Bill Cowher is the only logical choice

[hightempo]

If we're so dumb as to fire our coach because the players are ****ing up....I hope they aren't dumb enough to hire a guy like Cowher or Gruden...keep in mind, no coach that has won a super bowl with one franchise has ever done it with a second...and there's a reason for that, alot of these guys lose the fire and the drive, especially when they get huge multi million dollar deals...

I say we keep Sparano, but if we are stupid enough to go for another coach, we get a qualified young and hungry coach

yeah that makes alot of sense!! ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE AS SAYING NO COACH EVER WON A SUPER BOWL PRIOR TO SUPER BOWL 1 so therefore they cant win one. make sense please. this arbitrary dumb *** logic its just incredible

So you are happy with Sparano?

.

Yea, I am actually, our offense playcalling was a problem last year...and it's been fixed; players have to execute period.

All a coach can do is put these players in position to win the game, the players have to do it.

I am a huge believer in continuity in an organization, and see that teams that suck tend to continually churn through regimes and run in place. I think we are improving under Sparano. The biggest problem I see is the players

We need to go with whoever gives us the best chance to win. We start winning 11-12 games a season, Ross will have no problem filling the seats.

Best way to win is to land and coach up a franchise quarterback. We are well on our way to having the draft position to do so, now we need someone who could get results. Rob Chudzinksi's name really needs to start heating up. I have no idea what sort of coach he is, but i do know that he has had alot of success fixing quarterbacks. He did, afterall, make Derek Anderson look good.

Unfortunately, Ross will go after the big name, the big buzz guy. He will throw everything at Cowher and try and land him.

And the never ending argument against Gruden, how he won with Tony Dungy's team? Id find that alot more compelling if he hadn't beaten the team that he helped build and coach up in Oakland. He got it done when Dungy couldnt. Id be really interested to see what he could do with a franchise quarterback. And it didn't help that his first 2 offseasons with the team he didnt have first or second round picks.
Regardless, Cowher is probably the coach we try and grab at all costs.

Does anyone have stats to point out how coaches do with new teams after they won a Super Bowl with a previous team? My point is, if a coach won a SB already, how hungry are they to get to another one? It's a fire / intensity thing I think, and will that coach have it..

 

[phinman1]

No. We have gone down the route of "savior" too many times. He has been out of the game a while, and would only come back for the money. That isn't the right motiviation.

I want a young guy the players can really relate too. Would rather have a guy in the mold of Tomlin.

0 coaches have won Superbowls with two different teams.

That number includes Don Shula.

i said "keep in mind, no coach that has won a super bowl with one franchise, has ever done it with a second"

It is a FACT.

And there is logic behind it...it's people like you that get people like Cowher hired, by dumb owners because you want a "NAME". Well I'll let you in on a secret, if we hire Cowher, or Gruden or any of those idiots we're going to be taking 10 steps back.

Not to mention Cowher is overrated. The guy benefited from the Steelers "organization" because they believe in CONTINUITY. He was there for years even after having a couple disappointing seasons. If he did that here you guys would be calling for his head right away. Because you have no foresight, or perspective on what it takes to be SUCCESSFUL in the NFL.

It's a tricky situation. A big name guy might not always be right. I'll say this Gruden, Cowher, and Fisher have all gone through rebuilding projects and are good coaches. The Tampa situation was tricky. Gruden went all in for one more season and they missed the playoffs. Plus, they were in cap hell in needed to rebuild. Cowher wanted to be with his family for various reasons. And Fisher was just part of a toxic situation with Vince Young.

If one of them is the answer fine, but I'd like to see a legit interview process and see the right coach get hired. Hire somebody with a proven track record in developing players. Whether that's a defensive guy like Rob Ryan or an offensive guy like Bill Musgrave I don't care. Hell, take a risk on somebody like Dennis Allen, Chuck Pagano, Joe Philbin, or somebody.

I just wanna win get me whoever will get us the wins.

Tony Sparano's time in Miami might be down to just days now. He will not be fired this week, and the Miami Herald already has reported this to be the situation. However, after next Sunday against the San Diego Chargers the axe could fall heading into a bye week. Of course if the Dolphins pull off an upset win against the Chargers it will buy Sparano a few more weeks. Either way, at this very moment Meadow is trying to parallel park her car.

I have been thinking lately who would be the best possible fit for this franchise moving forward. Should we go after another star coach to turn things around after the recent failures of other star coaches like Jimmy Johnson, Nick Saban and Bill Parcells? Or should they go the route of bringing in a first time head coach after the recent failure of Cam Cameron?

This team is in a rut and the fans are no longer going to the games. Ross needs to create buzz, get fans back in their seats, and most importantly win games. To do this, in addition to Sparano, Ireland will need to also be relieved of his duties. Though at this very moment, that doesn't appear to be a guarantee.

Unknown guys like Winston Moss, Bill Musgrave and Rob Ryan may turn out to be good NFL head coaches, but not guys that will win the fans back. They are unproven at the head coach level and have the potential to flame out just like Cam Cameron did. Or maybe they make it big like Mike Smith. Though Ross needs to get butts back in the seat right away and needs to win out of the gate. To much of a risk for Ross to go this route.

I think he is going to go the route of a big name coach. He looked at Jim Harbaugh last year as he was the "sexy" name at the current time, before deciding to give Sparano another year. There will be three "big name" guys in my opinion, and has been mentioned here many many times as options. Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden, and Jeff Fisher. These are the "Big 3" and I think this is the bunch of coaches Ross will take a stab at. Each will bring their own type of buzz and will bring a background of winning a Super Bowl or coming within inches of winning a Super Bowl. In my opinion, one guy stands out above the rest and you know who I think by reading this threads title, but first lets look at why I don't think the other two are as good of choices.

Jon Gruden, or as many call him "Chucky" is already well known in Florida, and would bring the reputation of a Super Bowl winner and a guy who likes to take chances. However, the only Super Bowl he won was with Tampa Bay and was with the players that were assembled the year before by Tony Dungy. So obviously a red flag immediately goes up. Also, he has only 6 winning seasons in 11 years as a NFL head coach. So almost half the time he had a losing record. He also has the reputation of not being able to develop a quarterback and their were many reports that indicated that his players hated him and did not respect him. Gruden would create a buzz in Miami and I predict that Dolphins Chucky dolls would be huge sellers, but I don't know if he is really what this team needs from a Charlie Sheen "winning" standpoint.

Jeff Fisher was fired at an odd time last offseason and you can bet that if he was fired a few weeks earlier that Ross would have sniffed around him. He was the head coach of the Oilers/Titans for 17 years and regularly had the team in the playoff hunt. However, his playoff appearances were even worse than Gruden only making the playoffs 6 times in 17 seasons. He did come inches away from a possible Super Bowl win and took the Titans to another AFC Championship game. Again, he would create buzz, probably less than Gruden would imo, but again I don't see him as the answer for turning this team around.

So now we get to Bill Cowher, the guy I am supporting as the next head coach of the Dolphins. In 15 years with the Steelers he had 11 winning seasons, in 15 seasons. He also has been to 6 AFC Championship games, 2 Super Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl win. There are obvious concerns about him though. It did take him 14 years to win a Super Bowl in Pittsburgh, so you have to wonder if Ross and Dolphins fans would be as patient with him as Western PA football fans were. He also hasn't coached in the league for five seasons, and I hate to say this, but is his passion for football there as much after the passing of his wife? I know that would be very hard for me and I can only imagine what he is going through. Cowher would create buzz and I think his history in Pittsburgh does speak volume and if he can be fresh even five years away from the game, he is the guy for Miami. Not only in the buzz department but also in the winning department.

I hope Ross decides to go the route of Bill Cowher, because I believe if they clean house Bill would be very interested in coming here assuming the Giants job does not open up in New York. He is the guy I want as the 10th head coach of the Miami Dolphins(assuming that Mike Nolan will be #9).

Nubs I have disagreed with almost every post of yours the last couple of weeks with regards to our coach/front office. With that being said I agree 100% with every word of your post. Cowher is my choice to turn it around. I much prefer to agree with you, as you are one of a handful of posters I have great respect for.

You do realize when he played the raiders in the SB he knew thier players/offense defensive strengths and weakness. He didn't do squat outside of that year with a team Dungy built. Say NOOO to chucky
