Comments on: Carl Peterson involved in Dolphins interview with Jeff Fisher http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/03/carl-peterson-involved-in-dolphins-interview-with-jeff-fisher/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Mon, 20 May 2013 02:53:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: FinFan68 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/03/carl-peterson-involved-in-dolphins-interview-with-jeff-fisher/#comment-1487818 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:32:47 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=177331#comment-1487818 All these teams that interview Fisher may be in for a nasty surprise. The “top” coaching prospects are interviewing the team as much as the team is interviewing them. In order to lure a coach like Fisher, Cowher, Gruden, etc., they would have to tell him what their vision is. That will likely include a generic draft plan. Teams that are looking to trade up in the draft may be at a disadvantage if he goes to Indy or the Rams. Fisher may know (or at least have an idea of) what the team might be willing to trade for RG3 or Luck/Manning depending on which way they decide to go.

That said, Peterson was in charge of the best mediocre teams I have seen. I could never understand how the Chiefs were getting to the playoffs back then. They were just good enough to break the fans’ hearts. I don’t think I want that for the Dolphins…look how bad the Jets fans are hurting nowadays :)

The man doesn’t like the pay any player that isn’t one of his “boys”, that’s why LJ got paid and Jared Allen got traded. He’ll only hire coaches that are part of his little cliche and forget about drafting and grooming a Qb. I watched him operate in KC and was amazed he kept his job as long as he did. Guess him and A. J. Smith have damn good agents!

Anyway, he ruined my Chiefs and has no business ever working in the NFL again. I think someone, preferrably my Chiefs, should get Marty Schottenheimer to be a GM, and let Bill Cowher be the HC.

————————————–

I agree.

Dammit, why won’t someone just LET Bill Cowher coach, already?

Derrick Johnson
Tamba Hali
Brandons Carr
Brandon Flowers
Dwayne Bowe
Jamaal Charles
Branden Albert

all cornerstones, all drafted by King Carl. Not that I’d take him back or anything. He also chose LJ over jared allen, so there’s that.”

Yeah, when you are drafting in the top half of each round EVERY year you are going to stumble on talent accidentally. That list has also led to how many pro bowls and championships?

Everything you say is true, that’s why I truncated his tenure to the post-Montana years. He did win a couple then. But saying that Joe Montana was the last man to QB the Chiefs to a playoff win, 18 year ago, says all you need to about King Carl.

No way he signs there with that structure in place.

By the way, great pic of King Carl, lol.

I have 2 playoff wins, both coming through fantasy football so he has me by one.

That said, the last coach this clown hired was Herm Edwards, you know, the guy the Jets were going to fire yet Carl stepped in and saved him from the embarassment, all while giving up a draft pick I believe?

Anyway, he ruined my Chiefs and has no business ever working in the NFL again. I think someone, preferrably my Chiefs, should get Marty Schottenheimer to be a GM, and let Bill Cowher be the HC.

Yes, I see him taking a horrible team like the Rams over the once-relevant Dolphins, mostly because the Ross ownership/Ireland FO situation is a mess and something Fisher (as did Harbaugh) could smell miles away.

he doesn’t have to inform the fans about negotiations he’s got going on… it may be simply that he’s bringing in a friend with deep NFL experience to help…. or there might actually be something to it…. either way, he’s the owner and I’m sure he’ll announce a lineup soon….

One thing: if he gets a major coach, that guy will likely get a lot of control, so Miami will never turn into Jerry Jones land… which fans should be thankful for.

He basically saved the franchise by doing that. However, thereafter the most notable thing he did was to sell out Arrowhead time and again, to which accomplishment he often pointed when justifying his overly long stay.
This move by Mr. Ross, though, seems ill advised, as most of the foregoing comments seem to confirm.
