I'm not sure about Chris Shula. I know Ross wants to find the next Don Shula, but what are the chances that Chris Shula is that person?

About the same chances anyone else is -- very slim.

Coffee. 

I have not had any alcohol in over 5 years.  Never smoked.  Tried pot a couple of time in the 80s. 

But I am addicted to caffeine.     

What's your favorite takeout coffee?   I like Dunkin Original Blend, Wawa Colombian roast or Circle K Colombian roast.

I also saw a movie called Wake in Fright from 1971 that had tons and tons of real kangaroo hunting -- it was disturbing to watch that.

Achane.  He is literally the only player on the Dolphins that I want to see in a Patriots uniform.   And given your salary cap issues 2027 is a possibility. 

More Australian movies to check out include.

Crocodile Dundee (surprised you didn't mention this one - avoid the sequels though)

When I saw the title of the thread Crocodile Dundee was the only movie could think of..... and documentaries on kangaroos.

I don't know much about Chris, but I do know that he has never had to be the demonstratively better than anyone else to get the job.  As long as the other applicants were about the same with none head and shoulders better than him then he got the benefit of the doubt.   Now this doesn't mean he sucks and he may have benefited from some insight from his grandpa that most people can't get from grandpa.  And just because he has never *needed* to be demonstratively better doesn't mean he never *has* been demonstratively better. 

This isn't particular to Chris, and not all nepotism hires are incompetent, some are actually quite talented.  However, the most incompetent people I have ever dealt with are people who have benefited for nepotism and privilege.  (In contrast I have never dealt with a truly horrible DEI hire, not saying all DEI were phenomenal some were quite bad, but none were the true bottom of the barrel incompetent of nepotism and privilege.)

Something else that has been dropping since around the '80s (rate is per 100k people):



Maybe all the ads selling testosterone supplements are actually selling a worse society.

The most likely reason for the crime rates dropping 18 years after Roe v. Wade is because unwanted children are more likely to be violent criminals than wanted children.   

I have no idea who would be best but the only thing I will say is that if Chris Shula gets the job, he's certainly earned it. I know many think he's just a name but he's been proving himself for 16 years with the last 6 being in LA. There is a reason he is on everyone's list and it isn't because of his last name. He has earned it from the bottom up.

I’d be fine with them hiring Chris Shula or Harbaugh, I feel like Harbaugh is the only reason the job became available in the first place.

I'd love to have Harbaugh, but I don't think we are going to land him because I think he's going to be able to decide where he wants to go and I don't think Miami is that appealing due to it's salary cap issues and dealing with the whole Tua and Hill situations etc. 2026 is going to be a bumpy year and perhaps beyond and I doubt that Harbaugh is interested in that. The timing was strange that they added Alexander to the GM search when Harbaugh became available, but I'm not sure that's the reason that McDaniel was fired. I'm also becoming convinced that Ross and the Harbaugh family aren't really as close as it seems. If the Dolphins really wanted to secure Harbaugh, it would have made more sense to make Chad Alexander their next GM. I really think Aikman is driving this process moreso than Ross and that makes me feel better about the whole process.

I've heard that Matt Lafleur might be looking for a new head coaching job and I would love that, but again I think that's wishful thinking. I think Lafleur will be staying in Green Bay.

Personally I'd rather give a coach with an established record a second chance rather than some young up and coming offensive or defensive coordinator their first, but I just don't know who that might be. We could do worse than Mike McCarthy. I'm kinda surprised that we haven't heard the name Raheem Morris come up. Robert Saleh anyone? I just don't know.
