Armando confirms that Saxon (running backs) is out and DeLeone (tight ends) has accepted a job with Paul Pasqualoni at UCONN. And we already know David Lee returned to work under Houston Nutt at Ole Miss. As Mando points out, the Dolphins will have new coaches at four of six offensive positions (including coordinator) next season. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolp...ns-in-the-market-for-rb-and-te-coach-too.html
I still think Sparano is a good coach. He's pretty much been neutered by Ross, but he's still a good coach.
Judging by the play of the RB's and TE's, these stooges needed to be canned. Unfortunately, the head stooge still remains intact.
Out of all the coaches that have left.....have any of them gone on to other NFL jobs or have they all taken positions for college teams? Anyone know?
Great job f***tard Parcells did with this staff!!!! Seriously, has he secretly been on the Jets payroll the past 3 years? WTF.
Well he did do a better job for them than he did for us when it comes to coaches.....they got a defensive genius and we got an O line coach. And we're the one's paying him.... it would be funny if it weren't so excruciatingly painful
The OC (Henning) is up in the air. Might retire, but said he would like to continue coaching. The QB coach (Lee) rejoined Houston Nutt at Ole Miss (previously together at Arkansas). The TE (DeLeone) coach went to UCONN. No word on the RB (Saxon) coach yet. John Bonamego (ST's coach fired midseason) still a free agent. The strength coach went to U of Virginia, though his move was likely due to the pending lockout (nothing for him to do, little-to-no pay). Meanwhile, a few of our defensive coaches have gotten looks at promotions with other teams.
Well one thing to keep an eye on this offseason is whether or not the Organization decides that the Oline, or the Running Backs were to blame, as hate to say it however PFF graded out the Oline fairly well, they gave Ronnie and Ricky bad grades overall. Who is played well between the 2?
I think we should just believe our eyes, Pads....and not worry about rankings. While Ricky and Ronnie both looked like lesser versions of themselves...... did you see any holes to run through? Cuz I sure didn't..
Kidding aisde Bro, I do not know, for me to be able to form a reasonable conclusion I would have to watch most every snap and know the blocking assignment, then I'd need Iso's on R+R then a solid conclusion could be formed. The Running Game is far different from the passing game, a bad pass is a bad pass, the running game requires knowledge of who should have been doing what and when and to whom..and didn't. BTw, as for Saxon and Deleone being canned, to me as long as Rizzi is not canned they were the two pigs watching the fox raid the henhouse, Sparano is skipping over the real culprit and making a potential mistake.
Bro I think it has to do with the big build up of the future when the Parcells group came in, and the lack of it happening. The heat is on high right now for both men because of where we are, and how long this franchise has suffered. There is a lot of doubt amongst the fans that this tandem can make it happen.
True. As there should be, I'll grant Sparano and Irish that we are in a tough Division, however back to back 7-9's with two late season melt downs should earn them the stink eye, however the D was bad in 09 and was fixed, the O was bad in 2010 and is in line to be fixed. Not thrilled about Darren Rizzi being kept.
Eh don't make it so complicated...... when the running backs are being hit in the backfield...... you have problems on the O line. When you're "between the tackles" running back has no gap to hit, you have problems....as far as where the problems are? Let's just say we need a Center and both Guards. And I don't think anyone needs to do a study on it....lol
As true as that is I really think that our running backs were too slow to hit some of the holes that were there. Our offensive line was not a strength, but I just don't think they're as bad as they were made to look by R+R. Also I would like to see either of them make someone miss in the open field everyonce in awhile.
RB coach James Saxon & TE coach George DeLeone are gone! SORRY PLEASE MERGE THIS THREAD. I DIDN'T SEE THIS BEFORE I POSTED IT "According to the Miami Herald's Armango Salguero, James Saxon has been relieved of his duties as running backs coach, while tight ends coach George DeLeone is voluntarily leaving the Dolphins to join former defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni's staff at the University of Connecticut."

Interesting. Probably good to see the housecleaning continue. I mean, the TE coach never developed ANY of our #2 Tight Ends into anything (Joey Haynos anyone?) Not sure about Saxon getting the hook. Ronnie and Ricky aren;t gamebreakers to begin with in this jumbo three yards and a cloud of dust offende that has no interior Oline. They SHOULD fire whoever can't make their mind up on a starting interior Oline. And fire Karl Dorrell too.
Also, is this Daboll getting to assemble the coaches he wants? I am guessing he has been reviewing the position coaches with Tony and deciding on whom he wants to keep. I still think Dorrell goes.
I look at it as another chance to make a new first impression! They did with the Defense in 2010, why not the offense in 2011?
good moves. would like the oline coach and wr coach released also if we could but i'm happy with this
Who was the RB/TE coach in Cleveland last year? Ben Watson has a really good year, and Peyton Hillis was a wrecking ball.
