How much pressure will be on new coach to win now?

[opticblazed]

Are we giving the new coach 3 years to win again? We are a 9 win team now. Will it be considered a disaster if we dont have double digit wins next year or is this going to be another tear down and rebuild again? Dont know if i can stand another 3 years of rebuild to then fire the coach. Heard the great bill parcels say that flo was a great coach and was surprised by the firing. He isnt alone in that srntiment

With this roster, i don't think they'll give 3 years to get it right. Maybe 2?

Edit: Still think the bumper in the road is the OL.

The team can win now if the right coach is hired.

Parcells is taking the media talking points here.

 

[Sleepy]

You wonder if he's a first time coach he gets more leniency compared to a coach who already has experience.

Based on whether Grier is effective in bringing in quality talent in free agency to upgrade the offense and in the draft, I think the new HC will be expected to take the Dolphins to the playoffs next season.

Unlike most coaches who take over a team after the previous head coach was fired because the team was losing. I think whoever takes the Dolphin job will be under more pressure to win immediately than any other coach hired this off season.

I think 3 years (not that it will take that long, but I think the coach will get that)

2022 Draft/FA and evaluation of what we have.

2023 Draft/FA to get his QB if things dont work out with Tua

2024 Playoffs or bust.

Of course, if it is Harbaugh, Ross will never fire him, maybe Beal would if he takes over the team by then.

Ross personally said in his presser that Grier gave the personnel and Flores didn't get it done. He said the roster is built. So yeah, I expect Ross wants to win now.

 

[DANTODUPER]

The reason Ross fired Flores and reatined Grier is because he thinks the team has the talent. He told it on his press conference. So yes, the new coach will come with high expectations. I think Ross expects a playoff berth as of next year. Of course if the offense improves a lot, that should be enough to get 2 more years of trust.

 

[Gsmack_42]

Well if you think a tear down is 5 to 6 new starters on offense then yes they will tear it down.

 

[PASQUALE]

The next Head Coach will get 4 year deal. But, like Ross said we have a talented young roster and he feels we are almost there. So the next coach need to put us in the playoffs next year. Simple as that.

I don't expect instantly going out and looking incredible whoever the new coach is. However this team has the talent and if we resign, sign, and draft well we should be pretty good team.

 

[finmann]

Given the fact that each coach has their own philosophy, and the Dolphins like to change coaches every 3 years or so...three years is about right.

 

[KingHydra]

This isn't a rebuild team. With our cap and draft capital, if you can't win now, you ain't it.

 

[gofins60]

This team is all set up for a new HC with a capable staff to come in and start winning after adding a few players on offense. All he'll need to do is to get Grier to add some competent veterans on the o-line (sometimes miracles do happen!), add one or two WRs (who aren't always injured), and get one decent RB#1. They'll have money under the cap to sign some Free Agents and the draft to get this done. Refusing to get experienced veterans for the o-line and a strong RB#1 is why they failed to make the playoffs in 2021. Just those two fixes alone would have given them a better offense that could sustain drives, give Tua time to throw downfield, and score more points.

IMO, it wouldn't take much for a new guy who knows what he's doing to turn the Fins into a playoff team. I think that the biggest question would be Tua. Given a good line and running game, will he prove to be a consistent winner, or just an average Game Manager? Either way, fix the o-line, add another WR and RB and they can still be a playoff team.

I really don't agree. We clearly have a mountain of young talent, a ridiculous amount of cap spending room and solid draft picks.
This is not a 8-9 team next year with the right coach.
With the right coach, this is a 12-5 team.
