Miami Dolphins Followers Rank The Normal Supervisor & Head Coach Hires

[ad_1] Our Miami Dolphins employed a brand new common supervisor, Jon-Eric Sullivan, and a brand new head coach, Jeff Hafley, this previous week. After these two hires, I adopted with the query:

What grade (A-F) would you give every of the 2 massive hires by our Miami Dolphins for head coach and common supervisor? Past the grade, do you consider they acquired the very best man for the job in each instances, and if not, who would you might have reasonably seen the crew pursue and why?

Beneath are a few of your thougths and answers-

Commercial

CardiacPackM8 stopped in to share some perception into the 2 new hires. Sounds good!

You guys are going to like each of those guys.

I knew Hafley was going to be a head coach someplace finally. You simply knew it from the primary time you heard him converse in Inexperienced Bay. He simply spoke like a head coach. I do know he had been at BC however he was taking on a protection that, frankly, sucked and underachieved for years. Hell, that’s been the story of our franchise for the final 10-12 years. Haf acquired so much from these guys on protection even with all of the unhealthy habits they picked up from Joe Barry and even with all of the accidents. I cherished listened to his pressers each single week as a result of he isn’t a BS’er. He was going to elucidate issues so you would perceive and he’d even diagram a rattling play on the board for the media members to drive his level throughout. He's real and, as he mentioned at this time, what you see is what you get. Humorous man, too. I feel he's going to be actually good for you guys.

Sullivan, the identical. He has been right here perpetually and we usually hear him yearly on the Packers entrance workplace press conferences after the Draft. He is aware of his shit. We’ve had immense expertise on our roster for most of the final 7-8 years to not point out within the 2010s. That’s by no means been the difficulty in GB.

Simply two actually stable people who find themselves going to grind and do every thing they will to make this crew higher. Gamers are going to need to play their asses off for Haf.

Molly Polly II is pleased with the hires on the prime, however is extra involved about the remainder of the foot troopers.

Each have my vote. They actually have the expertise and hopefully it pays offs off for us. I'm involved about OC n DC, together with Asst Teaching positions. Perhaps think about recruiting Jason Taylor from the Hurricanes (or is it too quickly)? Fortunate for these guys, except they fully F up, the one route they will transfer this group is upwards!

DolfaninME believes the true issues lie on the ft of the native media and us, the followers.

The actual drawback Miami is entitled media and followers. The expectation of successful a brilliant bowl in yr 3 or 4 is unrealistic. So we're on this curler coaster once more. McDaniel was a superb coach. He thought Tua’s fast learn and launch may compensate for a weak OL. It could possibly’t. I consider he has discovered this and shall be a superb HC someplace sooner or later.

The brand new guys will even have so much to study. Earlier than they get fired in 3 years.

Dolphindon52 says you should recover from the entire Ross factor, or kick rocks, I assume.

To these of you who retains saying nothing goes to alter till Ross sells the crew, recover from it or decide one other crew. It’s already been established. The crew is staying within the household.

As for me…..GO PHINS!!

David7777 by some means believes that Tomlin remains to be coming, we simply have to attend a bit!?!?!

Hopefully this man is only a placeholder for Mike Tomlin when he comes again as our head coach after a yr off

THEphinz is all in on these hires.

I give each an “A”.

I base this on their feedback on dimension, enjoying in unhealthy situations, and setting tradition.

Moreover each guys appear hungry. Like theyve acquired one thing to show. Rather more “no nonsense” however with the power to attach the dots for the gamers and make the suggestions make sense

dksurf thinks there's some threat in hiring two novices for his or her jobs.

Powerful to say.

Beginning with the Head coach rent he has a had a really mediocre observe report together with going 22-26 over 4 years at BC and only one yr because the DC for the Packers the place they ranked ninth and tenth in go and run protection and nil NFL head teaching exoeriece

In the meantime the GM historical past is similar to the man we simply fired, showing to be a lifer (22 years) with the Packers beginning as a scout, with zero NFL GM expertise.

In abstract the upside is the Packers have been a extra secure profitable group and the GM does have a observe report of investing in premium positions, whereas the HC has had some success as a defensice minded coach. The danger, once more for the Fins, is we employed 2 novices into their roles.

Invoice Moody doesn’t actually know what to assume but.

The GM is saying all the precise issues, and the truth that he isn’t Chris Grier is a large plus. However apart from that, I don’t actually know a lot in regards to the man, so I can’t actually grade him till we see his draft.

The coach is a whole unknown. The one factor I learn about him is that his protection gave up like 28 factors within the 4th quarter towards the Bears to be bounced from the play-offs. That’s it… That’s all I do know. Once more, I can’t actually grade him since I do know nothing about him.

TheRoo1 offers us some professionals and cons on each.

Sully B+

Professional’s Long run in profitable franchise, has served in lots of capacities, doesn’t need fast flash, develop and assist draftees, from fiscally conservative franchise,

Con’s doesn’t seem to have been major resolution maker beforehand, unsure of negotiating expertise, restricted publicity to gamers or coaches outdoors Packers group.

Hafley B-

Professional’s, Has expertise in Packers system, prior familiarity with GM, seems pushed to participant improvement, Prior HC expertise (though in school degree). Was defensive playcaller in GB. Apparently properly revered by gamers.

Con’s Restricted community in NFL for assistants, No NFL offensive experiences, unknown gameday time administration, problem or different sideline processes,

That is an outsider trying in with no shut or private information past whats available on-line. I’m positive there are many different issues lined within the conferences, how a lot Sully was concerned in Cap planning and many others that we reallydont know. These are simply of f the highest of my head.

MiamiItaliano offers them a B!

I give the hires a B grade. We’ll see if J.E.S. and Hafley flip this franchise into the place the gamers take into consideration soccer first, not partying in South Seaside.

I might have appreciated McDermott when he turned obtainable. I’m additionally shocked no one interviewed Joe Lombardi. If Bo Nix didn’t get damage, the Broncos would have a legit shot to get to the Tremendous Bowl. With Stidham, not a lot.

Alpha6 says all issues thought-about, they did fairly properly.

Beneath the circumstances, based mostly on obtainable candidates… I give them an A.

Recent & tradition change.

A brand new chapter brings a brand new route.

New characters with a brand new twist.

Letting the twist develop within the coming months…

Dolfanjoe is taking the sound wait and see posistion.

100 % They've made the precise resolution ! What are we purported to say ? They screwed up fully ? 6 years down the highway we may have the solutions to in the event that they employed the precise combo. If in yr 4 each are fired and we're 3 – 14 we would not be a contented crowd ! However till then who is aware of !

SlayerNation1 says the grade is incomplete at this level.

INCOMPLETE

… which is healthier than:

Grier F, He failed

McD F, He finally failed additionally

Will these two really change the tradition and expertise or will the unhealthy tradition and unhealthy expertise change each of them? Which of these forces will win?

Saskatchefin actually needed McDermott.

Proper now, I might say a B. Hafley does have expertise as a head coach in faculty so he ought to be proficient in play calling. I did like Weaver as I heard a number of occasions he had the locker. I'll drop it to a C in the event that they don’t let Weaver get picked up from one other crew to gather draft picks. A if they will create the tradition change.

As for some feedback on protection, each ours and GB. Think about for us we had no DBs. All damage in preseason. I feel Weaver ought to have been interviewed.

As for the GB loss, 28 factors, simmer down. It was a playoff recreation in Chicago, Ben Johnson had that crew enjoying a crew recreation, and Chicago’s protection was good as properly. Hafley, had Parsons go down. When you needed to be essential like that then I can’t think about your ideas on Sean Payton’s protection when Miami went off. There protection performed method stronger after that beat down and a few of that's satisfaction.

For me, I needed Sean McDermott. 9 seasons HC for Payments, yearly in playoffs. How do you hearth that man?

Simply my 2 cents

phinsatx sees the hires as stable proper now.

They appear like stable hires. We didn’t actually appear to chase shiny objects or embarrass ourselves by hounding candidates that didn’t need to be right here within the hiring course of. So, that looks as if an improve. There have been plenty of temptations too.

I just like the message of constructing via the draft and training the gamers up, so the discuss of the stroll/discuss appears interesting. Clearly, 2026 might be a horrible season, so it's onerous to be too psyched about any of it. I feel I’m extra curious to see how the offseason and draft go. Which may be an enormous a part of the stroll the stroll. Not saying they've a clean examine, however I feel they've plenty of room to do what's greatest for the longer term.

I additionally assume this can be a crew that has been to the playoffs considerably lately and is hovering round 500, so there's some bizarre expectation for them to not be terrible and keep some degree of mediocrity. Except by some miracle, they stick the touchdown and switch it round in a single yr, however that looks as if so much to want for.

Properly, that’s our random 15 for this night. It appears a lot of the fan base is both on board with these two hires or in a wait-and-see mode. When you missed the unique submit, you possibly can see it HERE with the remainder of the followers’ feedback. As all the time, thanks to every of you who took the time to learn and reply our query of the day. Please make sure to be part of us tomorrow for our Convention Championships reside thread.
