Straight from the mouth of a Dolphins fan...

[Bill Brasky]

One of my housemates from college is a Phins fan. I just had a conversation with him about the Bills... here are some quotes:

"i think donahoe is guilty of trying to get finese players and doesnt get it that you need big mean lineman on offense and defense"

"he got a steal in mcgahee, he drafted losman who i think is going to be good, did a good job with getting rid of peerless price - i think he worst move is mike mularkey..."

"i dont understand how mularkey and mike tice have kept their jobs so long. tice is awful too. they should go after pete carrol, offer that guy a dumptruck full of money"

the last part got me thinking...

Pete Carroll sucks. Donahoe's worst decision was Mike Williams.

Other than that, your friend is pretty much dead on.

pete carrol had his chance in the NFL


I dont think pete is a great college coach. Good yes, but not great. Hell, give my grandma Leinhart, reggie bush and co. and she could win games

Pete Carrolls rah-rah crap won't work in the NFL.

Carrol is not going anywher, he is a great recruiter and a great college coach, his style doesnt translate well in the NFL.

Mularkey needs to go, but the question is who would you really want to be Head Coach are ther any good candidates out there

NOOOO to Pete Carroll. First, he won't leave USC. Second, he is not a good NFL head coach. He's fine where he is.

Re: Straight from the mouth of a Dolphins fan...

so you're saying you'd rather have a guy who stands around, looking lost, can't control his players, can't call the correct plays, can't make game adjustments... over a guy who's on the brink of 3 straight NCAA titles...

it doesn't matter if you have a boatload of talent... there have been plenty of stacked teams that can't win the big one, in college and the pros... i'd rather have PC over Costner's twin anyday.

no way it will happen, but i'm just being hypothetical here.

Re: Straight from the mouth of a Dolphins fan...

Carrol has a sweet deal here at USC, he is not gonna go anywhere, my question is once again who are viable coaching candidates out there ??

Re: Straight from the mouth of a Dolphins fan...

I heard talk of Marty Shotenhimer (I murdered his last name) possibly getting the axe in San Diego if they dont make the playoffs...I wouldnt mind seeing him here...

Re: Straight from the mouth of a Dolphins fan...

well, right now, off the top of my head... Mariucci is available now, Haslett will be gone from the saints this year, Jim Fassil who TD passed on is an Asst., Dick LeBeau is an Asst and coached here before, Dick Vermeil might retire or leave KC, Mike Sherman may be done in GB... those are just off the top of my head, I'd have to look at coaching staffs...

The only one's I'd want out of that list would be Fassil Vermeil or Sherman... and I don't think any of them are that great to begin with...

Re: Straight from the mouth of a Dolphins fan...

none of those names get me excited, what sucks is we passed up so many up and coming young coaches for trash not once but twice

[Bill Brasky]

Re: Straight from the mouth of a Dolphins fan...

i think what this team needs most is a guy who can control the egos and attitude problems, and be an above average coach... there are some good coaches on that list, but none that stand out as guys who can put egos in check. they've never really had to deal with ego players, other than Mariucci with TO but they pretty much showed him the door before he became a full blown ass.

Re: Straight from the mouth of a Dolphins fan...

oh how different things might have been if we could have gotten Marvin Lewis or Charlie Weiss...
