Get our Asses moving and sign a coach before the best are gone!!

Zimmer PLEASE!!

Sounds like Peyton will be traded!

That's what I was thinking....

They cant trade him without taking a HUGE cap hit. They either keep him or cut him. No other option.

Well on the whole Fisher thing we will never know but in reality does he not now have to say that?

Its all about saying the right thing once you have the job. Also from my POV he did us a massive favor so I say we move and and thank God that we dodged that bullet.

I agree

It’s a moot point anyway. He decided to go elsewhere….time to move on. Let the Rams worry if they were first or second choice…..

FinsSince70 - January 17, 2012 reply

It was obvious that Fisher was playing the leverage game when he took two weeks to decide between two organizations that combined for eight wins in 2011

That guy is a douche.

Also there is this that applies to the second tweet-

#Dolphins informed #Bears special teams coordinator Dave Toub he is not in running for head job. Miami will bring some in for 2nd i’view

Even if Toub was a candidate

Miami could hire him from Chicago no problem. Him resigning with the Bears did not disqualify him from the Dolphins’ job beacuse it’s considered a promotion and Chicago couldn’t stop it. Just wanted to throw that out there that Toub was eliminated because he resigned.

Finhead83 - January 17, 2012 reply

Yeah, but him resigning means it's likely he thinks he won't be our HC.

It's possible that he resigned after being notified that he was out of the running for the Phins job.

yeah that's what i meant

That's what I'm thinking happened.

Plus the Bears already denied the move of a secondary coach to interview for Minnesota’s DC position. Resiging Toub and some other coaches would help prevent dissatisfaction from some Bears staff in Chicago preventing growth in their coaches, especially after Love Smith said he was hoping some of their assistants would move up the chain.

Finhead83 - January 17, 2012 reply

I'd give Jim Caldwell an interview if I'm the Dolphins.

JP 23 - January 17, 2012 reply

??????

ummmmm 2-14, I realize no Manning but still!

lol...

Anyone see him coming here

Phinsphana - January 17, 2012 reply

No.

Miami is going in a different direction. They stick with Moore, and draft a QB this year or next….

Mike Nolan reportedly out as Defensive Coordinator, hired by Atlanta

Per Rotoworld.

BSerious72 - January 17, 2012 reply

Well, Atlanta's D is about to get a lot better

so here are the remaining options

Carmichael
Zimmer
Mccoy
Maybe chip kelly
Anyone else?

AnishB15 - January 17, 2012 via mobile reply

oh yeah

Philbin too, but I doubt he will coach after what happened with his son.

AnishB15 - January 17, 2012 via mobile reply

Sounds like Philbin is going to interview with Tampa

Winston Moss. Don't know why they're not interviewing him.

I got a feeling it’ll be McCoy. Then they’ll draft Tannehill. I see alot of similarities between him and Tebow. Carmichael would also be really decent, but does he want to leave N.O.? I’m not so sure he does just yet. Chip Kelly isn’t coming, although I wouldn’t mind him right now.

Wonder why the Colts didn’t go for Fisher? And I wonder who they’ll go after. Maybe Cowher will be tempted…

this is only people that have already (reportedly) been interviewed

AnishB15 - January 17, 2012 via mobile reply

Bowles!!!

Don’t forget about Todd Bowles!!! With the remaining list I wouldn’t be upset if we got Carmichael or Bowles.

On a related, but unrelated note, I wonder if JT99 or CP10 has ever considered coaching? JT99 would be a nice guy to have sticking around in the locker room as a linebackers or DL coach. Same with CP10 as a QB coach. Both are very knowledgable players and both would make a great addition to the staff.

the sky is falling and I'm coming down CLS again.

I guess it is the end of the world 12/23/12
NOooooooooo

Stats407 - January 17, 2012 via mobile reply

I think doomsday is 12/21/12

This^

Yeah.. I thought I had two more days.. but, NOT.

I thought it was 12/12/12 wait, we passed that!

With Nolan Gone ZIMMER making more an more sense!!

SlotMachinePlayer - January 17, 2012 reply

Couple things:

Good to hear about Toub.
Better snap up McCoy before the Colts do, and if not, the phone at Carmichael’s house better be ringing right about now.
Zimmer? Sure thing…as a Defensive Coordinator.

DolphinNation - January 17, 2012 reply

Well Jim Caldwell is available.

Which doesn’t help the Dolphins search for a competent coach.

Maybe as OC?

And also, is it Caldwell's fault the FO surrounded the team with mediocre players? It's more the FO's fault than Caldwell's at where they ended up.

Unfortunately...

Miami better speed up the process before Indy potentially takes the coach Miami wants. The Indy job would be enticing with the prospect of having to choose between Manning and Luck.

Finhead83 - January 17, 2012 reply

This^^

WILD THOUGHT

Go get Peyton Manning if he is released or willing to be traded….then draft Tannehill in 2nd rnd to learn under Peyton for 2-3 years…Tannehill is thought to have a very high ceiling with some of the best intangibles since Rivers…needs some time!
Who better to learn from???

There is no way they can trade him as all those monies would accelerate to one year and count against the cap.

If they release him before the bonus is due then they are free and clear. If they keep him those monies will be spread out over the remainder of the contract or at least until he is gone.

It totally worked for Curtis Painter right?

What about Damon Huard? He got to learn behind Marino..

Little Nicky 21 - January 17, 2012 via Android app reply

Just a wild thought guys .... nothing serious!

Besides if we did pick-up Manning I don’t think we would spend a 2nd round on another QB…more likely protection & weapons!

Tannehill will go in the 1st.

Seriously Nicky? smh

Big difference between a guy that is a fringe first round talent and a 6th round and undrafted QB.

The Tannehill/Manning idea isn’t a bad idea, better than Moore or Flynn. I am still with you on the RG3 move up though.

The only thing I was addressing was learning from Manning

I think the QB mentor is a highly overrated..

Little Nicky 21 - January 17, 2012 via Android app reply

Unless you're learning from Peyton Manning........

Most QB’s should be thrown right in but Tannehill is one of the exceptions. He would be best served playing behind someone like Peyton for a couple of years. If Moore is the QB then yes Tannehill starts right away, I don’t want him learning to throw behind guys. lol

I like Tanehill as a project

Patssuck456 - January 22, 2012 reply

Agreed CP10 was a genius at the position and henne still sucks

Phinsphana - January 17, 2012 reply

Festisio....

Regret of the day........

You know you’re getting old when you have to look something up on Urban Dictionary, I did just that and well…….. it was the regret of the day. lol

LOL!

Don't feel too bad- I did the same frickin thing after reading Festisio like 100 times on here

Yes we are old.

Fuhbawl - January 18, 2012 reply
