We need to forget about former great HOF players that have never been in this role before. Dan may be part the of the front office but he already passed on being a candidate for the role years ago. Peyton is a TV guy now. These are the names we're talking about?
It had a lot more to do with their oc frank reich then peterson. Overrated coach imo.
Who hired Reich? Peterson?
I have no clue. I just know you can scratch Marino and Manning off the list. I know I don't want anyone from the Patriots tree. That team was allowed to operate mostly because of the greatness of Brady. That's pretty obvious now. And by the way, I was wrong before when I said former great players don't make good GMs. Ozzie Newsom obviously was a great GM.
I disagree. We do have draft capitol with three 1st rounders in the next two years. Despite the horrible start, there are some good young players. Dolphins also have a ton of cap space next offseason. There should be a lot more good players, though. 2019 1st round (along with failed free agency) is dragging this team down.
I think it likely depends on how San Fran looks. If that first rounder next year is a middle tier pick and SF looks poised to be back on track the following year, having one extra 1st isn’t gonna be enough to polish this turd.
I don't think there's a precedent for a generational, iconic coach to leave a functional team to go pick up the pieces at a complete circus... So I don't think either are likely or realistic.
