That's where I'd start.

Miami has a unique situation. A little like Tampa Bay when Jon Gruden replaced Tony Dungy years ago. The Dolphins have a good defense and a few pieces on offense.

I think a lot of coaches would actually like to come to Miami. I don't think it's time to roll the dice on a first time coach and the challenges, learning curve that comes with that.

I favor an offensive coach, but more so someone with proven success.

So here's a list of coaches who have won, or made it to the super bowl who could be available.

Doug Pederson
Mike Shanahan (about BB 's age)
Mike Marz
Jim Harbaugh
Dan Quinn
Tony Dungy

If it's an older coach, on a short-term deal, pair them up with a young coach on the rise.

What makes you think Shanahan, Martz or Dungy is ever going to coach again?

I thought you just said on another thread a minute ago, Jeff Fisher. Better hope to God he doesn't get hired.

I agree with the idea of getting a head coach with head coaching experience. My pick would be Pederson if I had a vote.

Aside from that, I just don't see the Tampa Bay analogy. Tampa Bay's defense was elite, Miami's is okay. It has flashed here and there, but it has been downright horrible at times as well. They ended up at #15 in the league.

Tampa Bay had a Super Bowl level defense and they brought Gruden in to get the offense to that level - even with Brad Johnson at QB. I don't think anyone looks at Miami and says they are set on defense to win a Super Bowl. In the secondary, sure. However, line play and LBs need to improve.

And the offense has so many holes, it is ridiculous. The RB position was forgotten. The best player was a late season acquisition of a cast off who was a Hurricanes great. The OL continues to be horrendous and Waddle was the only reliable and healthy WR.

Ross has shown he will open his wallet for free agents. Hopefully he decides to do that in order to bring in a proven coach for once. Sadly, I think it will be mostly $$$ that would bring a proven coach as the roster is meh for the most part after 3 years of a rebuild and the guy who brought in those players is still in charge.

The only retired guy I could possibly see coming back that has won a super bowl is Cowher.

Serious question, are HOF coaches allowed to come back? Being that you have to be retired for 5 years in order to be eligible, can an inducted coach/player re-enter the league?

He has been out of it for a while but, I would offer him a ton of money. I’m sure he would put together one hell of a staff

Martz might. He was coaching recently in another professional league. Can't think of what it was called. I don't think Martz would be a good fit with Tua unless he tweaked his offensive Phillips.

I don't see Dungy or Shanahan coming back.

That Miami's defense was 15th with an offense that was around 30th is pretty impressive.

I don't think the Dolphins defense is quite to that Tampa Bay level either, but Gruden also improved the offense to the point that it was respectable.

If Miami brought in an offensive coach, the defense could actually be better. That's kind of where I was going.

Again, just tired of rolling the dice on unproven coaches. I like Jim Caldwell if he wants to get back into coaching. Wouldn't be my first choice, but definitely a consideration.

Agreed! If our offense was better then it would take pressure off the defense and give the defense time to rest.
