What's wrong with using sanity as opposed to "knee jerk reactions" in our coaching search!

Absolutely nothing at all.
This is the approach we should always have used!

Some posters are so "jaded" that most of their answers to our teams' problems are "knee jerk" short term solutions that have been rationalized, as opposed to being thought out.

While I'm a supporter for getting a HC sooner rather than later, it's because I feel they will need time to organize before training camp. While there is no rush, that does not mean there should be a meaningless delay.

We shall see what we shall see!

I just hope our new HC turns out better than most people expect. From what I've read here, that is either "a herculean effort" or "as easy as falling off a log" (or sidewalk - depending on which poster you are looking at) - LOL

It doesn’t matter if posters reaction is knee-jerk or not. It isn’t the posters who are making the decision on who the next head coach will be. It’s Ross and Grier making the decision and it certainly appears they are taking their time to interview multiple candidates and not making that knee-jerk decision.

The reality is that 9 head coaches will be hired this off season and based on history at least 7 of those head coaches will be fired within the next 4 years. Hitting on a good head coach is more luck than anything, no matter how much research is done prior to hiring that new HC.

So all Dolphin fans can realistically hope for is Ross and Grier get lucky enough to hire one of those 2 head coaches that will last more than 4 years as the teams next head coach.

What's funny here Ray is not one head coach has been hired for any opening but Dolphin fans still overreacting because no one has been hired.

It doesn't matter who we hire or when, I predict this message board will have more reasons why they will fail then why they could succeed....before they even enter the building. That is how jaded this fan base has become 😞

I imagine every fan forum of every team hiring a new head coach this year will have similar comments to what is seen on this forum. Some comments will be positive and some will be negative regarding the new HC their organization hires.

The reality is the Dolphin fan base is no more jaded than any other fan base that has seen their team struggle over the last several years. The fact some posters on here think Dolphin fans are more jaded than the fans of other struggling franchises is actually laughable.

I understand it's not all rainbows and unicorns on other fan forums, but the fact is I don't go to other fan forums, nor do I care what other fan forums say. Do I believe we are the only jaded fan base....no. I'm just making a comment on what I see on this forum. There are positive posts sprinkled in, but a majority of what I see is "why do we bother, whatever we do is gonna fail", "who's the coach gonna be 3 years from now", "why do we even bother with the draft, we suck at it", "every other team gets it right but us". I get frustrated too, but for me it's more frustrating seeing our fans assume everything we do will fail. Maybe the jaded just have louder voices, but gosh darnit, I'm trying not to get sucked down into that hole! I wanna remain positive until I SEE it failing.

There is an advantage to hiring the HC sooner than later. The good ones may be gone and/or the good assts will be gone. That doesn't mean pick anyone FAST, but there are disadvantages to being last.
However the new hire is, there will be too many threads similar to 'that idiot Ross blew it again,' and 'Landry's success as DC was tied to the HC. He'll suck.' After all, this is FH

I see some posters on here who tend to post negative comments but I don’t think that most posters are negative.
Of course I put most anti-Tua posters on ignore, so I don’t have to constantly read their same negative comments about him.

So that probably means I don’t have to read as many negative comments as you do. Negative comments in general don‘t bother me because I recognize this is just a fan forum and many frustrated fans just come on here to vent their frustrations. If they feel better venting on here, who am I to complain?
 
Fair enough. I might need to try the ignore feature at some point. I'm just trying not to become the jaded. Frustrated, yes....just don't want to cross over into jaded.
 
Whoever is selected as the HC, not everyone will agree with it or be that enthusiastic with it; that's just realism. Some will say fantastic hire and others will be pretty meh about that whole thing. I just want us to get the hire right and someone who fits in with the talent that we have. This is a 12 win team or better, I firmly believe that; if this offseason goes to plan as we need it to.

I haven't lost my patience yet and just have to hope at the end of the day the right man is hired and I will support whoever it is. As fan, what are else are we going to do?
