Rex tried to hire Dan couple of years ago. Would not be surprised to see him make another attempt.

Agreed..Not sure if Buffalo has an opening but i definitely wouldn't be surprised to see him end up there...

I'm reading that other than Rizzi, the whole coaching staff is gone. Wow....talk about a house cleaning.....

Not even sure why we retained Rizzi. Not like our special teams were anything "Special".

Agree on a RB/WR who can return kickoffs. D Williams, with both hand or one, is not the answer. This does make a difference.

[Tarpon Guide]

Maybe Special-Ed.....

They were much worse when he became the Asst HC and was no longer in charge of them. Biggest issue was penalties, which were mental mistakes.

Most are going back to college. Goes to show Philbins cast of characters aren't even looked at in the NFL. This will be my last Philbin bashing, in order for me to get well I need forgive him for causing many ailments hehehe.

I think that's pretty telling....we'll see what happens with the rest, but I don't see a whole lot of "Kacy Rogers" or "Mel Phillips" on that list though.

I thought Rizzi did good with what he had to work with. He has never really had a "return man" and before he became assistant HC I thoght the ST unit was by far the best on the team and very good in the league.

[Dolfan1]

Perhaps I'm just so disillusioned with the entire team that I failed to see or remember anything special.

[Driven_Phinsane!]

To me it seemed they were decent at the start (though the decisions their return guys make rank as some of the worst i've ever seen, including Landry fielding punt after punt between the 5-10 yd. line!) Then turned atrocious when Rizzi became asst. HC, which i'm assuming came with more responsibilities, thus taking time away from his ST's work...

[cuchulainn]

Agree, Shane... and there was a noticeable drop off when he became the Asst HC.

This is funny! The Miami Dolphins coaches are moving to their same positions they had with the Dolphins, but doing so in the college ranks. Most would consider these lateral moves.

I think it says a lot about the level of talent Milquetoast Joe brought to the Miami coaching staff. I don't fault him on all of them of course (Lazor was a good idea that failed miserably - but I was excited about the hire when it happened). He certainly lost a lot of talent along the way though. Letting Kacy Rogers go to the jests was a colossal fail.

[DolphinsFreak]

In My Opinion Philbin's biggest mistake was allowing Sherman to have so much say in player personnel and coaches as well. It just seemed like after Sherman was hired he took over Philbin's job. All of a sudden the Dolphins coaching staff was filled with Texas A&M guys, including Sherman's son-in-law and that was a big mistake. The Dolphins have been stuck with those mistakes until recently.
