[h=3]2) Miami Dolphins going big-name hunting at head coach.[/h]The Miami Dolphins will not make the playoffs this season. I'm not exactly going out on a limb with that prediction -- none of our 11 analysts project a postseason bid for the 'Fins. And when this ultimately happens, Joe Philbin will become ex-coach of the Miami Dolphins. Frankly, after last season's bullying scandal -- which, as colleague Judy Battista wrote at the time, did not reflect well on the Dolphins' head coach -- and the way Miami choked away a spot in the playoffs, I'm surprised Philbin is still coaching this team right now.
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross craves the big name. So far, he has swung and missed on Jim Harbaughand Jeff Fisher. Whether it is the hot college name (Kevin Sumlin? Bob Stoops? David Shaw?), the former NFL coach with a big-time pedigree or Harbaugh again, Ross and the Dolphins will be linked to the names that create a splash next offseason.
