miami staff coaching the senior bowl

Best news yet!

How did we get to coach the Senior Bowl? I thought it goes by whichever team has the worst record... Your telling me that between picks 1-11 only the Lions wanted to coach the Senior Bowl? Either way I am really excited that we get to coach it, you can learn a lot from coaching players there.

anyone know hte south rosteR?

Huh, I wonder if they'll fall in love with a prospect like Senior bowl coachs tend to do.

The Tunafather called in a favor from his associates?

Sparano as a rule films everything, from practices in the spring to the typical scouting film, this will give them a heck of an opportunity to form opinions on players.

And Crennel was hanging out with Parcells this past spring during OTA's, so if he is still unemployed he would be a great sounding board on a player like Greg Hardy.

Few intriguing prospects Miami most likely will be coaching: Anthony Dixon, Brandon Lafell, Shay Hodge, Jimmy Graham, Dan Williams, Terrence Cody, Jerry Hughes, Brandon Spikes, Nate Allen

Per Edgar:

But the five AFC teams that finished the Dolphins - Kansas City (4-12), Cleveland (5-11), Oakland (5-11), Buffalo (6-10) and Jacksonville (7-9) - either declined or do not have a staff in place to coach the game, according to the NFL

"do not have staff in place"?

None of them have fired their coaches yet, maybe they plan to and couldn't accept the invite?

True that, and they just hired a GM, however that leaves what, 4 teams that were ahead of us including the Jags who do not figure to fire Del Rio.

They would have to pay him 13 million if they did fire him.

However it happened is fine by me - gotta take breaks any time you can get them. And this seems like a HUGE break for Miami given the number of holes we still have to fill.

seriously, we have a real chance to get 2 excellent linebackers, maybe 3, just depends on crazy we wanna get, build that damn unit in one draft lol.

Couldn't have said it better myself. We definitely need to come away from the draft and free agency with 3-5 new LBs IMO.

Three of the players you didn't list are three guys who I think the staff either will end up liking a lot, or already does.

TE, Colin Peek
WR, Brandon LaFell
RB, Ben Tate

there are many more that I didnt list. Anyone could emerge. I just listed the ones I thought would impress the most. I'm not a LaFell fan. I see the athleticism but I just dont see him being great. Could be wrong I acknowledge but I cant like everybody lol. Peek I could see but I'm not sure he's an upgrade over Fasano. Also Nalbone just finished a year of weight training and technique work. He may never amount to anything but if they were right about him being a project he should be much improved in 2010

I like Colin Peek. He didn't show a whole lot in the National Title Game, but he was great in the SEC Title game. Sneaky good speed/receving abilities. Wouldn't mind him or either of the other two in aqua and orange next year.

I'm not sure he's not either, but if he were just equal to Fasano that wouldn't be the worst thing. Two "top of the line" run blocking TEs who are capable of catching 35-40 passes for like 400+ yards a year would be pretty good. Sure neither might ever be an all-pro, but you could do a lot worse than two Fasano's (or even one, I mean just look at Haynos vs Fasano).

And just because some of us on the board might not be LaFell fans doesn't mean the staff doesn't like him or that they won't end up liking him. He's big, fast, talented enough to be a very good #1, was very productive for multiple years, stayed to his senior year so he played a lot, and he's a willing run blocker.

While at LSU he had at least 2 catches in 40 straight games, and at least 1 catch in 41 straight games, was #2 in career TD rec (25, 1 behind Bowe), #3 in rec (175), and #5 in yds (2,517).

Like I said, plenty of people here might not like him, but that doesn't mean the FO won't.

i certainly dont disagree with you. Lafell and Taylor Mays are two players that generally have alot of negativity associated with their games butmight blossom into great pros if given the right opportunity. I agree that he could impress greatly. Its simply like I said, I cant like everybody....I'm from New York for Gods sake. It goes against my very nature to like everybody :lol:

I recall reading that Jeff Ireland has a lot of love for the LSU program. Them and Alabama.

I would like us to get LaFell (not only because I think he can be very good), but because I could get some kick ass memorabilia of his around here. :lol:

Agreed... add Brandon Graham to that list as well

Graham would be a North squad member in all likelihood. So the fins would really only see him in the game, they wouldn't coach him.
