This means the Philbin only needs a QB coach and an offensive quality control coach to finish his staff.

Any idea who they're looking at for those positions?

 

[Daytona Fin]

so how many coaches from the previous staff have we retained? at what positions?

Wondering too, especially QB coach.

What about Jim Zorn as a possible QB coach? I read yesterday where he probably won't be back with the Chiefs.

8 have been retained:

Jeff Nixon- Runningbacks
Dan Campbell- Tight Ends
Kacy Rodgers- Defensive Line
Darren Rizzi- Special Teams

Dave Carrao- Def. Quality Control/Asst Linebackers
Darren Krein- Strength and Conditioning
Dave Puloka- Asst. Strength and Conditioning

Not really sure, and absolutely no clue on the offensive quality control coach. That guy could come from anywhere, and perhaps that intern from Iowa that was rumored to be hired could fill that role.

As for QB coach, not sure where they are looking. Tom Rossley and Jeff Jagodzinski were two speculated names.

Liking the staff Philbin is putting together wwwwaaaaayyyyy more than what Fisher is putting together in St. Louis. Glad we didn't get him. On a side note, it's real funny / ironic that St. Louis has not found a GM yet (it's been a month) despite Fisher's claims that he never wanted final say.

Me thinks things are looking up in Dolphin land......

Could've had another Dave but O-Line Coach Dave Deguliamo (sp) went to the Jets

Yea because Cassel blossomed under him last year.

Sure looks like Joe is his own man. So much for the BS Mike McCoy was shoveling, eh?
