Dolphins interview Groh for defensive coordinator job

lol. Parcells always goes back to his buddies when times get tough

I kind of hope Butler blows them away in the interview.

It's a tough call - the old dog that knows all the tricks, or the up-and-coming understuday of perhaps the greatest 3-4 Defensive Coordinator of all-time?

I think a small part of me hopes that Butler gets it, but I won't be dissapointed with either one.

Groh isnt a Jets coach.

I think a majority of us are hoping that Butler gets the job. At the least his defense would be very interesting to watch.

Groh was Virginia's coach last season. He was the Jest's coach in 2000. Confusing wording by the King of the Florio's.

I personally am hoping Butler gets the job. Look at him as a prospect with a ton of upside, especially after coaching under a mastermind of the 3-4 in Lebeau.

Oh Groh!

Eh, prefer a younger guy as I'm not sure Groh was all that good to begin with, Groh has been called "the Jets Sparano" from back in 1999, but he never really had much success in NY.

Besides, if we don't upgrade the defense, it won't matter who we bring in.

Good to see you Jim. Florio is a wordsmith isn't he?

if groh is hired it will be like the two old guys up in the box on the old muppets show. :pointlol:
henning and groh = extreme senility
uggh

Dang, when you put it like that...:lol:

Either way, that was a great analogy!

The thing is I actually really like Florio. The only drama I really enjoy in life is NFL drama, and I buy him hook line and sinker.
After all he is just reporting things that other people write.
He may be a rumor monger, but he's damn good at it.

Now that the season for our fins is over I really gotta find my way over to the draft forum. Lotsa good stuff being put up in there. I go to learn from people like you, CK and Boom. I am just a draft pawn.

Just say no to old AND mediocre.

Let's get some fresh new blood in here. Personally, I am sick and tired of this "Parcells tree"

Lot of really good posters in the draft forum - a lot that are a lot better than me. Con, adamprez, and alen1 all know their stuff very well.

i have to ask
you want groh to get the DC job?

What has Al Groh ever accomplished?

Dan Henning won SB's, Groh left the Jets after 1 8-8 season and no one tried to hire him away from UVA...that is normally a solid clue.

Either one should be better than Pasquali or however you spell his name

I'm hoping for a trinity of Butler, Groh, and Bowles on defense. That may be asking too much.

just say no to Groh :lol:

Whoever we get I hope it is someone who has been an effective DC before and they are not taking a guess on the promotion of a LB coach. This is not the time for experiments.

I think I prefer Butler because his style of defense is more enjoyable to watch to me, but I'm not fooling myself into thinking the perceived defensive style, or Butler is going to be a better coach.

Who gives a rats ass what Groh did as a head coach? That's a terrible objection to have. The league is full of guys who are good coordinators and not particularly good head coaches.

Not that I'm a Pasqualoni fan, but none of these coaches would be able to do much this year. Fact is, we need upagrades at LBs, Safety, injury at NT while there were rookies at CB...

Yea, I hope where better, but a new coach just isn't going to magically fix this D.

Those two where a couple of the only reasons I used to watch that show as a kid. :pointlol:

Them, the Swedish Chef, and Beaker.
