Miami hires guys good at interview, how about a good coach?

[FINOMINAL]

Maybe Miami is just really bad at interview? You look at the last hires and have to assume, these are the guys that really knocked it out of the park at the interview. We ended up with guys who stole the show up in the conference room and who stunk it up later. Maybe the interview process here is flawed? There is something about head coaching candidates who have won Super Bowls and have tons of winning experience that doesn’t show well to the committee sitting around the big table. Let’s rethink the process we have been using and get a proven winner on the field where it counts.

I heard Ross fell asleep during Philbin's interview.

Sounds like typical corporate america hiring, they hire off of how good they interviews went rather than someone who could do the best job.

Our owner is a CEO and he runs the team as a company.

I heard he had a semi

Another ridiculous assessment. Everyone in the world is hired based on their interviews. You act like picking the right coach is easy. You act like the Dolphins are the only team that struggles finding a good coach. You must not be in the real world yet.

And this... Wtf does this even mean? They OBVIOUSLY are trying to hire someone who could do the best job.

Good coaches typically aren't looking for new jobs. They keep the ones they have

Hiring someone who interviews well may be how you hire a shift manager at Arby's. Not how you hire someone to compete on a billion dollar playing field, lead a group of men and implement a new cultural identity. I find this whole process beyond absurd. It is a lot like corporate America's flawed process of hiring based on the quality of powerpoint presentations or longevity instead of actual ability or results. Philbin had to have been hired off his interview because he had never accomplished anything.

This time we have an experienced guy in Mike Tannenbaum coordinating the search. A very broad net has been cast and I would expect that he would be asking the searching questions. Tannenbaum is Ross's guy but make no mistake, if his recommendation results in a dud, then his career as a highly compensated NFL executive is in tatters. He knows that he needs to land a winner for the Dolphins.

You find out about people's 'abilities' through the interview process. It seems you're suggesting you should only hire retreads. You'll miss out on a lot of opportunities this way.

This. Don't dismiss this Just because it seems unfair. In business, the only ones they interview in the first place are the ones that check off all of the qualification boxes, so at that point the person that gets hired usually is the one that interviews best. I've seen it myself many times. The only exceptions are when one of the candidates gets recommended by someone higher in the organization.

Anyone who was present when Philbin was being interviewed does not have a clue what the hell they are looking at in a candidate, period. Of the current regime, that would include Ross and Aponte. It also proves the point you can't be letting an MBA like Garfinkle to be a decision maker, which is truly laughable. You have zero credibility if you could spend any amount of time with Philbin and think anything there could translate to successful head coach. You truly do not get it, if you looked at Philbin in an interview and thought there was a prayer. It's not just damning to Philbin, it's damning to anyone who looked at him and thought "yes". Because, you know what, the rest of us got a look and knew.

Is that what I'm implying? These candidates aren't people off the street. All of them have a body of work and research needs to be done into it to observe results and context. True ability is discovered through real world results. Not the ability to sell yourself in an interview.

In a perfect world I agree with you but many times the employer doing the interview allows their personal feelings toward an individual based on their performance during the interview overcome their strictly analytical assessment. There is always a personal component unless you turn over the hiring process to robots. The wild card is how much influence he exerts over Tannebaum during the hiring process.
