Barry Jackson Gives a Critical Look at the Coaching Staff

J. David Wannyheimer said:
This is why I desperately wanted Gary Kubiak to be the new Dolphins OC. Bill Lazor is someone who looks good on paper and he has some very strong endorsements from some very, very, very good coaches, but we simply can't afford for him to be bad or even marginal as a coordinator.

There was little chance of Kubiak getting the job. But given the fact that Ryan Tannehill is our starting QB, we desperately need someone to coach him up, which Lazor can do.
 
All I need to know is that when the Dolphins had 2 weeks to prepare for the Bills, they lost.
They had 11 days to prepare for a 0-8 Bucs team, they lost.
Win 1 out of your last 2 against inferior opponents, make the playoffs, they lost both.
The guy gets the benefit of the doubt the first year with a rookie QB but this year showed who he is really is. Poor motivator, poor preparation. And if he needs help to write postgame index cards and what to say to the media, then this guy isn't head coach material.
All I know is, Don Shula never needed anyone's help to speak to his team. And his teams were always prepared and motivated. Maybe not as talented at times, but you can't fault the effort.
If you like 8-8, get used to it because that's what you're going to get if Philbin is the coach.
 
I stopped reading the Miami Herald once I realized that rag was the problem where all the negative national press was originating. I've seen the same thing happen with the Boston Globe. Where the reporters act on their own personal vendettas before reporting the real news.
 
So much is being made of the last two games -and it's only natural. But there were perfectly sound football reasons for what happened. It's not for nothing FO picked both games as their upset special of the week. The Dolphins were never that good, nor the Jets or Bills that bad.

After all the overanalyzing is done, give me a better OL with this very same team and the results will be strikingly different. Yes, even with Sherman in there.

I think it's less about coaching Ryan Tannehill and more about designing and calling an offense in which Ryan Tannehill can be productive.

But whatever.

To finish the season 5-0 or even 4-1 would have been a huge accomplishment so the way I see it is I give the team and coaching staff credit for getting us in position to pull it off but they came up short so (as Philbin would say) it was a "competitive effort" and at the end of the day you shouldn't feel good or bad, you should feel meh.

I am excited that we got through this with Philbin, Tannehill and Coyle still firmly in place while purging ourselves of Ireland and Sherman though. We were never winning it all with either of those guys and while its still too soon to say what Philbin or Tannehill are made of I think we're in for a fun ride next season at the very least.
 
I think Lazor was a good pick up, but he should be allowed to have some assistants he might on staff to put his **** in. That seems fair.
 
Does anyone in this thread honestly believe Philbin could lead a team to a Super Bowl championship?

Would love to see our team, at some point, have better talent on the field and see what happens whoever the coach is. Let me play devils advocate would you have thought years ago that Pete Caroll would?
 
Miami has better talent than a lot of people think. They're just led, for the most part, by incompetent coaches and they have been for years....

And notice the players who are putting the blame on coaches.

I wonder which players he is talking about?

condition of anonymity. ah yes. but what we need to do here is get to who is at fault here right? right! Joe! Your next up Joe! And Dawn wont be around to save your ass this time Joe!

what comes round, goes round. Particularly if your the Miami Dolphins.

I am sure you are saying all this because your boy got fired.

Yes but keep in mind they already have Zach Taylor as QB Coach... even though he doesn't know a damn thing about it.

Yes. If he had good coordinators, if the new GM can fix the OL and bring in a quality starting RB, and if Ryan Tannehill can improve.

I'm not particularly optimistic about the 2014 Dolphins season, but there were three really, really glaring problem areas (IMO) that hurt them team the most:

1. Mike Sherman
2. The OL
3. The GM's inability to fix that OL

Depending on how good Bill Lazor and our new GM turn out to be, it's entirely possible that we can address the three biggest problems (IMO) our team had in 2013 in just one offseason.

I'm very skeptical of Lazor and I don't think we will hire the one GM I'd be very excited about (Brian Xanders).

I don't think Joe Philbin will be the Miami Dolphins head coach in 2015.
