Why make Nolan Head Coach when he failed miserably at it before? Why not try some up and coming coordinator and take a chance on being great instead of hiring the next fistpumping goofball.

Like Tony Sporano lol
 
I just don't want an overhaul. I'm not even sold enough to sell the farm for RG3. I'd rather pick up the premiere FS, whether its by draft or free agency and plug a few of the holes we have. sign another qb or resign henne to be the "backup" and let them have a qb competition for the starter. our team is really easily a 9-7 team as we stand with chemistry and decent leadership. we can beat anyone in the nfl.

I think we all thought we were a 9-7 team (or thereabouts) in 2011 before we started 0-7. I'd also consider drafting a safety high or re-signing Henne very unlikely. Henne is an ideal backup and I even believe he can start in this league in the right situation, but Miami is no longer a fit. Despite what he says, I don't believe he wants to come back, especially the way the fans have ridden him for a few years now. It's best that he gets a change of scenery and Moore is our stopgap in 2012.

Belichick is the exception to the rule also. 99% who have failed miserably will do so again

How successful was Belichek in NE when Drew Bledsoe was under center? He became a genius right after Bledsoe went down with a season ending injury and he was forced to put Brady in the game (you know, the same Brady that the genius had behind Bledsoe on the depth chart). Our coach did the same thing, and we fired him for it! (Not saying Moore=Brady, but clearly Moore>Henne).

That's not really an accurate assessment of how things went in New England. Bledsoe was a franchise quarterback and I believe had just signed an extension worth around $96 million. No matter how good a backup might appear to be, he is NEVER going to just take the job of a guy that's a former No. 1 pick, solid starter in the NFL that's been to a Super Bowl, and someone that just signed a monster contract. For people to act like Belichick should have jumped Brady over Bledsoe immediately are insane. There is more to football than just what's on the field, and that kind of thing would never happen for business reasons alone. But Belichick did keep FOUR quarterbacks on his roster for all of Brady's rookie season, which pretty much proves Belichick liked Brady a lot because that is NEVER done in the NFL. (Hell, a lot of teams now only keep two active.) Belichick might not know exactly how good Brady would end up being, but the fact that he drafted him, kept four quarterbacks to keep him around, and moved him up to No. 2 behind Bledsoe after his second year proves he knew he had something.

Fair enough, but my point is that nobody considered him a brilliant coach until he got one of the best QB's in the history of the sport on the field. How many other coaches would've looked pretty smart with Brady on their team, and how brilliant would Belichek be if all all he had to work with was the string of qb's the Dolphins have had since Marino?

Great quarterbacks change everything. But from what I've seen, Belichick is arguably the best head coach of all time. For many years in the last decade he was ahead of the game and was excellent at personnel evaluation (which he's always had control over) and scheming. Nobody is better at what he does than Belichick.
