AP source: Dolphins owner mulling possible shakeup (Thursday)

Title is wrong, should have said decision could come Thursday.

I had to look away on multiple occasions. No fan should have had to endure the 2 weeks of **** that we did.

I feel that if they hire a GM and keep Philbin, that is dictating to the GM who to work with philosophically and by extension what type of players to draft/FA. Then the GM will get rid of the coach after a year of butting heads.... It's a vicious cycle. Perhaps they decide to hire another football czar recommending the firing of GM and OC, and with the authority of cleaning house. That keeps Ross' hands clean from delivering the axe to Philbin and coaches he likes.

Looks like Sherman and Ireland are going to get the axe.

I would find it difficult to believe an OC would transfer to another team (better teams) in the same capacity. Miami is in the position to either:

A) Fire Sherman and bring in a possible young guy in a bad situation with upside
B) Fire Sherman and bring in a former HC that has recently been fired or a college HC trying to get his feet wet -or-
C) Retain Sherman and rid of some underlings

I would choose B. I think Kubiak is an obvious choice, but that is just me. Maybe there are some young guys out there who have good potential, but there is a risk, as with everything. Kubiak has coached dynamic offenses in the past, and has coached some good teams.

Kubiak isn't coming here with a lame duck Philbin.

Private sources and could in the same sentence. Sounds pretty substantial.

What else do you want them to say?

If he wants work, he will. The social dynamic will just have to work itself out. I could see him becoming OC somewhere else, but I think he would be a solid fit here. That is just me, though. I am sure some folks here know some young bucs out there, but I do not. At least Kubiak has a line of work that shows he can coach in the NFL at a high level.

I like the big names like Kubiak and I would especially love it if Mike Shanahan took on the role of offensive coordinator..Or maybe his son? That would be pretty cool with. Kubiak has a good track record as does Shanahan...I doubt Mike would be up for the job but his son would be great option in my opinion. Shanahan(s) have always been able to run the ball, and they have always had potent offenses. What happened in Washington was a disaster this year but they were still able to get a lot of out Alfred Morris and Pierre Garcon on offense. If we had the production of an Alfred Morris and Pierre Garcon we would be looking at a bye week in my opinion.

How about an experienced QB coach to help Tannehill with pocket awareness and deep throws. That's not a knock on Ryan we just need better coaching for the young QB.
Sherman gone of course. The play calling was pitiful.

Dolphins owner mulling possible shakeup

Great news! lol

The only thing that will make Wild Card weekend bearable for me is action by Ross. I love the playoffs, who doesn't but damn, knocked out by the Jets? Could of been in the week before by beating the Bills?

I don't want any offensive coordinators from teams with elite quarterbacks. I want someone who takes average talent and makes it perform at an above average level.

Ireland has to go. If we get the right GM running the show it will all fall in to place. It might mean that Philbin is gone or has one year to prove himself to a new GM but if Ireland stays its over and we are going to be a bottom feeder for another few years.

if you wont clean house and bring in malzahn, then go after kyle shanahan as o-coordinator. fire the rest of the sherman clan too.

Good point.... Though Josh Mcdaniels did have Kyle Orton in Denver leading a top passing attack with Brandon Lloyd lighting it up. Chudzinski comes to mind, Caldwell, baby Gruden,Wisenhunt.....Does Carmichael call the plays ? He's another Philbin.

Mike Shula with Chud as OC? *ducks*

Never say never with Mike...he was our QB coach with Jay from 2000-2002.

Second-year offensive coordinator Mike Sherman is considered the most likely to be fired, and sixth-year general manager Jeff Ireland's job is also in serious jeopardy
Sherman's unit ranked 27th in the NFL in yards, allowed a franchise-record 58 sacks and scored once in its final 24 possessions.

It wouldn't be my first choice but I would actually be fine with Mike as HC. I think he was in over his head as a 38-year-old at Bama but has acquitted himself nicely by starting back at the bottom as a position coach and now running a great offensive attack in Carolina, where he is really the "Head Coach of the Offense" as Rivera is a defensive mind. If nothing else Shula would at least make a weapon out of Tannehill's athleticism.

Isn't that Ireland's Job (sarcasm)

Bring Chud back to Miami

Ireland has to go. If that's all we do its acceptable to me even though I would prefer the entire coaching staff go too. But getting rid of Ireland is only half the battle. Who we hire to replace him is just as important. We better not hire from within. There are several good candidates and we had better pursue them

cleaned up the original post and title... that was brutal.

So everything I totally fake tweeted on Sunday has actually happened. Awesome.

Either that, or the local media REALLY needs to unfollow me as their source.
