Think long and hard because we have been on this train before. As of now you have Washington, Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota, Houston, and Tampa Bay are ALL looking for head coaches. If that's REALLY what you want then get ready for thinking the coach you want is going to sign here only to learn that he signed somewhere else and was only using Miami to drive up his value.

Wanny, Cameron, Saban, Sparano, we keep doing the same thing OVER and OVER again and getting the same results. Tell me how it's not nuts to want to do it all over again?
 
It's going to be closer to ten, I think.

Houston
Detroit
Minnesota
Tampa
Washington
Cleveland

Rumored:

Dennis Allen (Oakland)
Mike Munchak (Tennessee)
Jason Garrett (Dallas)

I've heard Mike Smith could be on the hot seat as well.

Now, you factor in Miami and that's eleven coaches who have been fired or about whom rumors are swirling.
 
Yes, because this coach and staff have shown they don't have the goods as evidenced by at least 6 losses they clearly could have won with better decisions and game planning.

The Dolphins have something that most teams on that list don't have, a QB.

Only the Skins and Lions would be more coveted from that standpoint. Dolphins also have a great location, owner with deep pockets and no state income tax. It will be an ideal place for many candidates.

Yes ... yes I do. Please.
 
No, let's stick with another year of incompetence. Remember how awesome it was when Sparano got an extra season and Wannstedt got an extra season?
 
While I am not in love with Philbin, I can live with him IF we fire Ireland and Sherman. We need a better play caller. PERIOD. We also need a GM who isn't going to continually waste picks. Philbin is never going to be Mr. Excitement, but we don't need a rah rah fist pumper like Sparano, just a smart guy who can manage things.

18 out of 32 NFL teams finished with a .500 record or below in 2013. You act as if firing Sparano and Wanny were moves that made the team better. Did they? How is it that we keep getting in situations where people think ANY coach would be better than the one we have, yet every time, they haven't been better.

Perhaps sometimes firing everybody and starting over ISN'T the answer. Look at Carolina, I live in Charlotte and can tell you with 100% certainty that the majority of Panther fans wanted Rivera fired as recently as the first half of THIS year. What a huge mistake that would have been.
 
Is our coach great at adjustments like Harbaugh in SF, Belichick in NE, or crafty like Pete Carroll in SEA or Payton in NO?

No? Then I don't want him.
 
I suspect that the Fins will need to get rid of Ireland first before any good coach would even consider coming to Miami.

So it would seem to be better to hire a new GM and let him make the HC decision.
 
If you fire the GM...and say hire Duke Tobin from Cincy to be the new GM then I think you have the inside track to Jay Gruden or Mike Zimmer.

This is exactly where I'm at. My theory is that because of Philbin's history with Sherman, he has too much respect and reverence for Sherman to disagree and over-rule him on the play calling. Treating him like a co-head coach instead of being his boss. If true, it is fair to say that this is Philbin's flaw. But I don't think firing him is the solution. Bring in a different OC that Philbin doesn't have a personal admiration for and lets move on.

Oh, and fire Jeff Ireland, that assclown has to go!

Just removing Sherman doesn't fix the problem of having a HC who is clueless enough to let his assistant coaches sabotage his season and his future. Coordinator changes have happened midseason. Play-calling duties have been reassigned mid-season. These things could have been rectified and other organizations have done them. We didn't.
