Despite my utter hatred of the Jets, I always liked Pennington and when he came to Miami, I was thrilled.
I think it's very telling that he came to help in Miami...and not in New York. :up:

Good Highlight of our season and Pennington that year.dolfan7171, dolfan32323, RoninFin4 and 2 others like this. -
I don't quite understand going from the jets last season to us this season and if he will be continuing the journey with other teams, Philbin got short on the question when it was asked if he would could be here even longer, I wonder if the door is open for a position and it's up to chad at this pont, Philbin looks down and say chads a busy man, great family man..
Chad pennington can motivate people, I would love him on our team. -
I think if Chad Pennington wanted to have a coaching job in the NFL at this time, he would have one. He has stated previously that he wanted to spend time with his family after retiring, and he did also say that one time that he thought being a high school football coach would be the best fit. That he is spending time with NFL teams (the jets last year, the dolphins for this week, and who knows where in the future) suggests a man who wants to stay around the game, but is waiting until the time is right for him to commit to a job. He may also be assessing at what level of the game he wants to work at.
I would have Pennington as a coach on our team in a heartbeat; I don't think it is rocket science to see his potential as a future head coach with the tools for success at every level. Right now however, it is difficult to see how he would fit onto our offensive staff with Sherman and Sherman's son in law holding down the main two jobs.
That said, if the things were to go completely wrong this year, 3-13 wrong and Philbin loses the team etc.; I would personally be ok with Pennington being interviewed for the head coaching job. If he could show evidence that he could put a staff together, I'd hire him too (pending resolution of the GM situation). As much as I'd like Pennington to be our coach that is not a scenario I'm rooting for however.dolfan7171 and djphinfan like this. -

I liked this post but IMO your jumping the gun. He has alot of work to do and prove in the coaching ranks But he has a ton of potential and look forward to his work 10 yrs from now. But the majority of your post rockedDaben and Larryfinfan like this. -
Penny could only do 2 of those things. The WildCat took care of the chunk yardage. Basically, the WildCat was a necessity because of Penny's arm strength flaw and without it, we would have been no better than an 8-8 team tops.Larryfinfan likes this. -

Like most, I love what Penny brought to this team or any team he played on. I think that if HE wanted, he'd be a QB coach already in this league. I think he's capable of more, but I also think that is a decision he hasn't made up for himself just yet...
And to be thinking of him as a HC in the next year or two is a bit too far....he'd have to prove himself as committed enough to be successful at this level before he is considered for anything like a HC...It'll take longer than a year or two...siciliansith and Fin D like this. -

Always had a man crush on Penny. It is a damn shame that he couldn't stay healthy in the end. One great pass to Hartline and then he injured his shoulder again.
Most accurate QB ever. -

I believe Ireland saw that we could use something and Philbin was happy to oblige nothing more nothing less. Smart move when yr two qb needs to cut his turnovers and work on accuracy. I agree with ya Pennington was a class act! I loved mr Noodle i was eating Ramen for weeks when we made the playoffs lol -

If Penny had the arm of Brady or Manning - he'd have been a great one. I thought his intelligence as a QB was second only to Manning when Chad was in his prime. This is where he could add a lot to Tannehill.

While writing notes for Tannehill and Moore, Pennington tore his rotator cuff. Sadly, he will be out for the remainder of the year.

Penny was 2/3 of an excellent QB. That missing 1/3 was filled in by the WildCat. -
I agree with you, I think he's been scouting the NFL, Im sure he realizes he's got Jim Harbaugh potential, slightly crazy, not afraid to be himself, while being an elite leader, if he doesn't realize, he needs to..
I've said this before when he retired, If I was in charge, I would do everything possible to make sure this is the place he wants to come when he decides to coach..I'm very impressed with our staffs confidence to bring Chad in and his willingness to come here, I would make sure he had an offer on the spot, I'm pretty sure that's been conveyed by Philbin, we have a young Qb coach, who seems to have potential, an old coordinator, seems like a great fit..If I'm Philbin I'm on it, I wish we could somehow develop coaches and trade them for assets? Wonder why we can't?
Anyways, yeah, come on Chad, no going to another team next year there buddy, he had too much dolphin gear on yesterday to cheat on us next year, he better not or il feel cheated on. -
Reading some of these posts, I can't help but shake my head in disbelief. Just because you were a mediocre player doesn't mean you can't be a great coach. The winningest head coach in the NFL history was an undersized mediocre defensive back for the Cleveland Browns...Don Shula!

" The two quarterbacks met more than once for classroom-type sessions."
So when sparano got the gig over there, Sanchez because of the rules could only spend so much time with his new coordinator, initiated contact with Pennington, Penny brought his dolphin play book and gave some lessons to the guy who wears different color headbands.
I wonder if he wore jet gear from head to toe lol
Oh, and he lives in south Florida.. -

Didn't help Chad Henne though.

I would also add that this is all a hypothetical I hope doesn't happen here, as it would be nice for success to find us with the current staff.siciliansith and djphinfan like this. -

As for Pennington..one of my favorite Dolphins Qb's, loved his game talk about maximizing a limited skillset and Rhodes Scholar mind w/Leadership qualities.
IMO, Tannehill's leadership is what sets him apart from Henne, there is -0- chance he'll ever do an event in drag whilst on vacation.
