    Not the big name coach i was expecting a month ago.
    Mr Ireland should be able to tell him whatever he wants.

    I like the fan who complained about running the read option 20 times a game. What else was he supposed to do with Tebow at QB? Tebow completed 46% of his passes and was sacked 33 times. He's a liability at QB and the fact that this guy even got 7 wins out of him is testament to his ability as a coach to tailor his system to his QB. Tebow is a better athlete but Matt Moore has the better QB skill set. Will be interesting to see if this guy can develop a QB here in Miami.

    Seems these opinions on twitter are just taking what Drew Rosenhaus said and assuming it's true. Nothing rock solid yet. Not saying it isn't true, if I had to say who the front runner was though, it would be McCoy.

    I like the fact that he is young, hungry, and supposedly smart with good leadership qualities. I am not crazy about the fact that one of his major influences is Dan Henning. People go on and on about how he is a John Fox guy, and while he did coach on Fox's staffs, I guess people are forgetting that Fox is a defensive guy. Most defensive coaches are going to be in favor of playing a ball control, ground and pound type offense- just like we had with Wannstedt.

    You can pretty much throw out stats and what they did in Denver this season with Tebow, since the offense had to be catered to his very limited skillset. He has shown he has the ability to adjust, or at least that he is open to the idea. I just hope he is ready to open it up rather than run his offense like Dan Henning. The bottom line is that a lot of times, it almost doesn't matter who the head coach is, and enough people don't realize it. Ok, I take that back somewhat. It matters, but often not quite to the degree that people think. If you have a good QB, players that buy into what you're selling, and a good coaching staff in place, you are going to be successful.

    I can't say I'm all that excited about this choice because I really don't know much about him, I'm in a 'wait and see' mode about this hire, as a fan I hope he's the best guy for the job. Hopefully he and Ireland find the Qb of the future and we build the offense around him and solve the problems we've been having on offense since Marino retired. We have a lot of talent on offense, if we can fix the line and Moore plays well we can be a solid team next year while we groom a young Qb. Maybe Moore is the answer, who knows but really we need to solidify the line and Qb position or the coach doesn't matter all that much.

    Where do people get this Ross want's one and Ireland want's the other idea from? It seems like some people dislike them so much, they make stuff up just to keep the hate going.

    It certainly seems like the tail is wagging the dog, if Ireland wins this battle with Ross.

    They're fans. Fans of a team with a pop gun offense that just got its doors blown off last weekend. Like just about anything, it needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt. Fans are all about the knee jerk reaction. I am not by any means trying to be some McCoy apologist, but most sports fans will never be accused of being able to be objective and see the bigger picture. Regardless of who the head coach ends up being, it will still depend on the talent that is brought in (or not brought in)- particularly at the QB position.

    The fact is that hiring a new head coach is really a crap shoot. The vast majority of the new head coaches hired in any season are fired within the next 3-4 years. For every Belichick, or Harbaugh, there are a dozen former head coaches who are now back coaching as assistants or are no longer coaching at all.

    It all comes down to the head coach having the talent on the roster to actually win the majority of the games during the season. Right now the Dolphins have enough talent on the roster to win the games against the other bottom tier teams in the league. They don't have the QB or the overall talent on the roster to win games against the better teams in the NFL. Unless there is a severe upgrade in talent and a much better QB added to the roster in the next couple of years, the new head coach named sometime this week will be the former head coach in just a few years.

    McCoy HC
    Philbin OC

    Why would Philbin leave the Packers OC job to come to the Dolphins to do the same job with a much worse offense (and your answer cannot include money)?

    Mike McCoy has a lot of coaches that have influenced his career. Ron McBride at Utah. George Seifert and Mike Fox in Carolina. Even if Dan Henning had some influence over him, that isn't at all a bad thing at this point. Mike has already showed more of a willingness to tailor his system to the quarterback, which Dan Henning clearly did not do. I think people forget that Dan Henning played a big role in developing the Washington Redskins offense of the 1980s, so he was at one point a very innovative offensive mind.

    I have heard Mike McCoy talk about this particular coach though as having a great deal of influence on his career, and the coach he mentioned was a guy that coached him when he played in the CFL. George Cortez, who is a passing guru that developed Aaron Rodgers at California. Cortez is currently the head coach of the Hamilton Tiger Cats.

    I preferred Philbin, but if its McCoy that's fine. For me it was basically the difference between someone offering you $100 or $95. All I really cared about in this coaching search was that it wasn't Fisher or Mularkey.

    Now....go get us a mutha ****ing QB.

    Are we potentially hiring a guy, just because he squeezed 8 miracles out of Tim Tebow, including an improbably upset over a decimated Pittsburgh team? Please tell me there's more substance to this hire.

    Granted he had Tebow but this guy ran games into the ground with his playcalling then opened up in the 4th week after week... If he in fact called the plays then he plays to not lose the game, we've had plenty of those coaches around here. Lets play to win.

    Not sure I agree with this. It's how I'd want it to be. Like him or not, Ireland is the football guy. Ross is the bankroller, and he employs Ireland to deal with the football side of things. It's when he stops listening to his advisers that I'll start to worry.

    So coming out and firing on the first play of OT against Pitt was playing not to lose?

    How much can u seriously open your offense up with an inaccurate QB?

    Thats the cards he was dealt and Tebow maybe inaccurate as **** but he has his moments. Waiting till the 4th to let him throw the ball is conservative BS. What happened in OT could of happened more often if he took more chances.

    I wanted Ross to sacrifice Ireland for Bill Cowher or Jeff Fisher...because they are very good head coaches and immensely popular throughout the league and would have had no issues pulling top caliber coordinators and staff. I wanted Jim Harbaugh last year.

    Then your rants are heretofore invalid, because you think the only thing that kept us from getting Cowher was Ireland and that Fisher is a good coach based on his illustrious 16 year record of mediocrity.

    I don't think you realize how bad Tebow is at passing. He was doing everything he could to stop Tebow from losing games with his arm. The only reason he threw all over the Steelers was because of their ridiculous game plan and terrible tackling.

    McCoy played to his strengths, which was the run game. How can he be blamed for that?

    My thoughts are invalid? Because the bottom line is our owner doesn't get it done?

    Use that recycled, copy and pasted rebuttal on someone else. You'd be content hiring Paul Ruebens.

    You know.....this thought just crossed my mind.

    If there are so many people that know exactly what will and wont work for the Phins......

    Why do we have such a hard time being an elite franchise. I mean....if you read many of the posts here and elsewhere....so many fans already know our McCoy is gonna suck...and we will be drafting Barkley.

    So many experts, youd think Ross would have no problems putting a Championship team on the field....
