HedleyLamarr Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Looks like they've copied Alabama's book on how to hire a head coach....Seriously, on a sports-talk staion earlier today, they mentioned that the Dolphins are likely selecting an offensive-oriented head coach, since they re-signed Dom Capers to be their D-Coordinator. Chan Gailey's been interviewed twice. Is it plausible that the Dolphins hire Gailey for one season, having him keep a seat warm for Bill Cowher, and have Gailey become the O-Coordinator, since these two have worked together in the past?Sounds crazy, but then again, it is the Dolphins...

NJTank Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 No if they hire Gailey its to be head coach and for the next few years, Gailey coached the Cowboys once, and once a head coach to become a Coordinator is a big step down. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I love it when NFL teams hire white coordinators that used to be bad white head coaches. Recycling lame white guys is awesome.

Cyclopsis Joe Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 That's like complaining that there aren't enough black crew chiefs in NASCAR. If none applies, who else is going to get the job but a white guy? I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine too, I guess, but why? Black coaches suck at their jobs sometimes too, you know. If the Asscrowner gets another job to fail at, is that intrinsically better than hiring a white guy? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL's minority policy is a joke, but rich white country club owners are worse.Token interviews just to satisfy the minority hiring policy do suck, but I think the NFL has more of a "lack-of-original-thinking" bias than a racial bias when it comes to hiring coaches. Owners have always loved knowing exactly what they get, even if what they're getting isn't spectacular. Right now there aren't many proven minority candidates (other than Denny "Crown Their Ass" Green), so naturally white coaches will get most of the shots at head coaching positions simply because more of them have been head coaches.Right now there aren't even many hot minority coordinators... as mentioned, although Ted Cottrell was a legitimate finalist for several jobs in the past (not just a token interview), he hasn't exactly helped his resume in the last few years. Same with Tim Lewis... he was hot a few years ago but getting fired never helps. Mike Tomlin is probably the best shot... he's a serious candidate in Miami.But talking about people like James Lofton or Mike Singletary doesn't enhance the credibility of the minority coaching movement. While these guys may know their football and be excellent coaching candidates down the line, almost no one with their level of coaching experience, white or black, gets a shot at being a head coach (interestingly enough, one of the most recent exceptions to the rule of experienced/retread head coaches has been Jack Del Rio, who is Hispanic).Recent history is shown that owners who think outside the box for head coaches are often rewarded with good performances. But implying that owners are racist because they are too dumb to find serious candidates who don't have a large body of head coaching work is to view the facts selectively. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

ShawnM Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 They have the same problem the Flyers do it would seem. Different coaches, same last place results. What i found to be absolutely hilarious was my old boss going on about how great the Dolphins were going to be this season. Just like the year before. I'm still wondering if he's given up yet?

OB33 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Now this is a purely a rumor, but I also heard another interesting candidate might be up for the Miami Dolphins job:Mike Shula.Now that would be something. #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i found to be absolutely hilarious was my old boss going on about how great the Dolphins were going to be this season. Just like the year before. I'm still wondering if he's given up yet?Ummm... this will be the first time the Flyers will finish in last since the '91-'92 season, so you are wrong about that. This season you could have Scotty Bowman and Toe Blake in their coaching primes behind the bench and they would still suck. Now granted they have changed coaches a lot and haven't won the Cup, but "same last place results" is a bit of hyperbole. Regarding the Dolphins, I could understand where the positivity came from going in, since they finished great the year before, but they bombed big time on Daunte and Joey and the bad karma seemed to spread from there. I think it would be interesting if Mike Shula gets the job. Saban and him switching roles and the omnipresent feeling of Don Shula behind the scenes could cause serious drama.

BlueSky Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Having had a ring-side seat for the train wreck that was Jim Mora with the Falcons - even though as a Saints fan I enjoyed it immensely - the mere fact the Dolphins are considering him says their search is a joke.
