Don't want to give up a first rounder in Payton. Cowher/ Gruden is a joke as they are so cushy in their seats they lost the edge. Shanahan if not Campbell proving himself.

[DolphinsFreak]

Ross should spend a ton of money of his next coaching staff and hire three names from this list, hiring one to be head coach, one to be the OC and the other to be the DC. Make them the highest paid coaches at their respected positions. Highest paid HC, DC and OC. Now THAT would be a better way to spend his money then to go out and make a "splash" with players the Dolphins don't really need. This Miami Dolphins team has always needed COACHES since Shula retired and it's time that someone actually went out and hired some.

Don't count out Doug Marrone. He and Tannebaum have a connection...yes a Jet connection. I actually like Marrone and wouldn't be offended with him as the HC. I am done with the "hot coordinator." The problem is once they become the HC they don't have time to be the coordinator any more.

WE have to get away from this New York connection crap,,, I know! With Ross it's just not going to happen...

[Daytona Dolfan]

If I'm picking a coordinator to be HC, I think I would lean towards a defensive minded guy and hire the best OC I can find. JMO but I think you get more of the "right" attitude with the Defensive mindset.

[VAIDER5120]

HC- Mike Shanahan
DC- Jim Schwartz
OC- Tom Cable

I agree. Bring in a tough defensive minded coach and get them a good OC. I think that is a better combination.

Right now the latest rumor is that Ross is high on Todd Haley, OC for Pittsburgh with high recommendation from Parcells.

[DolphinsFreak]

Todd Haley is a notch or two above Magini as far as being the next WORTHLESS head coach hire for the Dolphins. Haley isn't successful in Pitt because he is calling great plays. Look at their roster. Give me a break. That's like saying McDaniels is a great OC because without him Brady would be nothing. If Ross hires anyone Parcells suggests I think I will be taking a long break from football, at least Dolphins football.

Effective Immediately I am now on a buying freeze of Dolphins merchandise. Todd Haley? Magaini? Sell the team, Ross!! Nobody wants you to own the team and you are NOT a Miami Dolphins fan. Nobody believes that so quite lying to the fans about this. Sell the team and use the money to do what you do best, real estate.
