To be honest I do not know a helluva lot about the in house candidates. That being said, do any of them make your toes tingle? Mine certainly do not from that bunch. IMO I think Mangini and Tannenbaum would seriously have to consider an outside candidate.
We are not losing our offensive coordinator. Our tru OC stands behind center in Chad Pennington. He is the one changing plays and shifts as he sees it. If anything a new offensive coordinator could teach our O-line how to run block better.
Would a new coach implement about 8 shifts before the snap on each play?? I think that was the most underrated thing about Schott. Guys went everywhere, and defenses were totally confused. We had fullbacks line up at WR...and then actually do the play from the position. It was a crazy offense that worked, with almost no talent.
Nope. San Diego's going to fire Marty instead and hire Cameron. Of course there's always the chance that Miami will go get Marty now and leave our guy alone.
Now that the Chargers are out, maybe the Dolphins go for Cam Cameron and leave our Schott alone and as soon as that happens we can label him as an assistant head coach.
Jason Garrett. I doubt he would be on Tangini's "short list", but he is a guy that my Dad and I threw out there today. Apparently, others are interested in him as wel.. Career He started his college career at Columbia University, but transferred to Princeton University following his father's resignation as head coach after Columbia's 0-10 1985 season. Garrett was the starting quarterback for the San Antonio Riders of the World League of American Football, but suffered a separated shoulder in the season opener. He rebounded the following year to lead San Antonio to a 7-3 record, but the North American West Division was very competitive, and the Riders did not make the playoffs. After two seasons as a cross-Atlantic venture, the Riders were shut down; the WLAF closed for two years, before a return as a six-team European-only setup (eventually re-branding itself as NFL Europe League). Garrett then went to the Dallas Cowboys, where he was a backup to Troy Aikman, and won two Super Bowls with the club. In 2000, he went to the New York Giants, where he appeared sparingly. After a short stint with the Miami Dolphins, he went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he was used primarily as a coach, although he was fourth on the depth chart and would have been used in an emergency situation. After retiring as a player, he is currently the quarterback coach for the Miami Dolphins. As of January 2007, Jason is under consideration for the Offensive Coordinator job of the Cleveland Browns (NFL), LSU Tigers (NCAA) and Alabama Crimson Tide (NCAA).
Hopefully Cam Cameron will shoot to the top of the dolphins' list. I cant see them passing up on him for such an unexperienced OC like Schott, even if Schott is the man, and runs a great offense. Losing Schott could be big problems for us because a) we have no viable replacements and b) we are a team that is young and trying to implement a fairly new offensive scheme, so having our OC take off after only a year of working with him, we could have some scheme problems next year (especially with the young clemens in the background)
Well Zorn certainly knew how to beat the jets. Even when Seattle was awful -- theyd beat us every year. (We seemed to play them alot).
Assistant Head Coach is no longer an elevating title under the new management guidelines. You can call your guy whatever you want and unless it's "head coach" he's fair game to be hired as head coach by somebody else.
Why do the Dolphins want a 33 year old head coach? Do they want to totally rebuild that franchise or something? It'll take Schottenheimer three years before he could a decent head coach and I think if the Dolphins get a few more guys, they are in a win now situation IMO.
The Dolphins are 19-29 over the last 3 seasons. That's not win now, it's keep losing if you do not make changes.
