 times with 2 drops.

 

I think the meant he was being sarcastic.

 

At least you admit to being aware of your limitations. That's commendable.

 

Brent Celek?

 

If you're being serious please get the **** out and go root for another team.

 

Military guy here, little late on the news. I am happy with this choice, I think we got the best that was available

 

Not sure of serious, but he's talking about Fred Davis.

 

I don't know a ton about him, but I must say, him taking this job with what he has just gone through, and will continue to go through. Shows how much he really wanted a head coaching position. Hopefully he works his *** off and is the next great one.

 

They both had about 60 for 800, so I just guessed. Don't know which was suspended, and I guess that was a key clue.

As of today, both are 26 yrs old.

 

Where are you stationed?

 

out of the remaining candidates i thought he was probably the best, lets hope this is the guy that leads the dolphins to a much brighter future than the last decade.

 

Just wake up the offense. http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/a...ad-Coach/7d291a52-6046-4eb0-a1b2-443e94512915

 

Philbin seems like the most logical hire. I think this made more sense than hiring Fisher. We have no shot at Luck and I'm not enamored with RG3 to give up s boat load of picks. Flynn seems like the next best gamble after Luck. Time will only tell if Ross was able to capture lightening in a bottle.

 

Better hire congrats

 

LOL.

How many NFL wins did Shues have by age 50?

 

Well, this guy ran an offense that won the superbowl despite being one of, if not the worst rushing team in the league last year. At least we'll have a head coach who should understand the value of the QB, even if our GM doesn't.

As a fan, I'm going to give Philbin the same benefit I give every other Dolphins coach: Competent until proven otherwise. Welcome to Miami, Coach Philbin. Even though you weren't the sexiest (figuratively and literally) of hires, you'll have my support for now.

 

I see what you're saying, but I'm gonna go ahead and reserve my judgement till we see him in fishnets.

 

well on the bright side he has more time to coach its not like he needs to lose weight

 

I like the hire, will it work out? Who knows.

 

That's a terrible assumption, Yanker...........















........ that Wallace earns a roster spot.

 

AWESOME HIRE!!!

Flynn sure to follow.

 

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Miami-Dolphins-hire-Joe-Philbin-new-head-coach-012012

From a Foxsports article:

"Worked five years with Joe Philbin,'' former Packers executive Andrew Brandt tweeted. ''Calm, cerebral, humble and a skilled offensive mind. His style will resonate with players.''

Calm, cerebral...skilled offensive mind sounds like the anti-Sparano to me......

 

Thankfully our 2011 draft won't go for nothing since they should compliment the offense Philibin instills, and maybe he'll turn Jerry into a stud RT.

If we run a Packers'esque offense, we'll need an upgrade to our WR corps; trading back for Kendall Wright (Greg Jennings 2.0) wouldn't upset me.

At least we're not taking an offensive lineman with our 1st pick unless he absolutely represents BPA.

 

The personnel power and final say thing that was such an issue with Fisher is now resolved. Ross has it. He may have supposedly said to Fisher that he didn't want to be the tiebreaker in any disagreement between the head coach and the GM, but by imposing his choice of head coach on Ireland he has taken over ultimate control. I have to think that if Coach Philbin feels strongly about a free agent choice or draft pick, he's going to appeal to the boss, who in effect has bought into Philbin's vision and direction and not Ireland's.

This is going to be an extremely interesting offseason. I am excited now for this team. The balance of power has just shifted. Ireland had better figure out how to work with Coach Philbin.

 

How do we really know that Philibin wasn't Irelands choice as well? A lot of people are stating that Ross overruled Ireland as gospel, where do we get this from?

 

A much better hire than Mike McHenning.

 

You know that media rumors and speculation nearly always eventually become accepted for the truth.

 

I guess it's a combination of rumormongering by the press, believing what we want to believe and seeming common sense. I will be the first one to admit that I want to see Ross pull up his pants and drag this offense kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Obviously someone has to do it.

 

funnies

 

Yeah, but what good would that do us? Irish is allergic to athletic TEs.

 

Fred Davis yes Sir.

 

I think FY said the Colts would be on the hook for over $50 million with Manning and Luck.

Who wants RG3 to learn for 3 years behind Manning? I do.
