There is already a thread on our 2019 QB options, now lets move on and look at our Front office overhaul. I will not be including a Football Czar type in here as I just am not a fan of them. This will instead be focused on a new GM and head coach to see who is really available

GM
- George Patton- Asst GM Minnesota Vikings-proven track record and excellent results....Gen. Patton
- Eliot Wolf- Assistant Cleveland Browns- A rising star in the football world
- Nick Caserio- Director of Player Personnel New England- drafting has been poor recently
- Brian Xanders- Senior Personnel Exec- LA Rams- the true creator of the Denver Broncos that won a super bowl
- Alonzo Highsmith- VP of Player Personnel- Cleveland Browns- Experienced as a scout and Personnel

While there is no John Dorsey to hire this year, Cleveland built their front office the right way and has one of the best in all of football. That is something Miami needs to look at copying. My personal favorite hire would be George Patton as I think he would be a home run and than try and steal Brian Xanders as an Asst GM.

Head Coach
John Harbaugh- HC Ravens- proven record as a defensive minded coach. Could build a strong staff
Josh Mcdaniels- OC Patriots- screw this guy......
Bruce Arians- rumor has it he will only come back for the the Browns job, would be a great hire though.
John Defilippo- OC Vikings- has done good work with the Eagles and Vikings. If we get Patton, he would immediately be at the top of the list.
Dan Campbell- TE Coach and Asst Head Coach- NO- this would be quite funny and he did interview very well with both Miami and Indianapolis. Probably not happening though
Darren Rizzi- SP Coordinator- Miami- he probably won't have a shot but man does this guy develop his unit every year.
George Edwards- DC Vikings- he has built quite the defensive in Minnesota all while developing a lot of young guys into productive players


There are also some head coaches in the college ranks such as Lincoln Riley, Chris Petersen, and my personal college sleeper Matt Campbell out of Iowa State.

My choice would be George Patton for GM, Brian Xanders Asst GM, and John Defilippo as Head Coach. Who do you guys prefer?

I like all the possible GM's you mentioned in pretty much the order you listed them as. I'd also put Reggie McKenzie's name in that bucket.

As far as coaches I have a short list;
John Harbaugh
Jim Harbaugh
Jim Schwartz
David Shaw.

I want experience as a HC. Yes I know Shaw has never been a HC in the NFL, but he has a lot of ties to the NFL and a network of veteran coaches. He could build an NFL staff.

I do think Gase will be a successful HC in the NFL, just not with Miami. He's a smart guy and will learn from mistakes when he gets his next shot.
 
After pretty much losing most interest in the Fins (50 years+ bleeding aqua and orange) due to the lack of pretty much even adequate insight of upgrade FO, HC, coaching staff to start player evaluation QB, LB, OL and to a degree just out right common sense, and to many posters still thinking RT is even a possible answer (snooze) has made this team and to a large degree the Talk in here rather boring and more repetitional spew blabbered out for years now.

Realizing my lack of knowledge in this particular field of a whole new FO coaching and players turn over would go out and get the best guy as a GM that has the quality and PROVEN insight to build all aspects of a team. IMO

Only one I could come up with who I feel and again JMO would be Ozzie Newsome. (retired).
Think I'd back a Brinks truck up to his front door open the back and have a cascading river of large # bills flowing out and say, " Ozzie The World is Yours " ...and if that didn't work , well I'm back to page one and frankly my friend I'm to burned out by this organization to even give a damn..........
 
Honestly, I'm not a Gase fan because of his stubborness, but if he were to give up offensive play calling, bring in an experienced OC and just make coaching decisions, I would want to keep him. He seems like a good leader and manager but his play calling is just not meshing well with the current roster and sticking with the same ol is well, resulting in the same ol record.

Again, I think he is too stubborn to give it up so I wish him the best at his next team when Ross decides enough is enough.

As far as who that OC would be, I don't follow other OCs enough to suggest a good pick.

I believe in a one voice organization. I would love one of the Harbaughs. Let them pick a Gm that aligns with their vision. I’m not interested in hiring a first time HC or GM.

Nice thread brother! I just read that Gary Kubiak is thinking about coaching again.

The Harbaughs or Kubiak would be home run hires. Give them full control.

If that doesn’t happen I want a coach from the Andy Reid coaching tree. There’s been some tremendous coaches coming from that tree. Bob Sutton is probably too old but I’d be fine with Dave Toub.

Ross will never do any of this. It’ll be the same group next year. Because I’m telling you, the injuries are gonna be blamed and not the people in charge.

Oh I 100% believe this. I think Tannehill is gone though. Gase gets to draft a qb and if he’s not good immediately, everyone gets canned the following year.
 
I definitely don’t want Defilippo. He is a fraud like Gase bouncing between different teams.

I agree a 100% on one Experienced and somewhat proven GM that comes in and does all the picking. Not familiar with Harbaughs GM experience but as a head coach would put us miles ahead of what we call our so called head coach and would bring a increased level of anticipation unlike the dismal trying to learn on the job participant we have.
Thats why I mentioned Newsome, cause IMO and lack of actual quality insight as to a great GM see proven quality with Ravens and all he did through the years and it would be worth trying to pry him out of whatever life he's chosen.
If others as capable, would also be open....But no more experiments.

This is what I'd like to see for though largely disconnected still have a little hope of some day a real turn around but truthfully my expectations are almost gone....
Its like that Woody Allen saying that may brother thinks hes a chicken, then why not report him to a psychiatrist ????? Because I need the eggs.....
 
A question I keep asking: are you all going to give w/e combination of these more than 3 years before the pitchforks come out?

I doubt it.

We'll be having this same conversation naming new guys all over again. It's ridiculous.

This fanbase has got to admit to themselves how absolutely lunatic they are. We are all quick to admit how long of wrong we've been operating at and expect to have any reset button fix that in 3 years time.

Not to mention, whatever new regime you may have, whether it be the holy trinity- in the name of father owner, son GM, and the holy HC- will only be as good as the QB. What happens if they miss on one? 3 year pitchforks again? What. Is. The. Point... if that be the case?

I'd join this party if I wasn't absolutely certain there is nothing, NOTHING, another regime will be able to do without time this fanbase is not willing to give.

That's the only reason I'm giving Gase the run of his contract. Not because I'm an apologist. I wasn't even excited for the hire because at this point, with this organization, whats the point of getting excited? I merely grin and bear with every change.

When the next regime comes in, be ready to grin and bear and give them more than 3 years.
