I'm on my phone so bare with me on the link. I just read this.

“I keep hearing from a lot of my friends in the NFL that the Dolphins may have won the battle to get Jeff Fisher as the new head coach,” Rosenhaus told the radio station. “The buzz is exactly that, that Fisher is leaning toward the Dolphins and that he will be the Dolphins new coach at some point today.”

I'm fine with the move, if it happens.  Fisher is a leader of men, something this team has not had in quite some time.

This is awesome news!  My understanding is that the DC from the Saints is probably going to come and join Fisher.  This takes away some of my concern over losing Nolan, which is likely.

If Jeff can just see it fit to keep Daboll and give him another year to work (with a true offseason), I think we are set to make waves sooner than later.  We may miss out on the first 2 QBs in the draft, but I think we can get a better prospect than Henne to develop for a year while we feel out Moore a little more.  If we switch OCs, I think that we have to shoot for moving up in the draft and sacrificing a lot in the process.  Keeping Daboll gives us a year to develop without sacrificing so much.

I think Ireland learned a lot from drafting Henne.  A great arm is nice, but smarts and accuracy and leadership are more critical.  A round two QB wouldn't be a bad way to go, now that we have a stop gap in Moore (and potentially better).

If we get Fisher than Ross gets a clean slate with me and all is forgotten (as I am sure it will be with many fans). As many mistakes and screw ups he has had he would have come through HUGE on this. I'm not gonna sit here and say Fisher is Bill Walsh, but he was the best candidate on the market this offseason and Ross got his man at all costs. That's all you can ask for out of an owner. To get the best people available to give the team the best chance to win.

Now lets just hope these rumors are true and Fisher does come here. Otherwise forget everything I just said above  Wink

This is the ultimate "ok" choice.  He's not going to embarrass you, he's competent.  He's just nothing fancy.

It's actually what I predicted, so no surprises, either.

The "I really like Jeff Fisher" side of me is like "YAY!".  The "we've had really bad luck with mustachioed head coaches" side of me is like "Dang!"

The Saints were 24th in the league in total defense.  This is more of a concern.  I'd MUCH rather keep Mike Nolan.  (Miami was 15th)

Nolan is gone. Williams is a legit NFL DC and he  blitz's a ton. The Saints lack a ton of talent on defense they have speed speed and more speed. You give Williams the talent Miami has on defense and he will be fine. On the same level as Nolan

New Orleans defense isn't scaring anyone.  They have been susceptible and win games like the Pats and the 10-years-ago Rams - by flat out scoring a hundred points each game.  They win in spite of the defense.  Not exactly the type of guy I'd covet as a DC.  Just sayin'...

Now you wanna bring the Saints' OC - I'm listening...

Report out tonight from National Football Post. Ross offered Fisher the title of Executive Vice President (making him Ireland's boss) and will pay him in that role as VP and as head coach a combined $8 mill a year.
