Do we have a Interim Head Coach on this staff?

[LikeUntoGod]

Penalties are really 90% on the coaching staff.

Don Shula's teams tended to be last in the NFL in penalties. One big reason was how well Shula made his team's practice. In practice he had "refs" who would call the penalties they saw in practice and the player would be dealt with then.

Practice makes prefect.

A prefect or even very good practice will make for good game play.

And I think coaching comes from the top. The Head Coaches main job is to make sure his OC, DC and other assistants are coaching hard and coaching well. It seems like right now even the simple things like proper stretching is being missed, players are not practicing at a high level.

It is a shame that we do not have a "Jason Garrett" on our coaching staff or we could do like the Cowboys did last season. They fired a good defensive coordinator who was their Head Coach (W Phillips) and turned the job over to J Garrett. They then started winning football games.

Is there anyone right now on the Dolphins coaching staff that if they became the Head Coach interim, could semi turn thing around in Miami?

I'm not sure, but at this point a monkey on the sideline would be better than what we have now.

Nobody can turn around this disaster.

Interim coach would likely be Nolan.

Mike Nolan is the only guy that comes to mind.

Nolan or Todd Bowles IMO.

There are a few options but none that deserve to actually be considered for the job at seasons end. Mike Nolan is the obvious choice to take over, and I think he will be the guy. Other candidates would include Todd Bowles and Brian Daboll.

An interim coach never really turns a team around but they do give the team a boost and will likely win a few more games than if no change is made. For example, if Sparano remains coach, he might go something like 4-12. If you put Nolan in charge, that boost might take this team to 7-9.

I think Bowles would get the nod being the assistant HC. And honestly, the OCs and DCs that are named interim HCs are the ones that teams are actually considering for the gig.

I like to see dabbol get a chance at the job.

No we dont have an interim coach on staff...

 

[Dr. Phin]

Nolan. We need to have him this year...so they can find out he sucks too. Then we can get rid of him next year also. Fire everyone but the punting coach....

Why? Because of the outstanding play calling he has done in the red zone???

Just kidding

I'd rather give Daboll a shot before Nolan or Bowles. Our offense has been better this year than our defense. We cannot reward our defensive coaches with a promotion-they definitely do not deserve it.
