What would a day be like without another swipe at the Dolphins.

I’ll put the over/under at 3 more negative articles by 8:30 cst tomorrow morning.
===================================

It’s hard to write positive articles about a team that so consistently bumbles around. It’s like asking why people keep writing negative articles about the guy that flipped that cruise ship.

I hope Ross was talking to Hank about buying the team from him.

What’s with all the playoff talk at the end of this story? Did someone botch the copy/paste job after having a few lunch drinks? Hey, it happens…..

Flooro, why do you put so much faith in a couple of mediocur newspaper sports reporters. Oh they are sports reporters,,should of guessed that one.
The Dolphins are keeping this HC hire very close to the vest. NO ONE knows or even can specualte who the new HC will be, cause they dont know. One could figure it out the media has no idea, if you re-read that last sentence by Barry whats his name, who states Ross is keeping Bowles as a fall back if he cant makeup his mind on either Philpin or McCoy,,,,what? And you people believe Ross cant make up his mind on two favorite canadates? What? Flooro, get real buddy. Barry whats his name needs to take a deep breath and think about that stupid statement he wrote.

I sure hope its someone with Superbowl Appearance, or a Superbowl Ring. Carmichael, or Philbin will do… all else would be silly. McCoy only had a few hundred yards by his QB in Denver.. big whoopie.

Ross, Ireland & Peterson are meeting as we speak deciding on the next head coach by playing rock, paper, scissors.

Its true. The media just continues to go out of their way to make the Miami program look incompetent. Jeff Ireland, the GM’s 1st round picks: Jake Long (Probowl every year & future Hall of Famer), Jared Odrick (future ProBowler), Vante Davis (future ProBowler, best run stopping cb in nfl), Mike Pouncy (ProBowl alternate, all rookie team). Undrafted pick ups.. Devon Bess (2nd best slot receiver in nfl), Cameron Wake (probowler), free agent signings..Brandon Marshall (probowl), Carlos Dansby (excellent), Reggie Bush (1,000+ yrds, last 11 games averaged 5.5 per carry). So he went after harbaugh..now you all see why, so he insulted Dez Bryant..who cares, he’s a jerkoff). Miami is doing fine. They just need a qb. You cant make a franchise qb magically appear. Hopefully they can trade up and grab rg3. But they are doing a great job and are on the right track. GO DOLPHINS~~!!

==================================
Goobs,

Put down the crackpipe and come back to reality.
If Miami has such great talent, then why do they miss the playoffs every year. Your owner fumbles at getting a name coach and resorts to naming a country music singer as head coach of the Dolphins..

Goobs, it’s fans like you why people think Miami fans are the biggest tools in the NFL.

Dolphins secondary coach Todd Bowles is considered a fallback option if Ross cannot decide between Philbin and McCoy.”

Translation:

Bowles = Token interview, just like when the Cowboys gave him an “interview” before hiring Garrett.

With everyone else turning down the Dolphin’s coaching job, Steven Ross decides to naming Hank Williams Jr. the new Dolphin head coach.

You’d think the owner of the dolphins would dress a little better than storming around in a cowboy hat and leather vest!!

Boy, I sure did I jump to the wrong conclusion based on that photo!

Still, now that I think about it, they might want to give Hank some serious consideration.

Dolphins secondary coach Todd Bowles is considered “a fallback option if Ross cannot decide between Philbin and McCoy.”

We’re going to try to ignore the above sentence for the sake of the sanity of Dolphins fans.

This IS Stephen Ross we’re talking about.

@dolphan13

Um Devone Bess is definitely not the 2nd best slot receiver in the nfl lol. Percy Harvin is def better and more gifted than him. And hes not even close to Wes. The media doesnt make your franchise look like fools. They do that on their own

People crack me up when they say sing Philbin so Maimi gets Flynn. There is no guaranteeing that if Miami signs Philbin, Flynn will come to Miami. The other thing is that it juat ahows how us Dolphins fans are so desperate for a QB that we are willing to accept any old coach as long we get our QB.

To be honest, none of us have a clue how well McCoy or Philbin will do as a head coach.
But as fans, of course its our prerogative to comment on it.
Not a Phins fan, but I hope they get a good coach and the ridicule of the organization ends.

McCoy believes he’s the favorite. He’s the logical pick of the group as an up-and-coming coach the Dolphins can groom.–GR/PFT

Not if they want to go after Matt Flynn as their new QB. Then Philbin is the “logical” pick.

UNless the new coach’s name is JACK HARBAUGH, I can’t get excited about this.

Funny thing Steve Ross thinks his new HC is national news. Its going to get a few mentions, but there won’t be a break down of the franchise. Another giant failure by Steve Ross in thinking the public is holding their breath in anticipation of this anouncement.

Poor poor Dolphin fans, Steve Ross is a giant moron. Everything he does for this franchise fails. He just does not get what fans want or the history of this league.

just sign Philbin so he can atleast bring Flynn with him and use the 8/9 pick on a different position

By: andyo102

andyo102 — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:45:36 +0000

if you have Bowles as a backup option, please dont even hire him. Going by Ross lack of football knowledge, he will probably fire him after 1 year making it was wash. Create some stability

So basically, the Dolphins coaching search is still “down to three”, as was posted yesterday. The only change is that now the decision is “imminent”?

If McCoy can win with Tebow, just imagine what he can do with a decent QB (Matt Moore) and a few playmakers (Bush, Marshall and Bess).

Really. He had Moore, Steve Smith and D Williams and a decent D. Where did that get him?
Please bring in The GB OC. While he may not have called plays. He did build the game plans that allowed GB to go to the SB.

dolphan13 –

Are you drunk or are you seven years old?

“The media goes out of their way?” Are you kidding? Everything thing the Dolphins do and everything those idiots Ross and Ireland and Dee do is the media’s dream. You can’t make this stuff up. Woo a coach when you have one, honor the QB from the opposing team on the day you’re playing him in your stadium, ask a kid if his mother is a prostitute, on and on and on. No organization in sports is a bigger joke.

And as far as all those names you listed, they’ve had losing records three of the last four years. I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but those players aren’t as good as you think. Houston made the playoffs this year with TJ Yates as their quarterback for six weeks. You might want to think about that one……
