Dolphins hire Eagles quarterback coach Bill Lazor as their new OC

@adamschefter And @mortreport reports, Miami Dolphins have hired Eagles quarterback coach Bill Lazor as their new offensive coordinator.

 

Wait didnt the Lions hire him yesterday!??? Also why would he leave the Eagles after one year and accept the same position here? Strickly Pay??

 

sigh...i hope this works

 

Yeah, baby!


Just need a GM who can tell his elbow from his arse.

 

Like it. It's Lazzzzzzzzzzorrrrrr time! Thought he'd been hired by the Lions though? We must have gone back with an offer he couldn't refuse...

 

Dolphins hire Bill Lazor for OC

@flasportsbuzz: ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports Dolphins have hired Eagles QB coach Bill Lazor as OC, a day after reports said Detroit had hired him.

 

Ban. If untrue.

Edit: If true...

 

Wait one damn second...

 

***shrugs, doesn't have an opinion either way, waits and sees***

 

We're facked

 

Will wait for team announcement.

 

It is legit, multiple reports...

 

I was under the impression that the Lions were hiring him, but it's really an interesting move that I quite like if true.

 

"I knew who Bill Lazor was before even the Eagles fans."

 

Im not seeing anything anywhere other then Detroit hired him.

 

if this is true and it seems like it is now per all sites reporting it on twitter at least, It looks like we have an inexperienced Offensive Coordinator (NO NFL experience) this is a blurp from yesterdays hiring news of him to Detroit. I hightlighted some concerns and positives.

Seems like we might have some growing pains unless now Philbin will be assisting and helping design the gameplan ala Greenbay days?

 

Wow...seeing it now.

So he chose Miami over Detriot? Unpossible!! We were lead to believe Detroit was the dream job and Miami was an undesirable pit of snakes!

 

Yep...holy ****. This is legit.

Grins....we done stoled someone elses OC offa dere plate.

I mean..if this doesnt tell you change is in the air..I dont know what does. That sounds like something what would happen to us...lol

 

As sort of a brief primer, Bill Lazor is a guy who has been around and had coaching experience under multiple systems(Mike Holmgren, Dan Reeves, Joe Gibbs). Chip Kelly hired Lazor, and OC Pat Shurmur to help blend his offense with a WCO base. Basically you've taken the Chip Kelly "elements"- The tempo, the run game, formation tendencies, etc. and grafted them to a lot of WCO passing concepts.

If Lazor is hired, I would tend to think it would be to bring that style offense to Miami, because it meshes very well with what Philbin would like to do. It's got the zone blocking, the hurry up elements, the 11-package base, and combines "new" innovation elements like packaged plays and option football.

 

Well...to be honest...

Ed Werder said..."expected to be signed"....I think everyone took that to mean he was signed.

 

But this doesn't match the media narrative of doom and gloom surrounding the Dolphins, and that nobody wants to come to the organization ever. Thus, this can't be true.

 

It is everywhere, you waiting for the official?

 

Without a doubt...I believe this is what we will see. This really is what Philbin wanted to do from the start. Remember the hurry up aspect of our practices. People were saying theyd never seen anything like it.

 

Here's some articles with some interesting information:

He was basically my favorite option and a guy I was researching before Sherman got fired, so it's a bit weird to see it coming true to be honest.

 

And my excitement meter just rose faster then a Chip Kelly offense.
