Let me start off by saying i for one am sick of being at the bottom of the league every single since the Marino days and wasting the superb amount of defense that has come through in the last 10+ years. That said I think most of us agree that its time to go a different route than the Johnson,wanny, and Saban defensive minds especially with Capers all but locked up(hasn't dotted the I's and crossed the T's so to speak).

So knowing we most likely would be going offense lets take a look at possible canidates:

1.Chan Gailey-friend of Waynes and former OC with the club.In 2 seasons as OC with the phins made playoffs but ranked in bottom quarter of the league both years in total offense. Was HC of Dallas for 2 years making the playoffs twice as well.
2. Brian Schottenheimer- Jets OC, 33 yrs old, only 1yr experience at OC but regarded as a good young creative offensive mind, son of chargers Head Coach Marty.
3.Cam Cameron- Chargers offensive cordinator for last couple years proven in the league, regarded as one of the top young assistants in the NFL led an offense this that led their team to an 14-2 record and housed the NFL's mvp.

Now after looking at the possibilites we all know Gailey wasnt that bad but he also hasnt merited any reason as to why we think he'd be able to do achieve anything better than mediocracy. As far as Brain goes all we really know about him is hes veryyy young has only been an offensive coordinator for 1 season and during his one year as OC with the jets their offense ranked in the bottom third of the league. and then we have Cam Cameron who cam into this year regarded as on of the best assistants in the NFL and is known for his great offenses hes produced with the chargers. Granted he did have a lot of weapons but i feel with a healthy Culepepper back we have a lot too. Cam is a proven coach which you cant say for Shotty and he has shown he knows what to do with LT(yesterday was not his fault te players started to lose their heads and that falls on the head coach)imagine what Ronnie could do in his system. HEs also helped Bress and Rivers become the QB's they are today and that could help if we are planning on taking a Qb in the draft at some time this year.

So my question to all of you is what is attractive about Brian Shottenheimer being that he is young, unproven, and didnt even produce that well this year in his only seaon as OC?

especially when we all dont want to have to go through this process again in the next 2 yrs because he wasnt ready or just didnt work out. To me the safest bet is Cam Cameron.


I honestly hope we dont go after Shotty but No matter what i will support the fins in their decison and will hope i was wrong!

GO PHINS!!!!:dolphins:
 
Cam all the way man. Wayne get the contract ready to go for Cam, because he is heading to Miami.
 
Cam lost me yesterday, I was never big on him, he has studs all over the offense, but he took the ball out of the best players hands when they could have won yesterday. Very Mularkey like!
 
So one bad game and your ready to throw in the towel. Give him a break, not everything is perfect in the world. You win some you lose some. I still have faith in him.

Look at his history, its the same every big game. Marty will be fired as will Cam.
 
my question is why are we seemingly so interested in Brian Shott. what more has he done to be the favorite?

Ran an extremely creative offense. As much as it would hurt, see if you can dig up footage of some Jets games this year. Their offense was only ranked 25th in the NFL, yet they went 10-6 and made it to the playoffs with Pennington at QB and a committee at RB.

The biggest strike against Schottenheimer is that he's inexperienced. He's only been an OC for one year. What has he done to deserve being handed the keys to the kingdom in Miami, as both head coach and GM? IMO, not much. Yet.
 
a 14-2 season isnt good enough for you ha...thank god your not our owner. We would be head coachless for years


Marty and the GM have been after each others heads for years, don't be surprised if it happens.

IMO same can be said about chan Gailey when we made the playoffs and had Lamar smith, avg wr's, and Jay Fiedler at the Helm so why not as much love for Gailey

I wish I knew. I've been trying to convince people that Gailey is worthy as our head coach, and he's certainly proven his ability to win. The fallback complaint seems to be that he runs a boring offense. Big deal.
