I can't disagree with you here they all know it and all said it that they need balance and they simply lost control. I understand the new OC is very green but all Campbell has to do is tap him on the shoulder and say mix it up a little more son or you'll be gone too! These guys may end up being good but this team can't afford coaching errors, bad play calls, unbalanced play calling, etc....right now. At least the coach needs some experience in the league. I'm intrigued by Shula for obvious reasons but does he even have enough experience at this point???
Well if the new guy doesn't have enough experience to keep the play calling balanced, when to call a TO, etc...the team will continue to falter for years and right now they need someone who can be that rock to keep them together. Just do the right things instead of it being a circus all the time.
Very good points with you and Paolo, Flyer. I, however, really would like to see Miami hire a guy that has a REAL eye for talent, as virtually every head coach and/or GM has epically FAILED in the regard(and perhaps the biggest issue) of infusing this team with quality if not good players from both the draft and free agency. Our line would have been ridiculously better this year had we signed Mathis....who's decision was it to go into this season banking on Dallas freakin Thomas or the other ass clown that clearly should be on some teams practice squad??? I mean, our line has sucked HUGE for what, ten damn years now? Come the fuck on already.....I agree with Paolo about having more than a clue about how to turn this franchise around and really having a 'vision' that might make sense. I agree with Flyer, that the last 3 coaches(at least) have been badly outcoached in almost every tight ballgame Miami has found itself in-so being able to make game changing decisions in critical moments of games are pretty important. After watching the Dolphins basically get shredded by Eli for the entire game, its became painfully obvious to me( and probably millions of other people watching the game) that this team lacks A LOT of talent. The offensive line needs I would say two solid guards, and possibly a decent tackle that can play on either side. Our linebackers are almost comical, and have been almost as long as our pathetic offensive line. I had somewhat high hopes for Taylor as a compliment to Grimes coming into this season, but I think its fairly clear now that Miami will need probably two more corners as Grimes is a shell of the guy he used to be. Defensive line? Yep, go ahead and add that to the list as well....perhaps if the 'football Gods' shine their heavenly light on Miami, Jordan will come back next year and be a beast-but it would be so 'Miami' if he was completely out of the league by next season(cough Pat White cough cough). Sorry to make this such a long winded post, but my point is that Miami has had SOOOOOO many bad if not downright pathetic drafts for so very long.....sooner or later it clearly catches up to you-and it finally has for Miami. I propose we get a head coach( and more than likely a GM-so long Hickey, thanks for flying United) that can truly find talented football players that MAKES MIAMI A BETTER TEAM. This team is in need of at least 5 good players(probably more) before we even begin the discussion about playoffs. This offseason might be the biggest/most important one for Miami in a very long time. Possibly ever.....
