Karl Dorrell is your new QBs coach, Bowles on the move?
49 replies
Muckretired_adminOPWide receivers coach Karl Dorrell will now be the quarterbacks coach in 2011, a league source has confirmed. Dorrell, 47, has never coached quarterbacks in his 22-year coaching career, but has served as the Dolphins’ wide receivers coach for the past three seasons.
Looks like Ike Hilliard will indeed be the new WR's coach. And the staff looks to now be complete.
Unless Todd Bowles is named defensive coordinator in Arizona.

finsergNew MemberWow he nevered coached Qb in 22 yrs sounds scary to me.Not sure why they didnt go after someone who had experience.

Well do you think people would be happy with someone that has zero experience ? its like a no brainer
we need someone who can help out our Qb that being henn or bringing in someone.
KillerphinsNew MemberI have been fairly silent up till now but this move totally eats. Look forward to zero QB development.:angry:
pocolocosubscriberWith this slew of inexperienced or unsuccessful coaches, I think we're seeing a lame duck effect, despite Sparano's recent extension. No one worth anything here wants to be here for a one year position, so we make do with the bottom of the barrel.

I dont think sparano last if he does not have a good season.

Brian Daboll is the QBs coach.
This is true.
KillerphinsNew MemberSorry I had a knee jerk moment there which is not my style....... deep breath.
I really need to get laid. :lol:

Yeah, DaBoll is the one who will make or break Henne this year, as well as our O and our season. I believe Dorrell, being overly familiar with our WR's, will help Henne in seeing what they see, want, and need. JMO

FWIW: He has been an offensive coordinator.

So, Dorrell is finally going to make Henne believe pass that are 10 feet high cannot be caught and that bounce passes do not count ? :yes:

Yea saw that ,but i figure we need someone with experience in Qb"s
The_Dark_Knightforum_veteranI know this move is making everyone scratch their heads...made me scratch mine at first too, but then I gave it some thought...
Yes, we all know that Brian Daboll will be the ultimate one who holds Henne's career in his hands. As for Dorrell being the QB's coach, this MIGHT make some sense in a diabolical Dr Evil kind of way...
Quarterbacks throw to...wide receivers.
Dorrell having been the WR's coach for the past few years already knows how Hartline, Bess and Marshall think and what they are going to do going downfield.
Dorrell MIGHT be effective in coaching that in to Henne's head..."This is what he's going to do...so anticipate it...even if you don't see it...it's going to happen"
(Or at least that could be the thought process behind this move)
Sugar or schidt...that's what this move is going to ultimately end up being.

That was my thinking as well, especially with Marshall, kind of a bridge for DaBoll and Henne more so than a "QB coach." We shall see.

Yeah, gotta get him off that basketball mentality, unless it's a 10 foot lob pass at the crossbar for a dunk. LOL
dolphinkevNew MemberHe was a head coach at a major university, I think he knows something about the qb position, plus I think daboll will be working a lot with qb's.

yeah i agree. Ross made the boneheaded move of boneheaded moves by looking for another coach but failing to bring one in. He should have either shut up and let everything play out for another year or he shouldve fired sparano and changed coaches. This scenario now is just trying to make the best of a bad situation
2019 DRAFT WISH LIST
1) DT Dexter Lawrence - Clemson

7) RB Wes Hills - Slippery Rock
Reporter: "Why did you fire Coach Gase?"
Ross: "Because he wants to win now"
MikeHonchosubscriberSo the guy who formerly instructed our WRs how to not catch the ball, is now going to help develop / teach our young QBs...
...what could possibly go wrong?
Isn't this a little like hiring a failed accountant to fix your transmission?
Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

the problem i have with it is .... what exactly did he do with the WRs we've had .... has he truly made a difference with Bess or Hartline ??? Ginn was a lost cause - because he didn't have mental toughness, you can't fix that. But list the success stories the Dorrell has created at the WR position (Welker/Bess), to then give some indication that he has the ability to do something with a different position.

That's what I was thinking when I read it too.
