You would think that coaching our Dolphins would be a great job. Was listening to ESPN radio and they did an entire segment on "Which coaching job would you take".
They had a bunch of different guys on, some X-HCs, some from Sports media and a GM.
No one even mentioned our team.

*Most picked Denver. As they think that team has a great culture built in and is ready to win now if you can get a QB.
*Second was Jaguars due to Lawrence, and great draft picks.
*Third was the Giants due the owners dedication and proven success (4 Superbowls).

Honestly, I was shocked that we really weren't even discussed. It's like we are invisible or something.

My thoughts on why our HC opening is great.
*Number 1 in cap to spend
*Defense is good to go once we sign Ogbah.
*Solid draft picks. Bears don't even have a first rounder.
*Very young, talented team.
*Miami, is an amazing city to live in!

Your thoughts?

Denver really is just qb away and giants are a respected franchise but have a long way to go. Denver and Miami are the best jobs available imo
 
Agree with your points on the Miami job.

”Just get a QB” in Denver? As if that’s easy. They haven’t been able to find one since they got lucky convincing Manning to finish up there.

Jacksonville is decently attractive, but Miami has a much shorter distance to travel.

The Giants roster is horrendous.

I agree with all your points.
 
Why would it surprise anyone that Miami is now a bottom tier landing spot as a head coach? Seriously people. This is working for Ross and arguably the most dysfunctional organization and franchise in the entire NFL.
 
We have a roster that only narrowly missed the playoffs and that is with quite a few injuries. Most of our major players are under contract next season. I think Gesicki and Ogbah are the only starters that are free agents. We have a ton of cap space, the most in the league, so the opportunity is there to go get whatever players a coach feels is necessary. We have the normal amout of draft picks, no great amount has been traded away. It seems as though, based on reports, that we have a GM that gives a coach alot of say in player acquisition, so you would get a real voice in the draft and free agency. Great weather. No state income tax (that can attract players too). Passionate fanbase. An owner that is willing to spend. If Tua is not your guy, you have two first rounders to go "up" to get someone next season.
 
I think that's always an overblown point. There's only 32 head coach positions and it's in South Florida. The roster was 1 game from the playoffs. There's plenty of draft picks and cap space. Tua is a young QB that can be developed. I'm not a fan of Ross, but they'll have plenty of candidates to choose from.
 
I think it's a great spot. I guess a lot depends on how a potential coach views Tua and Miami's management.

There are some exciting pieces and, really, I think the division is in flux. With a strong offseason, the Dolphins could contend.
 
Truthfully I don't see why people think we have dysfunction beyond pure personal hatred of Grier and Ross. Flores was an ass.

Onto HC spots- I think we're better than any other. Good Defense built, young players, talent is there offensively- obviously need coaching to bring it out. We have, unbiased evalution, an unproven yet promising in areas Quarterback. Most Cap space to bring in Offensive tools, decent draft capital this year. Should Tua not work, plenty of ability to get whoever in 2023.

Pundits are just dumb imo

Why its not good.

Grier as the GM is on the hot seat, if we fail next year hes gone so if your tied to Grier in this way, your prob gone after one year.

Our Owner.... enough said.

Question marks around Tua.

Worst oline in the history of the NFL


Prob more reason I rattled those off in 30 seconds.

Grier's hot seat works in your favor. Ross doesn't fire both. You can stay on with a new guy and almost start over. Our owner 8s willing to spend money and is absentee, so out of the way alot. You can tell the owner you want a year to evaluate Tua. If he flops, you have two firsts next year.
