Go for Broke Miami Dolphins!!!
Dolphins must find the right offensive mind to lead them going forward
The Miami Dolphins are still deep in the process of doing their thorough heading coach search. At the moment, the emerging favorite is Vance Joseph. This is a bit ironic because he was already in Miami in 2016 as the defensive coordinator and is clearly considered a defensive mind coach. Maybe it’s me, but he sounds like the defensive-minded Flores.
I think most will agree that Flores already proved he was a better head coach than Van Joseph, who went 11 and 21 in two seasons as the head coach in Denver. So at best Joseph feels like a lateral move… but I guess you never know. Hopefully, we don’t get a chance to find out.
Jim Harbaugh is the winning ticket!!
While the ship has sailed on Flores, that doesn’t mean we should settle for lateral moves. Instead, we should be going for broke. Unfortunately, this current head coaching market looks extremely weak to me. Most are just coordinators on teams that did well with some of the most talented players in the league on the roster to execute for them.
Just look at OC Brian Daboll for example on the Buffalo Bills. This guy has been coaching in the league for over 20 years and has been an offensive coordinator with Browns 2009-2010, Dolphins 2011, and Chiefs 2012… and all those offenses frankly sucked. Now he’s being heralded as the greatest thing since sliced bread because he helped coach-up Josh Allen. Sorry, but this sounds like when we got Philbin, who was offensive coordinator of the Packers and had Aaron Rodgers to do all the work.
Put it this way: Josh Allen is still going to be a stud next year with or without Daboll.
Ross has said he didn’t want to be the one to take Jim Harbaugh away from Michigan. That’s the one and only coach he should actually be going full steam ahead for. He would be the one guy that this fan base would say, ‘ok… this move we can see as an upgrade over Flores’. But that’s the problem with Ross, he doesn’t have that killer instinct to win at all costs. He wants to win but doesn’t want to take the best coach available from a college because he gives that college a ton of money. Who cares! You are the owner of the Dolphins, not Michigan University. The Dolphins franchise is dying to win and be relevant again… PUT them first.
Ross has tossed the dice over and over and got snake eyes
Go get Harbaugh! Then don’t stop there. Once you sign him, go and get Aaron Rodgers! Sure I know this sounds like a pipe dream, however, after Rodgers’s early exit in the playoffs, the best bookmaking software providers are betting he will be playing somewhere else next season. Ironically Miami is the 4th favorite on the list at just +450 with Denver being the number one favorite at +200. If you build it, they will come. If you get Harbaugh, you can bet you can waive him in front of Rodgers like a shiny new toy and maybe sway him down to the more enjoyable climate and location to live and play–with no state income taxes!
Sure, I know I’m reaching here. But Miami needs to stay away from this endless cycle of hiring coordinators as their next head coach. They must go with the proven winner in a current head coach like Harbaugh. Then put the cherry on top and get him Rodgers with the $75 million in cap space they have. Do this and you’ll get the fan base excited again… after you last ripped many of their hearts out with by firing of Flores.
What are the rest of the Miami Dolphins news fans’ thoughts on this?
Van… I hate to say it, but I can’t argue with anything you said. Jim interviewed with the Vikes… if he doesn’t even interview here… what will that say about Ross and his franchise?! I thought Jimmys article was pie in the sky, but I’m going to still going to hold out hope for a miracle going to be tough otherwise. I felt we were so close this time… I’m surprised so many fans think we are on the right track…. Hope they are right.
I don’t think Aaron Roger’s would play for the Miami Dolphins. This team has an Owner and Management problem. Secondly: It remains to be seen they can properly access talent i.e., Offensive line etc.
Thirdly another Head Coach? You should apply Admin!
Dolphins have a lot of time to get familiar with Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud who will be eligible for NFL draft entry 2023. The end of this college football season 2021 in my book. He had the best season showing pocket presence, Arm strength, intangible. He earned the job as a freshman. We missed on Hubbert!
I’ve been taking Kemo treatment the last year!
Hey STEVE!… Chemo!!! Ohh man, I’m soooo sorry. Are you doing well? Beating it!!! I’ll be praying for you. On a much lesser note, Rodgers would never come here. Haha I’d love to apply, brother… even just to brush up with Dan for a little.
Please keep me updated on how you are doing… I’ll be waiting on the good news.
Take care, Steve… be well!!!!
Hello Admin
Doing well on the treatment for my lungs, I’m not a smoker or drinker! This last passed year 2021. I’ve lost my right arm; Tumor removed from my thigh. It’s been a battle but still here by the grace of GOD. This cancer like hit me overnight, prior I had many Doctors visit etc. Jogged 6-9 miles a week, Gym, 3 acres lawn work etc.
Along with the same old Dolphins.
Dave Hyde made a comment last week that Flores would not have gotten along with Ross and Grier because their standards were too low. I agree with that statement, whoever comes to Miami have to accept their players i.e., QB etc.
The Cincinnati Bengals has a well balance team.
The Rams Have a monster defense and a quick striking offense.
Rams at home I think will win it.
WHAT!!!! Ohhh my God, Steven, I’m soooo sorry! I can’t believe it… my prayers are with you, brother… I can’t imagine being hit like that! There’s nothing I can say but I’m sorry. I think Rams have the edge, but if the bengals can stop the run they have a shot. Flores says he has a witness tothe bribe and texts from Grier to prove his case… that would be real fireworks…
… man, Steven… take it easy and be well… again, that’s such a tough story and I’m so glad you are still here. I’ll pray for you to finish this fight…
Harbough has a contract through 2025, which pays him $5.7 million per year. That is not close to Flores’s little $3 million annual salary. Harbough has complete control over his program. That means he does not have to kiss some owner’s ass.
The Dolphin’s roster is in bad shape. Remember, in addition to the players we don’t have, we will be losing a number of players through free agency this year. The general manager picks the players and has a record of not working with the coach. Ross kept Grier and fired Flores. Grier isn’t going to want Jim Harbough to tell him what to do.
Back when Ross tried to go behind Sporano’s back and hire Harbough, Harbough told Ross to be honest with Sporano and then go looking for a new coach. Harbough has no respect for Ross. Ross reinforced his poor character by stabbing Flores in the back publicly. All those claims about Flores being deficient were in direct contrast to the job Flores did by having back-to-back winning seasons with a team that was stripped of all talent just three years ago.
Last, remember how Ross wanted south Florida to pay for his stadium while he gave millions to the University of Michigan for a new business school building. He is a Michigan alumnus – he is not going to steal their coach without their permission. No, we are doomed to get whoever is desperate enough to take the job! There are eight teams looking for a new head coach. The worst team in the league has a better quarterback than we do. What is Jason Garrett doing these days? Vance Joseph might be the best candidate desperate enough to take the job!
