Coaching Rumors: Harbaugh & Rex in play for Ross if Philbin is canned

[SkapePhin]

These were from earlier this week, but worth bringing up now with the results of today's game. Didn't see discussion on the Rex rumor, so here it is:

On Rex

The Bears and their anemic defense could be a good fit, but keep an eye on the Dolphins as a potential suitor for Ryan if Miami misses the playoffs. Sources told The News that owner Stephen Ross has an affinity for Ryan. If Jim Harbaugh remains in Northern California, as expected, then Ryan could become a viable option in South Beach.

Do we really need more evidence that Ross is an undercover Jets fanboy?

On Harbaugh

From a JLC article who has an atrocious track record on Dolphins news, so take it for what's its worth:

Despite the Dolphins' 7-5 record, team owner Steve Ross remains one of Harbaugh's biggest supporters. Ross tried to hire him in the past, he is desperate for a face-of-the-franchise to attract fan support, and he could end up being Davis's primary competition for Harbaugh. Davis's desire for Harbaugh cannot be understated, sources said, with him, too, in a stadium quandary and desperate for a coach he can sell and try to add value to his franchise as he seeks a move to Los Angeles.

We won't get Harbaugh. Ross will strike out again trying to lure the best candidate. It's what he does. Either that or he'll moronically keep Philbin.

JOE HAS TO GO...

I would love Art Briles of Baylor or Gus Malzahn of Auburn.

 

[Dr. Phin]

Malzahn would be fine with me...

 

[Hayden Fox]

I would do cartwheels for Rex. Cartwheels.

I said it and do not give a **** what people have to say about it. He is a perfect remedy for what this stiff has done as HC.

 

[mahmacoat]

whatever Ross' choice is, I will totally ****ing reserve my judgement

 

[Yessir]

watch us end up with like Mike Singletary

 

[Hayden Fox]

Malzahn would be fine with me...

Dream candidate.

 

[NYNCDOLFAN]

Lazor has to remain OC you can't expect Tannehill to learn another offense

 

[Hayden Fox]

Put Rex in the HC chair. The defense would be fixed and he'd keep Lazor as OC I bet.

In the end, Joe will come back.

I facepalmed the Hickey hire so who am I to say. Fatty Arbuckle and Lazor could totally work

Who says he'll be the quarterback? New coach is going to get his guy.

 

[joeharley666]

Does Ross even know who Malzahn is?

 

[Austin Tatious]

Rex Ryan has no understanding whatsoever of offensive football in general and the quarterback position in particular. Ross damn well better do better than that.

 

[SkapePhin]

Who says he'll be the quarterback? New coach is going to get his guy.

Then there is no way you want Rex here because he is a train wreck when it comes to selecting and developing QBs. Rex will only work as a HC if he has a competent vet QB.
