I want to say how sorry I am for littering this board with a bunch of doom & gloom postings in various threads. No more of any of that "Chicken Little" BS. Not saying I'm going to be a full fledged homer but I am absolutely going to be half glass full/ optimistic moving forward on here (after all life sucks if you always have a negative outlook on things. Its also not good for your health either)

After watching Coach McDaniel's moving & inspiring press conference I'm ready to run thru a brick wall for him haha. But seriously, on top of him being so wise beyond his years and so well respected by his peers & players, I gotta say I owe Stephen Ross an apology with a number of my most recent posts. The more I read up on Flores' lawsuits the more I think him and his lawyer(s) are full of crap and see why Ross fired him and hired Mike McDaniel as our new head coach) .

I've never done such a 180 on our beloved Miami Dolphins ever like this before. Didn't think for a second that McDaniel was even a realistic option and had to do a double take when I read the headline that he was named our new head coach. We also have a TON of cap space. So I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this potentially awesome off season.

GO FINS!!!!:cheers:

Opinions of Mike McDaniel as Head Coach

I was on board with Mike McDaniel as HC as soon as his name got mentioned as a candidate to replace Flores. I did a lot of research on him and was very impressed the more I read and heard. Some of you I know also felt the same way but reading the forum since he has has done a few interviews and...

I’m glad you apologized because I was just about to have you banned
We’re good now
 
How can anyone not be positive about this coach? Who knows what happens once the games start, but right now! It’s nothing but good vibes.

Watched an interview where the question was Kiss, Marry, Kill and the choices were Kyle S., McVay, and Lafleur. Coach Mac laughed and gave a thoughtful funny answer.

How does that question play out with our past coaches?

Flores: Mean stare followed by silence.
Gase: “Are those tacos flying around your head”
Phibin: Wanders off to clean and organize interviewer’s set
Sparano: “Marry whoever is the best lkicker and kill the other two.”
Cameron: “Why can’t I just marry all three?” as he wipes a tear from his eye.


Real recognizes real. That’s why his former players love him and that’s why when the ball is snapped the other team is going to feel the intensity.

You need to be really entrenched in your negative narrative to not be impressed or at least hopeful regarding MM's applied intelligence and well thought out ideas. Ditto not to understand how corrosive and Toxic Flo™ became behind the scenes.
 
That's nice and all, really, but being positive when you see something you like is easy, the true test of being positive (or at least detached) is when you don't see anything you like.

Mike McDaniels is already changing things, and people. He is in a unique position to cause change in the nfl coaching genre and the mad proffessor now has his own labratory to work and experament in. We havnt seen a coach come along in decades in the nfl thats not only so polarizing with his personality but also his football intelligence and fresh innovation and i believe we have only sniffed the cork on coach mike's skilks, ideas and communication. Cult of personality times pop culture is a winning combination. He is the ANTI lyin' brian!! And this team needs that in the worst aay. The fans need it.

Will he be on the nfl mount rushmore after his career is over? We'll see. But..., will WE listen? He has the coaching chops for sure, and mad social skills and he doesn't have to grab facemasks, yell, insult or threaten to make this happen. Even winning coaches who bully their way around run thin and quickly. Mike McDaniels ATTRACTS PEOPLE, polarizes ideas, he doesn't repulse them, alienate himself or those he teaches. He thrives on solving the puzzle of adversity not only on the field but in life.

I just hope the dolphins fans, players and coaches and the nfl appreciate what has fallen into our laps. After the years of post don shula misery we have only had a couple of bright flickers that snuffed out to quickly. Lets grow with McD, go the journey with him so years from now when showing our grandkids the dolphins superbowl winning trophies we can say "hey, i was there, from day one. And what a ride!!!

Reality is that some people will always find a reason to be negative. The most common and IMO, ridiculous reason is generally some version of, "it failed in the past and therefore will fail again". It's generally based on some simplistic reasoning making one person the fall guy, usually Grier or Ross. Or some simplistic logic like, "he's a first time HC" or something to do with appearance or speaking ability.
 
I hope in the years to come we look back upon this hire as the moment that Steve Ross actually made his first outstanding decision. He brought in brains, experiance, class and a fresh outlook. He also brings answers to riddles that have plagued the Dolphins for years such as how to once and for all assemble and coach up an oline. He is an expert on taking a sagging run game and turning it around so that it's a force instead of a failure. He will be the best friend Tua ever had. He will give Tua the support and have his back, unlike the disloyal cretin that Flores turned out to be. Our entire offense will get a badly needed shot of Shanahan magic! Tua will be a different guy under McD. Tua was born to play for this coach in this offense. We'll go far with McD!!!!! Early prediction: Duke Johnson will be in the Pro Bowl next season!
