The Miami Dolphins cleaned house.

Sort of.
After a 6-10 season, their original head coach, offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator are gone.
But they did bring back nine coaches from that failed season — including Lou Anarumo and Darren Rizzi, who were Dan Campbell’s top assistants after Joe Philbin’s firing.
Why?
Dolphins football czar Mike Tannenbaum, following the first day of Senior Bowl practice here Tuesday, explained, saying new coach Adam Gase and general manager Chris Grier were in on the decision.
“The coaching staff in particular reports to Adam and certainly Chris and I made some suggestions, but they [all] went through and were vetted through a pretty rigorous process. They wouldn’t be on our staff if Adam didn’t feel good about them.”
Tannenbaum said retaining nine coaches “was the right decision, not the easy one.”
Added Grier: “They’re good coaches and good people and obviously Adam did his background on them and stuff and feels comfortable with them. It’s good to have a little bit of continuity. They’ll help them in the transition.”

We kept 9 of that bum ass staff? The worst in the league even

Wow...unreal
 
This is a train wreck in the making

You can't have three people making all the decisions

EVERY OTHER NFL team has a Head Coach and a GM making those decisions.

The VP has his hands in everything and ultimately he has the power to fire the GM and Head Coach.
 
Mike Tannebaum is god just ask Hayden, he has the it factor lol

What did lou ano whatever his name is do as a db coach exactly? Hell he rolled with bobby mccain on the freaking boundary even over a actual boundary corner option in tony lippett...got awful safety play next to reshad jones at free...dbs tackled like girls even outside of reshad and brent grimes became an average at best corner this year and thats being kind...drafted more press man fits than off and zone ones recently

A unit chock full of 2 deep talents or not ready to play

And here we are in 2016 with the same guy...:bobdole:

Maybe vance joseph will give lou the same treatment tannebaums giving grier...puppet on a string
 
I'm glad they kept Lou. I thought he did a decent job as interim DC and if the new DC wanted him that's fine.

Rizzi. Ok but only for specials.
 
Whenever I read statements like "they are ... good people" with regard to performance, it pretty much tells me they suck at their job.

Methinks you like to over-react.
We have a new Head Coach, a new Defensive Coordinator, a new Offensive Coordinator, a new QB coach, a new Offensive Line coach, a new RB coach, a new WR coach, a new TE coach and a new LB coach. That sounds like a bit of a shakeup in the coaching staff to me. Adam Gase has a staff of 23 reporting to him. Many of the 9 retained are coaching assistants and some are in the conditioning staff who know the players. The only really key coaches that are returning are Rizzi on Special Teams, Anarumo demoted to his old Defensive Backs coach and Williams the Defensive Line coach.
