This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
With 3 moves being made already (the most I can remember in-season) and possibly 3 or 4 more firings coming (Carolina for sure with San Fran, Houston, Arizona, Cincy and Tenn. all possibilities) we should have our pick of established OC's to choose from. You already have McDaniels (unlikely because of his history with Nolan and Marshall) and Childress available right now (Childress is a tool but he comes from the Andy Ried tree, I might give him some serious consideration). If Kubiak comes available he's another one to consider, and the dark horse to keep an eye on would be Garrett in Dallas, if they dont retain him he could very well be our next OC. I think I would prefer Childress of this bunch.
The flip side to all of these openings is Nolan will probably get an interview or 2 with the job he's done this year and the fact he has HC experience. If he leaves and Singletary gets canned I would try real hard to bring him in, not sure of the D he prefers but I love his intesity and work ethic. Lets hope Ross steps up (ala Wayne) and pays Nolan enough $$$$ to not want to leave the warm confines of Miami. Thoughts?
Theres no chance of Garrett, if he leaves Dallas he wont be An OC in his next job, he will push for head coach.
Kubiak would be an alright option, i would go for that.
"It's been fun to get the reaction of visiting coaches to the color of their locker room. Most don't notice it, but those that do are in trouble. . . . When I talk to an opposing coach before a game and he mentions the pink walls, I know I've got him. I can't recall a coach who has stirred up a fuss about the color and then beat us.” Hayden Fry
.....and if Tennessee fires Jeff Fisher, they are the dumbest franchise in the NFL. The dude is a great coach, and they are a QB away from being a good team, as well.
I agree about Fisher but you never know how this VY tug of war is gonna play out with the owner. I also think Garrett stays in Dallas but with that loonie toons owner you just never know.

Jim Bates did that but couldn't find a HC job after he was promoted to interim HC here. He was then forced to take a DC job instead. So, you never know.
Garrett was a very hot commodity just a couple of years ago. He stayed in Dallas as "HC in Waiting". Bates has always been just a DC, but got a promotion due to the firing of a HC. He was never a hot commodity prior to being the interim HC.
...big difference...
I would bet Cowher goes to Carolina, I think he lives around there. I think Garrett stays in Dallas if Jerry cant get a big name like Gruden or Cowher, but like Monty said, if Dallas doesn't keep him I think he stays an OC with someone else for the time being (most likely us with the obvious Ireland/Sporano/Dallas connection)
Jeff Fisher probably the next coach of Dallas. Maybe Garret or Kubiak goes to Den if they can't get Gruden or Cowher. I heard that the Cowher to CAR thing is overstated and probably won't happen. I bet that Nolan gets a HC job somewhere, unfortunately.
