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.
Reports are that most of the players are laying the offensive woes at Sherman's feet...
If these reports are true, I'll be very suprised if he's retained. The question is who do we bring in to replace him?
I just hope we don't go off the rails with coaching changes...we don't need to to replace everyone, just the right ones.
I'd start with Sherman, and Turner...both would be fired today if I was in charge.
Ireland would be kept BUT he'd be having a meeting with me today and he'd be told that he's getting a new boss and that the O-Line and LB's had to be immediately fixed...and not with project guys. I'd let him know that more struggles would come at the cost of his job.
Coyle would also have a meeting today...the focus of this meeting would be that we have too much talent on defense to have struggled as we did. His job would hinge on him fixing tose struggles...no more excuses.
Philbin would also have a meeting...he'd be kept also but he'd be told that he's getting a new boss.
This new boss would be give the title; director of personnel and football operations. He would oversee the entire football operation...Ireland and Philbin would report to him and he would report to no one except me.
Immediate cantidates for this job would be, in no particular order:
no doubt the play calling was horrible and I would fire sherman, but again when the QB completes 50% of his throws and misses a wide open deep receiver at least once a game that is not on the OC.
Even the national sports guys make comments like we've seen him miss that throw before.

Where is the quote that RT said anything? These things are usually locker room rumors. I highly doubt Tannehill said anything to a reporter or anyone outside the locker room.
I agree Eesti, all we have so far are rumors and I don't have a clue who Ian Rapaport is. I don't twitter or twerk.
Also, I agree that Tannehill probably would never say anything negative about his boss "on the record" but, I believe he may be naive enough to say something in confidentiality and actually expect it to stay confidential or, locker room banter as you say.
It seems unlikely to me that Ryan Tannehill would throw his college coach, and his OC the past two seasons, under the bus. They have a strong personal relationship that suggests he wouldn't do that. I don't buy it.

He certainly wouldn't do it publicly, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel this way.
Hey I hate McFagels, but I also think he is a amazing OC. Also it is Shaermans fault that Tanny couldn't hit Wallace deep. He admitted to not practicing the deep ball in training camp. Every damn coach needs fired, except special teams guy. He is decent.
Whether fact or fiction on Ryan's comments. Doesn't matter. Sherman is as good as gone. Should not take that long for the announcement. Ireland should follow soon after.

I've heard that reported, but who actually said it, if anyone?

It is partly on the OC: already been reported they don't practice the long throws during practice. With that being the case, extremely hard to time the passes, especially with a guy that has Wallace's speed.
No arguing that RT misses the long ones.
The receivers don't do a great job of getting open; case in point yesterday: On one particular play, RT had time in the pocket like I have never seen him have. He throws an incomplete pass. Why? You gonna tell me that with that much time, not one damn receiver could get open? Wallace couldn't break off his pattern and go deep?
Take a look at the yards after catch for our receivers....not good. That should say a lot right there.
As I said on another thread, Cap. Tanny's problem is the passes are too long or two short.
When you say to me that a hypothetical quarterback has not practiced the long ball, I would expect the passes to be all over the place. Too far to the left, too short, too far to the right.
but when the passes are RIGHT ON THE MONEY BUT JUST EITHER TOO SHORT OR TOO LONG, then what you are seeing is the quarterback's inability to judge the speed of the receiver's stride and place the ball in a speed zone that will match that stride and get to him without him breaking that stride.
That is what is happening with Tanny.
And if this problem keeps happening again and again and again and not just at the beginning of his career, you are dealing with a "natural deficiency."
And that's what Tanny has.
I used to think it was because of the collapsing pocket and he didn't have time to judge the speed of the receivers but yesterday he had plenty of time.
He just doesn't know how to throw a deep ball to a running receiver.
He can probably hit a stationary target at 50 yards but that's not the same thing as a moving receiver.
He is GREAT at passes under 20 yards but..............
Come on, holic, no one was talking about Green Bay. dolphin, and everyone else, was talking only about when Sherman and Tanny were together and since obviously Tanny never played for GB, that could not have been reasonably construed to be part of the argument.
