Hey dolfans Sorry for my poor English,
Here is my dream for the nexts months : moves on FO, Coaching Staff and Roster.

FO :

Mr Ross must decide who’s in charge and in charge of what ! [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
I mean he must clear who will search the next coach and who will study futures draft pick.
My opinion is Tannebaum will be the leading searcher for the next HC and Hickey will study draft prospects (perhaps it’s just me but hickey is not too bad for the draft, IMO many of his draft picks from the next two years contributes now ).

Coaching Staff :

My HC dream would be a Bill Cowher or a Mike Shula hire (Cowher is my first choice but seems a long road to return…..but perhaps if Ross give him all the power and the money he want he will accept to return + he is a fiery guy, and so like not so much coach had won super bowl with 2 differents teams perhaps the challenge could interest him).
Shula is my only other choice because of the Shula link with the dolphins and because many month away I rooted for his hire because he’young and seems to be a very good offensive coach ....... so he could be here for a decade at least (and god know we need much stability in dolphins staff).
OC : My choice will surprise many here but if our future HC is agree with that and if Dan Campbell accept to be our OC, I will go with him, he’s a good guy, his loyalty can’t be put in doubt and he would do anything he can for this team if we retain him + he fit the offensive pound power we need. [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
QBC : I will go with Zac Taylor here, he’s young, and like Campbell he just need to learn and I am perhaps the only one to think that…..but IMO RT seems to have improved much since Zach Taylor is the OC…so lets him work with RT.
DC : If Bill Cowher is the HC I have total faith in his judgment, so I let him choose his guy, if Mike Shula is the HC, I would choose the best defensive mind available to help him.

Roster Moves :[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
I would restructure Tannehill (because I am sure he will be a very good QB in the future with a solid OL, so I want him here for long term and Iam 100% sure he would help the team too for playing with solid guy around him and win.......see the heat exemple here) after that I would do the same with Suh, Albert, Wake, Cameron and Grimes because IMO they are core roster players with Landry and Parker and I want all here for long term with a solid roster around them.[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
If one of them don’t want restructure……..cut him and good bye it’s the moment to show team mentality first and to show leadership.

FA :[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

I would not go after a great one OG (if he’s injured that mean return to this year failure) but IMO it’s better to go after 2 solid OG, + I will go after 2 solid CB (with Mc Cain duo and Lippett) we will be fine and in this case we could move Grimes in FS spot (I think his ballhawk ability would be great here)[FONT=&quot].[/FONT]

Draft :

I would trade down and pick Jaylon Smith (LB) + Conklin (OL) and I would give what it take to do that and for the later picks I would go FS and speedy OLB

Thanks to give me your opinion on that plan all dolfans and happy new year by advance from France [FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Good effort fastball. Obviously we need help at CB , LB and OL and a few more positions either through the draft or by free agency. All will probably depend on who the choice is for head coach and GM and what their priorities are.
Your english is just fine :)
 
we need football players that love the game and hate to win. ECHO OL, LB and CB all positions of need. Not a huge fan of going after Shula. Yes, nice job there in Carolina, but don't really think he is the answer. I know Gruden was named a few times in whispers, would rather have his style for next position.
we have to get this stinking thing turned around. Hope you are well Fastball. Have a great new year in France!
 
Cowher has said many times that he enjoys the TV gig now. He is making great money for a part time job.
He is not going to coach again, nor is Gruden.

Thanks ofr your post.
Restructuring Tannehill is actually a horrible idea his cap hit next year is 11.6 million while all his subsequruent cap hits are in the 20 million dollar range. Restructe next years contract and that just makes all of those years that much higher. Same with Suh's contract but thats more senisble and would just hurt us more down the road or shift the major hit to the next year. Thats more doable although it would raise his guaranteed money to like 70 million. Cameron and Wake you would have to extend to restructure. Grimes I think we are better off not touching his contract because an extension would be quite unwise

just curious..how did you end up a Dolphins fan?

Chad
 
I end up a dolphins fan when I watched a dolphins patriots games many years ago, it was the game when dan marino returned against drew bledsoe.......what a a game and what a win.

This was my fist NFL game watched.

Since all yhis years I became a very solid dolphins fan and last year I was at wembley.

I search the last marino playoof victory game against the seahawk.......does anybody have this game recorded ?
 
Dreams rock. But odds Cowher coaching again to fulfill this dream are unlikely.
 
Will be interesting what happens to Campbell. Will they fire him and promise him a job here as an AHC? Or would a new coach even want to lose power right away? Timing sucks because the best scenario would have been to hire a coach and then try to retain Campbell. Instead, if we fire him Monday, he is a free agent coach

the 1994 game opening day? If that game was your "since" moment not a bad one to have! Love that we have fans on here outside the US. Keep representing!
