He is on the Phins Radar. he kind of looks like Larry coker. As long as players respect him and if he is good sure. it could be a great interview.

 

Does he have 20,000 relatives to buy tickets?

 

I have been thinking the same thing for a few days (Philbin/Flynn) but there just doesn't seem to be any interest.

 

If we're planning on going after Flynn, I think Philbin is a great hire.

 

He has a great name at least. Could have some fun with that.

 

Local media here in wisconsin has him rumored to go to either the chiefs or dolphins.

 

I would take him if we can't get Gruden.

 

Gruden is not happening. ex-coaches will always be undefeated in the booth/studio. So, if he tries his hand at another coaching job and fails, how is he going to get another cushy tv gig? There's only one ex-hc who has a lifetime tv(BSPN) job, parcells.

 

I think this could work makes sense if we try to sign flynn dunno how much money hes going to demand could even DARE I say go O LINE or wr with 1st round pick then.

 

I'm with you....I've been thinking Philbin + Flynn and a draft for WR, OL, OLB pass rusher, and speed pass catching TE and FS is the ticket...I could see Daboll and Philbin working out an effective high power offense that gets the job done. I honestly believe its the best path for the franchise. I'm not solding on trading away a boat load of picks at all.


With all of that said - I dont think I'd want Flynn without someone from GB that knows the system and how to work with the guy...something up there is working for these young QBs, so lets bring even a little taste of the system here.

 

The Packer coach I really want is Tom Clements, their QBs coach. The man who helped mold Rodgers and Flynn.

 

Philbin and Clements have been discussed at length in the Club, Philbin for several months now. He is one of the many that I would be fine with.

 

Are talking about a Philbin HC, Clements OC combo?

 

Wary of signing Flynn but I like Philbin

I'm not sure how much Matt Flynn will command but I'm wary of signing him at big bucks. The duo would be great for the sake of familiarity but don't want to break the bank for either.

 

I really don't see what the hype is about Philbin other then he is a coach with the Packers. He doesn't call the plays over there.

 

I was talking about Philbin as a HC, but if that happens then Clements as OC clearly becomes a possibility.

 

I expect that Flynn will command Kolb money. IMO he is clearly better than Kolb and better than Cassel, but he isn't on the level of a Luck. Luck is the kind that is so talented that he can work in most any system. Flynn has some talent limitations. I think Schaub is a decent comparable in terms of production potential (although they are completely different in terms of style). I think that if you brought in Flynn and put him in the right system that he would be a borderline elite guy who may or may not ever get beyond that.

 

While I can't say I was ever much of a Henne fan, I do believe that in the right system he could potentially be just under that Schaub level.

 

So let me make sure I understand this.

1. Ross said he wanted someone with head coaching experience on this level. No on the job training.
2. Ross said he wanted a young Don Shula
3. We are going to hire yet another assistant who has no head coaching experience on this level and is not a young Don Shula.

Wonderful.

 

couldnt have said it better

He interviewed.

 

Why do you care? It's not your money. If Ross wants to spend it, that's his call.

 

Ross is going around the system and tracking his plane will garner no leads. He really has no clue how things are done.

Here is a nice bio from packers website on Philbin for those who might not be familiar with Mr Philbin.

 

Armando thinks there might be a better GB candidate for hire.

Did the Dolphins interview best Green Bay assistant?

The Dolphins have announced their interivew with Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin has concluded this Saturday afternoon.

Great.

I'm wondering if they interviewed the best Green Bay assistant?

The fact of the matter is many NFL people I speak with tell me the biggest budding star in the Green Bay Packers coaching staff is assistant head coach Winston Moss. Yes, Joe Philbin is considered to be a very good coach. He is a solid X and O guy and he has no problem communicating with most of his players.

But those same people tell me Moss commands a room when he walks into it. Those people tell me when Moss speaks, everyone listens. They tell me Moss will be a head coach in the NFL and if he gets into the right situation, he will be a bigtime winner because he knows football, knows how to pick good people, and is a natural leader.

And so again, I ask, are the Dolphins interviewing the right Green Bay assistant?

I mentioned Winston Moss as a HC candidate when there was talk about Russ Ball as a potential GM candidate. If you gave me Moss, Tom Clements as OC and Matt Flynn at QB I'd call it a slam dunk offseason.

 

i'm all for this philbin / flynn stuff... no one (fisher included) has me really excited for this offseason... i'd love some packer magic... and i think although he might not call the plays he is still an influence in the gameplan and has been for a while........ I'd be really happy if we got this 1-2 punch.

 

Every experienced coach that you may want was at one time a assistant with no head coaching experience.

It wasn't for a lack of trying. Ross has tried to get Cowher, Gruden, and Fisher. They turned him down. Move on.

 

Exactly.
That should tell you something about the state of the franchise. And how it's perceived.
And hot damn, I love your sig.

 

No it doesn't.

Cowher isn't going to coach anywhere, neither is Gruden. So those two not coming is not a reflection on us.

You have no idea what Fisher is going to do yet or why he makes whatever decision he does.

 

Who would you hire with HC experience

Regardless what happens in his career and Miami's thoughts on his interview, hope this turns out well for Philbin, but doesn't sound good.
