    Per Alex Marvez' twitter.

    I wouldn't be too upset if he left, considering how awful out LB play his been.

    I think he was part of the problem, but the talent procured by the nameless one was just God awful too.

    I actually think Ellerbe can be a quality starter. Wheeler I am not as hopeful.

    I think for the most part it's hard for fans to have the background to say that a positional coach is doing a bad job. If there's a string of bad technique or blown assignment that's one thing, but just some bad play for a year I'm not sure of.

    I don't think that he was part of the solution. How many LBs came to Miami and got better? Most got worse.

    Ya I dont know how long he's been here, but look at Dansby playing at a ProBowl level after he left us.

    Apparently this guy has ties with Zimmer going way back...It would tend to make sense that he was brought in as someone who gets along with Zimmer, and will largely let Zimmer manage the D in most aspects. Not necessarily being brought in for his personal performance as a past DC or LB coach.

    Mike Singletary is available. Minnesota LB play was pretty good no?

    They should get Zach Thomas in to tell these LBs how to play in a 4-3.

    Dansby and Edwards only worked together in 2012, so I don't think there's a connection there.

    Edwards was in Miami under Saban, and IMO, he's a decent coach. D-Pate is correct that position coaches are tough to evaluate. Remember, under Saban, we had DE's making the transition to 3-4 OLB's, and I think they did pretty well with that transition. My memory could be faulty, though...
