    hmm....would LOVE Rex as a DC....idk about him being the head coach...though he is an upgrade over Philbin.

    Only thing I like here is... Ryan knows his weaknesses -- he doesnt know offense and never found a decent QB.

    I beleive he'd therefore be smart enough, and secure enough, to keep Lazor in place so Tannehill could grow.

    Still, if we make the playiffs and dont embarass ourselves in the playoffs, I'd retain Philbin.

    Rex as d coordinator would be heaven sent. Rex as head coach... he hired Sparano as offensive coordinator, 'nuff said.

    He's an excellent candidate for a basement dweller team. Kinda like Marty Schottenheimer used to be.

    He's great as a coordinator because the "loose cannon" approach fits well when it can infuse a defense with wild aggression without creating the character of the entire team.

    Yeah let's hire a guy who ruined the Jets, didn't find a QB, could not develop one, and has a 2-10 season going, and fire a HC who actually built the Dolphins and found and developed a QB. Brilliant!

    Despite their record, the Jets kicked Miami's *** for sixty minutes straight. Rex was the 11th coach to face Miami this season but the first to figure out how to shut our offense down completely, and he did it with inferior talent across the board. That should speak volumes in itself about his abilities as a DC.

    I wouldn't hire him as head coach, but I'd love to see him as a part of our organization.

    Rex Ryan has had a much more succesful head coaching resume than Philbin. That is fact. Youre a complete ignorant fool to think otherwise.

    No he has not been more successful. He did not build anything. He took over a 9-7, essentially a playoff team, and ruined it over the course of his tenure.

    Ive seen rex ryan go 8-8 with geno smith as his quarterback and two conference championship games with sanchez. Lets not be ignorant about his head coaching abilities. He needs to get a quarterback and an offensive coordinator, but he can win. Still I want him as our DC though some team out there will give him a shot to be head coach again.

    I would like to get Rex as a defensive coordinator. He seems to be a guy that his players love and his schemes, when he has the talent, are always pretty good.

    Rex Ryan is just a coach. He is not going to build anything worthwhile. I agree, let's not be ignorant about his coaching abilities, he is better than Mangini at HC, that's all that can be said about Rex Ryan.

    Don't worry about HC position for Miami, it's filled, and we have a good one.

    What has Philbin done again? Whats his playoff record? How many conference championship games did he take a team that was essentially 7-9/9-7 each season under Sparano? One season was even 10-6. Oh he didnt take them to the playoffs and has been on the same mediocre sub 500 path? Thanks

    I call BS. Philbin and Ryan are polar opposites and supposedly Philbin was Ross's guy. Doesn't pass the sniff test in my book.

    Rex Ryan will be a Head Coach somewhere but I don't think Ross is ready to give up on Philbin yet unless they have a total collapse for the rest of the season.

    How quickly people forget that he took a team QB'd by Mark Sanchez to consecutive AFC title games. I'd take him over Philbin if we collapse again this month. In a NY minute.

    Think. When was the last time the Dolphins went to the AFC championship game? We are in no position to turn our collective nose up at Rexie, foot fetish and all.

    I'd be thrilled with Rex Ryan as HC or DC. Rex Ryan didn't ruin the Jets. In fact, this is the same coach who went 8-8 with Geno Smith as his starting QB last season. Took Mark Sanchez to the AFC championship game twice, once as a rookie... As for their 2-10 record this season... What do you expect from that roster, that someone else put together for him? In fact, it's rumored he's not even allowed to start Michael Vick > Geno Smith because of higher up demands, at this point. Their big "FA" acquisitions were all crap, outside of Decker. Who has to deal with Geno Smith starting. Rex's big weakness is offensive knowledge. He's had crappy OC coordinators and mediocre talent on that side of the ball. He's also conservative on the side of the ball. Maybe that's because of personnel? Probably a factor.

    If a HC or DC change is made this off-season, I'd be thrilled with Rex.

    He found and developed a QB? Please... There is nothing about the development of Ryan Tannehill or our offense that has Philbin's fingerprints on it. Wasn't Philbin threatening to bench Tannehill at one point, out of the blue, for no reason? I guess leading the league in dropped passes (at that time) was Tannehill's fault?

    And have you seen GB's offense lately? Over the last few years? Why didn't ours look anything like that? Either this season or in the past? Because Philbin hasn't developed or created a system of his own. He was spell checking for McCarthy's power point slides. Our offenses was run by Sherman and Lazor, entirely. Their schemes, their plays, their everything.

    Philbin is NOT a great coach. He's never demonstrated the ability to anything "great." He's not completely bad either As of now, he's probably above average. We could lose Philbin and be just fine. And if we're not in the playoffs at the end of the year, losing Philbin would be preferable.

    Ross should make Rex the highest paid DC in the NFL. Let him take a few years off being a HC, hell allow him to learn offense from Lazor as an incentive. Make it clear you're helping him prepare to succeed at his next HC stop and want to rent his services for that.

    Now that we have top 5 defense, let's waste another 3 years building a 3-4. Brilliant!

    Ross's main job right now is to stfu, sit tight, and stop meddling in football matters.

    The goal is to keep improving, not to go back arsewards.

    One thing with Rex, when it comes to his colleagues, he is not an "ego" guy. He is far from what his father was. People love him, and he plays nicely with others. He is a respectful guy. For all the bluster, all the empty promises...he never once disrespected or patronized members of the media, like BB and Saban do on a regular basis. I did not like Cortland Finnegan either, before he got here. But what a player and teammate he has been. I LOVED to hate Rex Ryan as the Jets coach. It was one of the only memorable things from the Parcells/Sparano/Irish era. But him being here, would NOT be a bad thing by any means. And I just want to win...whether he pays guys to suck his wife's toes or not.

    He just better get a cover up on that tattoo of his.

    We already have the personnel to run a 3-4 so I'm not even sure where you're going with this. Coyle isn't a very good DC. His PPG numbers are low because we force our opponents to go on long drives against us. The problem is that we can't ever get off the field.

    To clarify, it wasnt his responsibility to find a qb, it was his responsibility to develop one. But you cant turn poop in to gold and im not sure Sanchez was ever that good a prospect and I know Geno Smith wasnt on my priority list ever.

    Im not sure Id want him as a HC at this stage (actually I know I wouldnt) but I sure as heck would take him over Coyle as a DC. Id consider a chimp over Coyle.

    One positive with Rex Ryan is he'd probably keep Bill Lazor, if Lazor wanted to stay. For those Lazor fans out there that would have to be attractive.

    I don't care what the stats say. My eyes tell me that this is not a top 5 defense. And a guy who can't make adjustments until halftime is suspect in my book.

    I suspect you're basing that impression on how NFL defenses used to play, rather than how they play currently, now that the NFL has tilted the rules toward the passing game. Today's "top five" defenses aren't nearly as impressive as the ones I suspect you're remembering from the past. "Top five" in today's NFL might've been middle of the pack 20 years ago. That said, the stats you're discounting indicate that those top five defenses are indeed helping their teams win much more than if they were playing much worse.

    I'm basing that impression on what the Broncos and the Jets did to our front seven -- run over them. These guys can't stop the run against good offensive fronts unless they put eight or nine in the box. Once they do that, there's a lot of real estate for receivers to get open.

    Pass defense is more important, however, and the Dolphins are among the best in the league in that area. On top of that, the run defense has allowed fewer than a hundred yards in half the games it's played this year, and fewer than 70 yards in five games. There are going to be games during a 16-game season in which effective units have uncharacteristically poor games.

    Only negative people are all for this idea. You guys expect us to bomb the rest of the season and be looking for new coaches. I've got news for you, it's not happening.

    He'll only be our DC if Coyle gets a HC job somewhere.
