Are you upset about losing out on Fisher?

[MikeO]

I didnt want him. At this point, I say give it to Bowles

Bowles is a poor mans Jim Caldwell. No way in hell. Never been a coordinator either, we just went through that with Sparano. Too big a jump

If you want aggressive coach, Mike Zimmer and let him hire a bright offensive coordinator. My top 2 guys right now would be Pete Carmichael in New Orleans or Chud in Carolina

Its gonna be hard to find anyone that wants to coach in Miami, with Ireland at GM. Are u kidding me, this guy has made so many bad decisions if Ross decided to fire Tony, which I think was an OK coach, then Ireland should of been fired right with him. So far he hasnt done anything good, both the owner and GM. Im afraid no one will wanna play for this GM and they'll just end up pretty much buying someone and bed them to coach there. A lot of coaches like to have more power so with poop like Jeff Ireland at GM I think it'll be hard for anyone to have a good realationship with him.

So, Caldwell was a rich man's Bowles. Child, please. To go 2-1, having never been a coordinator shows promise.

You can't really measure a coach by the way he performs as an interim.  This team had a spark of life when Sparano was fired, kinda like the 2004 team had a spark when Wannstedt was fired and Bates took over.  It's a lot different when you have the interim tag removed and you have an entire offseason to prepare.  Look what happened with Leslie Frazier in Minnesota.

I totally agree. And look at Dallas with Garrett

Bowles has never been a coordinator before. Coaching a team in 3 meaningless games at the end of the year doesn't prepare you for this job I'm sorry. Plus the loss vs New England isn't a star on his resume, his team blew a 17-0 lead in a game they were totally dominating.

[dolfan13]

the concern now has to be not only a head coach with no head coaching experience, but an entire staff that has little experience.

everyone learning on the job...

[hordman]

Hell NO!!!!!!!!!!

We're getting upset about a coach that had 6, count them, 6 winning seasons out of 16 years!!!!

My friend that's .0375 percentage. 

I respect Fisher, I like him, and his teams were always a tough play (he was 3-6 lifetime against the Phins).  BUT, he's a retread and I don't want someone who's been down the path already, hungry and & eager to win, but wants to come back for the big $$$.  I call bullshit.

I want a young coordinator, from some team that he's shown promise and innovation and can bring that the Phins & et some excitement back to SoFla.  I don't care what his background is, who coached under, what his NFL lineage is......I just want him to bring that winning attitude to MIA.

Fisher would have brought stability, no doubt, but that would be it.  He's not hungry and in this day of age, you got to have that in the NFL.  he's not ready for a challenge.  He's look for some nice cash flow, some love from the fans and more security.

Nor sorry he didn't get the job.

[masterfins]

Actually it's 37.5% or .375.  Still I see your point.  It's just that everyone seems to think Fisher was the top coaching prospect this year.  At least he has a record to hang his hat on.

The good thing about Bowles - you can probably make a good play to keep Nolan and Daboll.

I'm in favor of that...

[Brian]

Just hire bowles. If it doesn't work out we'll fire him after a couple years and move on

[MikeO]

So you want to return a coaching staff minus one guy who just had 3 losing seasons. Yeah that ain't happening

[el diablo]

Given the circumstances, I'm in favor of Bowles. Especially if it means that Dabol stays.

Oh my god people....they are interviewing a bunch coaches for a reason, cause the current group sucks. Status Quo and bringing everyone back is NOT an option

[masterfins]

Geez if they make Bowles the HC, they might as well trade away all their draft picks for two years to get RGIII or Luck, because they will be lucky to win 8 games with Bowles.

[DarthHoodie]

Hire Bowles so you can suck for Barkley? 
You guys are fortunate that Fisher picked the Rams, his first 2 coordinator hires are--OC Schotty and DC Gregg Williams...yuck!
