It seems like a new coach hire stirs the air in a positive direction for a franchise. I often see fans (specially in here) call these coaches failures in hindsight, but that wasn't the "league" perception at the time in which they took the jobs.
These candidates once look like shining knights looking to steal the heart of women, but they later turn into failures. McDaniel is no exception here. I fully understand that we fans seek a lot of validation, specially from the the Miami Dolphins, a franchise that has spent the last 2 decades looking like a shadow of what they were before. I don't need to post what has been recently said about McDaniel by everyone in the league since is still french in our minds, but I want to remind everyone that this isn't the first time that the air has been filled with the same optimism.


Blast in the Past

"Two things that stand out immediately when you meet Brian are his football intelligence and leadership skills," Dolphins GM Chris Grier said, per a press release from the team. "Brian is widely respected throughout the NFL. He paid his dues in New England working in personnel, on offense, defense and special teams, which helped him build a great understanding of what it takes to win.

"Gase has been talked about as head-coaching material since helping guide Peyton Manningand the Broncos to Super Bowl XLVIII. During his two seasons as Denver's coordinator from 2013 to 2014, the creative play-caller directed an attack that led the NFL in points, total yards and passing yards per game."

"Joe has all the attributes that we were looking for when we started this process," Dolphinsowner Stephen Ross said in a statement. "(General manager) Jeff Ireland and I felt Joe was the right choice to bring the Dolphins back to the success we enjoyed in the past."

Dolphin's General Manager Jeff Ireland seems confident that Sparano is the man for the job."We wanted someone who understood how to develop young players, one who could instill a culture that's all about winning. We think we found that guy. We know we found that guy."

"Good for Cam," Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer said. "I think he'll be a very fine, winning NFL coach. He has done a
terrific job for us, obviously. We're excited that he has been given this opportunity. I know that there's a lot of work for him
to do, but he'll measure up to the task."

This just in...31 one NFL teams end their season with dissappointment each year. None have decided to fold up and quit the league.

Coaches are hired to be fired. The majority will never lead their team to a championship. The teams don't decide to go coachless since the previous hires did not work.

Spoken like the true pessimist that you seem to be
 
It's true because the quotes prove it and history confirms it :bang: ... but what else are you going to say when you just turned the franchise upside down (again) and spent millions of dollars on the replacements? :shrug: .....:dead:??... šŸ˜­??

Here's to the hope they got it right and the next set of quotes actually match the futures history.:cheers:

No, it's just the true reality. All this BS about how smart and innovative these guys are. Leaders who can develop blah blah blah. Sure, McDaniel is smart. Lot's of smart guys in the league. I'm hopeful, but will reserve judgment until I see it on the field.
 
This 3-4 year cycle though is rough.
While this build is still in progress, hopefully we can start to see signs of a keeper for a longer term.
Another good thing about Fangio, if we can lure him in- he's older, and got his shot as a HC. He may be no longer in people's searches, so he can hang with us here(Hopefully) for a while.
 
Nope, just not falling for it again

Same. Been down this road too many times ... for 20 ****ing years. I love the hire but last I checked Ross was still the owner and Grier the GM. Am I supposed to just automatically believe a first time head coach will overcome the gauntlet of stupidity surrounding him?

I think it's just easier to get on board and forget about literally everything from the past 2 decades. Do something. Prove it. Then you've got my attention.

What is the point here besides just being negative?
