So I'm less of a fan because i don't think fisher is a great coach. Or anything above "o.k."??... Got it....I guess I also think there are no other good teams and coaches in the NFL???... What a joke...........Conservative sparano ball. Taking steps toward the HOF one FG at a time.
not really… it is just your opinion… which BTW you are 100% entitled to… but it doesnt make you any more of a football fan then the guy that thinks Fisher is not a good coach
Pete Carol <sp> did he just punt the ball back to the Pats with 3 minutes left in the game after they have not made them go 3 and out all game long?
Now that he's no longer coaching under an idiotic owner... I think he's got a very good chance. He is an outstanding head coach.
Already? He's been in the league for twenty years. Fisher is the epitome of medicority, brother. He sports a barely .500 regular season record, a sub-.500 post-season record, and 1 super bowl appearance (loss)... and with the talent they've had in his tenure, I'd say they were consistent under-performers. Let me take it a step further and say that guys like Munchak and Washbrun did a hell of a lot more good for that team than Fisher did. Now to address the top-5 nonsense; Belichick, both Harbaughs, McCarthy, Tomlin, Coughlin, Lovie, Payton*, Reid, and yes... Pete Carroll (ok, you don't have to agree with the last one). Those are, in my opinion, the guys that are definitively better than Fisher. Then you have a bunch of guys in the same tier like Marvin Lewis, Mike Smith, Gary Kubiak, and Ken Wisenhunt... actually, Lewis is the only guy from that second list that I will concede Fisher is a better coach than. Whatever. Fisher isn't top 5, and I'm not going to argue that. As far as we, as Dolphans, are concerned, Philbin may not have been the sexy choice over the offseason, but if you'd rather have Fisher knowing what you know now, you're an awful fan... and I question whether or not you've even paid attention to any football this year. First of all, I'm not a rapper, and we could care less if he goes to the hall of fame. We celebrated two Dolphin greats that are on their way today. Second of all, you're the one on a Dolphins board, advertising yourself from Nashville, and defending a guy who slapped our organization in the face. Why do you think he's so great anyway? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK! THE DOLPHINS WON, AND WE KICKED POOR JEFF'S CANDY ***!
How ? On what grounds has he shown anything aside of that of a .500 coach aside from one sb APPEARANCE? I see the rams being a .500 team for a while
You might wanna go back and read your post... the one where I paid Fisher a compliment, and you pointed me to the Rams board.
I've already had this argument on this board before, and I've more than made my point. You think Fisher sucks? Fine. I guess we'll just wait and see what he does with the Rams.
You paid him a comment out of opinion which although seems unwarranted, you are entitled to it. You implied that I'm less of a fan than you. Point blank. Whether intentional or not. There could be someone who thinks the phins are the only team with good coaches and players and all other teams are garbage, that doesn't make them less of a fan than you because you think .500 Fishstache is anything above subpar
I stand corrected. I still stand on my opinion though. Terrible clock management and decision making in the clutch from an otherwise top coach.
I dont agree with the call but you have to look at it from his POV…. he knows what his kicker can do and not do… 10 yards would not have made a difference… still misses it to the left.
I agree the calls were questionable, but I have yet to watch a game where some calls aren't questionable. How you can say it would have been a blow out , except for the ref's calls, is beyond me. The fact is that the Rams offense had more than 470 yards in the game, while the Dolphins offense had just a little over 200 yards. Thew Dolphins won the game at that is what is important. The Rams are still a rebuilding team, just as the Dolphins are. This game could have gone either way and fortunately the Dolphins got the win. They are certainly capable of beating the other mediocre teams in the NFL. They just don't seem to have the players at this time to beat the better teams in the NFL. They have a very mediocre secondary and today showed that a team with a good offensive line can run the ball on the front seven. On offense the OL hasn't been effective in run blocking since the Jets game. They also allow too much pressure to get to Tannehill when he goes back to pass. This unit has appeared to regress as the season has gone along. The Dolphins can only really rely on one receiver from game to game. Devon Bess shows up for every game. Hartline, Fasano, and the rest of the receivers show up for a few games a season and are unheard of for many of the other games. The Dolphins have to upgrade the WR and TE position by next year if they want to be able to contend for a playoff spot. I think the Dolphins will go 5-5 or 4-6 the rest of this season. I don't see them making the playoffs this season,but with upgrades at WR and TE on offense and upgrades in their pass rush and in the secondary, they should be a legitimate playoff contender in 2013. Hopefully with the draft and all the money they will have in free agency, they will be able to upgrade these positions after this season.
I don't think that Fisher or Philbin are mediocre. I just think their teams are mediocre right now. I expect both these teams to be much better in the near future. I think Philpin and Fisher, will certainly be a major reason for both these teams improvement in the coming years. Fisher took over a bad football team and they certainly are no longer a bad team. Philbin took over a team with many needs and while some of these needs have been upgraded, others still need to be made. Both these coaches took over teams who were going in the wrong direction and they were hired to change that direction. I think both Fisher and Philbin have their teams headed in the right direction. They both just need more quality players on their teams to get to that next level. I just see 2013 as the year the Dolphins become legitimate contenders. All I want to see from them this year is improvement as the season goes along.
I loved that douche comment that the one announcer made about "Philbin coming to Miami after they missed out on Jeff Fisher" lol Kiss my *** we "missed out" on him.
Yesterday, I was going to buy Ferrari, but they wanted $500K and the right to tell me when I could drive. I left the dealership. Apparently I missed out on the Ferrari and it turned me down.
I was going to take this girl home but she told me that later she'd be sedating me, stealing all my money and leaving me with a headache and a rousing case of herpes. I mased her and ran away, but apparently she turned me down.
Just re-read every post. No clue what youre talking about. Obviously i'm going to tell you to go to a rams board. You are up-talking the opposing teams head coach who pretty much gave our organization the finger like he is some high and mighty holier-than-thou coach. he is a subpar .500 sparano like coach with a superbowl loss under his belt. I never once called you less of a fan. YOU started with that nonsense.
Fisher did not turn us down. We turned him down for the price he wanted. This really needs to be understood because everyone gets it wrong.
Be that as it may, definitely a very small point. Thanks for the correction though. In the end we were just leverage anyway, which is moreso what I meant
I've found nothing to verify this. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/nfl-rapidreports/20539645/dolphins-notebook-rams-coach-jeff-fisher-says-miami-made-right-decision-hiring-coach-joe-philbin Respect? I think not. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl---...jeff-fisher-choosing-rams-over-dolphins-.html http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7...s-st-louis-rams-not-leverage-play-source-says From the man's mouth, he thought the Rams had a brighter future. Glad he was wrong, because we unearthed a diamond in Philbin.
"At the end of the day I wanted the ability to have final say, with a general manager I could build something with," Fisher said. "And ultimately, a lot of it came down to Stan and Sam." I think that quote proves we turned him down. He wanted to have final say. We didn't want to give him that. Had we agreed on that, he would be a Dolphin right now.
What do you mean you found nothing to verify this. The quote you posted says it in the first line: If we wanted him bad enough we had have met his demands. He wasn't worth the control he wanted. Why do so many people have a problem with this?
I disagree with that on the basis that if there were a disagreement, it would be Fisher who says no, not Ross. If they're negotiating terms and Ross says Ireland makes personnel decisions, and that's the bottom line.... what do you think happened next? 1) 2) I'm betting it's the second. Semantics, maybe, but either way, it wasn't about money as was claimed.
No one claimed it was about money, it was about price. Fisher wanted X amount of money and personnel control. We weren't willing to meet those demands. If we let him have control, he'd be here. We chose not to give him what he wanted. Again we CHOSE not to meet his demands.
Nope, no one Every outlet, including Fisher, is claiming that he turned down the job when they wouldn't cede control. You don't think Ross still wanted him? You think that when Fisher said no, that suddenly, Ross changed his mind from his original proposal of wanting Fisher and Ireland together? Fisher may not be the ultimate douche that many portray him to be (although, we all agree, it was fun as hell to stick it to him yesterday), he did turn down an opportunity to be our coach.
