SemperFeist Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Right now my hope is that Dan Quinn has his 2nd interview with Arizona tonight or tomorrow, and they don’t let him leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be ideal. If not, then dolphins don’t let fangio leave without hiring him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 If Fangio wants to coach, I don’t see any logical reason as to how or why he would land in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s obviously referring to the defensive side of the ball. In which he is 100% correct. They’re not at all sailing in the right direction. They’re terrible. He is correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP_allday2869 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 The Minnesota PTSD in me says we hire Pettine, who has never been good other than when we coached with Rex Ryan. Even then, it was Ryan's defense and Rex was calling the plays. But I do think KOC will do the right thing and hire outside of the organization. Akin to the offense, I believe he will hire a young, up and coming coach which will give the defense some life and "zest." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I didn’t feel he was the one being needlessly sarcastic. But your point is correct - who will be the next DC is both interesting and the point of the thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle2heaven Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I hate to say this but if it is actually Pettine, my honeymoon is probably over with Kevin and kwesi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCountryEvo Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 As was brought up, we were the 31st defense this year. That was with players that didn’t fit the system, aging and slow players, a scheme that was as rigid as the coach who implemented the scheme, and lacked any semblance of aggression or gameplay week in and week out. I will also be upset if Pettine ends up being the guy who takes the reins, but with an eye towards positivity… we were 31st in the league on defense and we cannot get much worse. Be it through free agency or the draft, we will surely bring in fresh players. The scheme will also surely be adjusted to some extent. KOC and Kwesi understand this because they did end up firing Ed, which means they aren’t ignorant to the fact that the defense is what hampered this team. It won’t take a monumental upgrade to make us that much more competitive. Jumping from 31 to say.. 22-25 probably is the difference in 1-2 games per year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
