Dan Campbell Interim Coach, BUT Then What?

The Dolphins have officially fired Philbin and promoted Dan Campbell to the interim Head Coach position.

If Campbell can miraculously change the Dolphins fortunes, and lead this team to a winning season, then he would probably earn himself the heading coaching position for next season, however that may be a tall task even if he was the reincarnate of Vince Lombardi. However, most of the best pay per head reviews in the world are betting that Miami will be hiring a new head coach after this season ends.

All eyes will be on Campbell these last 12 games of the season, and it will be very interesting to see if he can inspire this team to start playing good sound football. I really hope he can, however, the fact is he is a rookie head coach now, and any rookie head coach is going to go through a bumpy learning curve.

If Campbell can’t turn this team around, then in all likelihood the organization is going to look outside to hire a new head coach for 2016. I just saw a list of potential head coach choices, that ranged from former head coaches, coordinators, to college head coaches with no NFL head coaching experience, and sadly to say it is not extremely impressive. Below is the list of possible coaches at the moment.

Jim Schwartz currently a free agent

Raheem Morris currently the assistant head coach of Atlanta Falcons

Todd Haley currently offensive coordinator of Pittsburgh Steelers

Josh McDaniels currently offensive coordinator of New England Patriots

Hue Jackson currently offensive coordinator or Cincinnati Bengals

Kyle Shanahan currently the offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons

Adam Gase currently offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears

Pep Hamilton currently offensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts

Gus Malzahn currently head coach of Auburn

Brian Kelly currently head coach of Notre Dame

Kevin Sumlin currently head coach of Texas A&M

Right off the bat, I would say I am not a fan of bringing in a college coach unless his name was Jim Harbaugh, however, Brian Kelly has been successful every where he has been. (Grand Valley State, Central Michigan, Cincinnati, and now Notre Dame) It is a different ball game when dealing with grown men that are making a lot of money, compared to college kids, who are playing for the love of the game, so it is often a rough transition for coaches to make it in the NFL.

Of the three coaches that are coordinator with No head coaching experience, the only one I would be semi-interested in is Kyle Shanahan of the Falcons. His offense was very good in Washington when he was the coordinator there, it was serviceable in Cleveland, which is actually a compliment because Cleveland has been terrible for this entire century, and his current offense in Atlanta is the third-best scoring offense in the entire league. He has the pedigree, and probably would be one of the better options out there.

In regards to the list of choices of coaches who do have heading coaching experience, I would say Josh McDaniels would be the top of the list. H is learning and being taught by the master, Bill Belichick, and considering we have to play New England two times every season, he would be a good inside guy to have in our organization.

Which of these coaches does the rest of the Miami Dolphins prefer if they had the choice to select the head coach if the Phins decide not to stick with Campbell after the season ends? Also, are there any other coaches out there that you guys have your eye on that you think can finally do the job?
