It's looking like former Green Bay Packers coach and Texas A & M coach Mike Sherman might very well be the next offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins.
Sherman was at one point the front runner for the Tampa Bay Bucs head coaching gig, but that looks like it ain't happening. He's interviewed with the Dolphins and is reportedly in town at this very moment.
Sherman coached the Packers from 2000-2005 and is long-time friends with Joe Philbin (Philbin was on his staff in Green Bay).
This, of course, means no more Brian Daboll in Miami. It also most likely means the Fins will be running a west coast offense, which is weird but different.
If that's the case, it looks more and more like we're all gonna have to put our faith in Matt Flynn next year.
It will also start to get everyone's crotch hot and wet for Sherman's Texas A & M QB Ryan Tannehill.
Because FUCK YEA second-round quarterbacks who did awesome at the Senior Bowl!! Right, you guys?
Please dear God tell me that is something stuffed under his shirt and not an outie, or, gulp, even worse, a chubbie. And get that belt over the part of the pants its supposed to cover for craps sake. No wonder you got fired.

Tanny aint in the Señor Bowl though. I only watched one game of his though and he looked a little poopy. As for Flynn, can't say I'm real hot on him either, but if Philbin is that would give me more confidence in him.

That Henne article is hilarious for many reasons, to include the assertion that Flacco "isn't starting QB material."
To Jimmy's point, what the fuck is that thing? I've heard of innies & outties before, but that shit could be a undeveloped twin, which NOBODY should ever do a Google image search on.
[chuckles as everyone runs out to do that which they have been warned not to do]
+1 to JZ for "Señor Bowl"

An undeveloped twin? I love it. Two coaches for the price of one. Maybe it's only ability is to second guess play calls and call his brother a stupid prick when things go wrong.

OR we sign Peyton Manning and draft Tannehill for Manning to groom.

I still think it's Peyton, RGII, and Flynn. In that order of preference for Ross. I'm not sold on Flynn, hell, no one is sold on a guy with 2 NFL games under his belt....and he didn't exactly tear it up at LSU either. But in all fairness, neither did Tom Brady at Michigan. This quarterback thing is a crap shoot. The thing that sucks about this whole situation is that free agency starts March 13th and the draft isnt't until the end of April....so if you want RGIII like I do, you have to let Peyton and Flynn get away and hope you win the bidding for Griffin. Somehow we will fuck this whole thing up and end up with another 2nd round bust.

As Dan "TRAOG" Marino himself said recently, with respect to Flynn, "There are reasons why a career backup QB is just that."

Brandon Weeden is this year's 2nd rounder that looked really hot at the Senior Bowl. Tannehill broke his foot and isn't in the Senior Bowl.
I'd love to draft Weeden. Tannehill...meh.
Posted by: ckparrothead | Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 02:12 PM
Isn't Weeden the same age as Philbin? He spent five years in the minor leagues. I'd prefer a young stud that can spead his seeds across south Florida for the next 15 years.

qb's really are not a crapshoot, thats a load of bull. more often than not, first round talent guys are the qbs that most likely will have success in the nfl.
your odds of finding a franchise guy outside of a first round talent, is pretty slim.
dolphins try to get their qb in the 99 cents store bargain bin, while everyone else shops at nordstroms.
Posted by: Julioruano | Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 05:26 PM
True....but it's hardly a sure thing. Like JaMarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, Matt Leinart, J.P. Losman, Byron Leftwich, Kyle Boller, Rex Grossman, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Patrick Ramsey? Feast or Famine.....CRAPSHOOT!!...lol.

I give less than a flying monkey scrotum who the HC/OC/DC or any assistant is for this team. The only thing that now matters is a fucking winning team for a god damn change. The only thing that wins in today's NFL is an accurate bomb tossing QB that can avoid a rush and make clutch plays. Get that, and everything else is gravy. Win. Win now. Fuck all the other bullshit.
