wales and will die a prou
In 16 years we have had 8 Head Coaches (2 interim), all having different views/philosophies on how to take the franchise forward. West Coast Offense, Power football, 4-3, 3-4 etc. When you hire one and it fails, the usual process is to go for the complete opposite, resulting in a 'rebuilding' process, where the HC waits to bring in his own ideas, staff and players. This 'rebuilding' process results in a high turnover, of both staff and players, consequently taking time to 'turn around'.


This whole process starts with the GM, who hires the HC, HC hires the co-ordinators, who in turn decides the type of players required.


I want to turn this on its head.


I want to start with the players, then hire the HC and coaches, then finally the GM.


Players


Identify what suits our current roster. For example. Ryan Tannehill is the future of this offense. He is best suited to a WCO.


The future of our D is primarily Dion Jordan, with Jared Odrick whom I like a lot. IMO they are both best suited to a 3-4 D.


Coaches


Hire a an excellent WCO or 3-4 D co-ordinator as HC and allow him to call plays and devolop his side of the ball, be it staff or player type (Sean Payton, Mike McCarthy, Rex Ryan, Bill Belicheck etc).


Hire an alternative co-ordinator and allow his to devolp his side of the ball, again be it staff or player type.


Ideally I would love my HC to be Ray Horton & OC, Gary Kubiak, but each to their own.


GM


Now hire the GM who is best suited to drafting the players these coaches require. This GM now becomes the head of the franchise, implementing and overseeing this philosophy for year to come.


We now have a philosophy and base to build this franchise on. From this, every GM, HC, Co-ordinator or member of staff hired, fits into this long term system. We never ever go for the complete opposite. In time, we would have a promotional system, where Co-ordinators, become HC, assistants to co-ordinators and so on. I would even expand on this and bring in former players, i.e. Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas, Chad Pennington, who have a loyalty and identity with the fins, with the intention of devoloping them in this coaching tree/system.


We build through draft by selecting players who fit into a WCO and 3-4 D, without the need for overpriced Free Agents. We never have to 're-build' or wait for 'system to be implemented', 'allow players time to adapt' or 'put square pegs in round holes'.


Stephen Ross has the oppurtunity to implement this 2014.
 
the sad thing is they get paid to royally funk things up. i totally agree with this. Its so easy... why don't these guys realize this??

It's obviously a lot more complex than this, but at the same time, I do think a lot of these guys miss the forest for the trees.
 
If you're trying to pull something like this off with the least amount of turnover possible, you have to stick with Ryan Tannehill and implement a Kubiak-style offense in my opinion, which emphasizes a strong running game as a foundational element on offense, and works in the pass primarily off of play-action and bootlegs. These features would suit Tannehill's strengths in my opinion, while compensating for his weaknesses.

Right now Tannehill is a square peg in a round hole in a WCO. He's so busy making his timing reads that he loses any semblance of awareness of the pass rush. He needs a strong running game and a passing game that happens much of the time outside the pocket and on the move, which suits his strengths.

Kubiak does run a WCO, all be it a more run orientated one, but still WC based
 
I want a offense system that can run for 4.5 yards per carry and average 300 passing yards per game...and score 30+ points doing it.
On defense, I want our run defense to average 70 yards per game, and our pass defense to average 170 yards per game.
Simple...isn't it,

Sounds good to me. Let Philbin know so he can implement it.:lol:
 
I would love the idea of other franchise copying our own model. Can you imagine one day hearing the words, 'teams are now trying to copy the Miami dolphins model for success'.
 
I agree that having the least amount of turnover on the roster is the quickest way back to relevancy, and I've said something similar before. But, IMO using the West Coast Offense is NOT the way to go. This offense under Philbin/Sherman started the season better than the previous regime's offense in just one category; scoring TDs over FGs in the red zone, and the ONLY reason for this is the addition of players like Gibson who are potentially red zone threats. Now, the entire offense struggles just to get to the red zone and they are settling for FGs more and more. The o-line is worse under Philbin/Sherman, and the running game that once was decent last year has regressed, no, disappeared, under these coaches.

The overall play of the team has regressed so much from last year to this year even with added talent, that there is no possible way that this coaching staff should get any more time. Don't blame injuries, every team gets injuries; blame Ireland for a lack of talent/depth and blame the coaches for not making better use of the roster. The quickest way to fix this team is to bring in a new GM and coaching staff.

I agree with everything bar the WCO. RT has been schooled in this so why change. Let's get the best out if what we have. Next years drat is high in O'lineman. Draft 3/4, draft another RB and TE and allow him to grow in an offense he is comfortable with.
 
I think there is a Bible saying that says, "You cannot build a house on a weak foundation of sand." This has been the main problem with this team since the end of the Shula/Marino era around the year 2000. There is no foundation.

Ross either needs to sell the team, or blow it up and install a new V.P. of Football Operations and GM. They can then rebuild this team from scratch. I would clean house all the way down to the locker room attendants if necessary. Fumigate the place and start over. :up:
 
On offense, you need to build around Tannehill, Miller, Clay, R Matthews, Hartline, Wallace, Sims, & Egnew. Plus, Pray Gibson & Keller comeback. As for a philosophy/scheme, I like the one Joe Gibbs used in his 1st tenure w/ the Redskins.

I hate smashmouth physical style 3-4 run in Western PA. The version Marty S ran w/ The Chiefs was good. It was predicated on speed and bending but not breaking. The keepers on Defense are; Grimes, Soliai, Odrick, Ellerbe Jordan, Misi, and perhaps Jamar Taylor and Will Davis. It'd be nice to see them getting playing time to know for sure

Dion Jordan, however, is ideally suited for a 4-3. He reminds me of JPP and JT. That said, I'd keep a fast aggressive 4-3 like the Eagles ran with Jimmie Johnson and the Bengals currently run.
