The one bad thing about a turnaround like the Dolphins have had the past two seasons is that other NFL teams and college teams start to raid the coaching staff. I wouldn't be surprised if Reid is only the start of team's targeting our assistants. If David Lee doesn't get the OC job after this season, I bet there will be quite a few teams that will be asking permission to interview him for their OC position. Todd Bowles will also likely be targeted as both a head coach and DC candidate.

So you can imagine the concern on Wake's face when I told him the current scuttlebutt around the Atlantic Coast Conference has new Virginia coach Mike London -- father of former Dolphins receiver Brandon London -- targeting Reid as the next defensive coordinator for the Cavaliers.

Reid has deep Virginia roots, spending a combined 13 seasons working in the state as head coach at Virginia Military (2006-07) and Richmond (1995-2003) as well as defensive coordinator at Richmond (1992-93).

Reid's entire career was spent at the college level until Tony Sparano brought him on board soon after his arrival in 2008.

Jeff Ireland, the Dolphins general manager, would neither confirm or deny whether Virginia has asked for permission to speak with Reid. Nor would he say whether he would grant permission for such an interview during the Dolphins' season.

"It would be a case-by-case basis," Ireland said after Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

I think Boles deserves a DC role but I am not sure he can accept it. I believe the rules stipulate that an assistant coach can only change teams if it is a promotion. Boles is the assistant HC/DBs and if correct, does DC out rank assistant HC?

Anyone know the accuracy of this?
 
I really thought the Lions were going to hire Boles last season over Schwartz. Their loss is our gain as they say.

Doesnt matter if you're going to a college gig....Saban was the HC and went to be a HC in college...lateral move but totally different.

Sorry. I should have been more specific. I'm talking NFL to NFL.
