Hrm, be interesting to see how this new Dolphins head coach hire works out.

Can't be worse than Cameron at any rate.

miami_fan · 01-16-2008, 07:43 PM

Does Tom Moore not want to be a head coach?

ColtCrazy · 01-16-2008, 08:22 PM

I think Tom Moore knows he's an OC and that's where he'll leave it. He's almost 70....is becoming a HC really what he wants at this stage.

If I post what I'll say on the Colts boards, the homers would feed me to ravenous dogs, but Dungy leaving may be a good thing. I love Dungy, appreciate what he's done...but this year the Colts seemed to lack fire at times...and a kick in the pants type might have helped in the 2nd half. I have no idea of Caldwell is that type of guy, but a slight attitude change would be a good thing.

Couldn't you say the same thing about the Colts last year when they were getting run all over at the end of the season? I don't think Dungy threw any chairs or kicked over any tables. In fact, he was lauded for his quiet demeanor that held the team together during that rough patch and on to the Super Bowl.

True. He kept the same system in tact, and last year it ended up working out. Again, I'm not knocking him...he brought the city a Super Bowl trophy and for that I'll forever be thankful, but the MO of this team has been more about failing in the playoffs after byes (they didn't have it last year) as opposed to perfoming in the playoffs like they do in the regular season.

Vinatieri for Prez · 01-17-2008, 12:45 AM

I think you're right. Dungy won his SB, so we'll give him the props for that. But for the QB and other talent on that team, their playoff record has been horrible in terms of getting to the SB. As one Indy sportswriter has said, the Colts have become the NFL version of the Atlanta Braves.

rkmsuf · 01-17-2008, 09:25 AM

Thank goodness the Colts are going with some in house clown to replace Dungy. Scary how good they might be with a good coach.

Seems as if Garrett is staying put as Dallas's OC, with the promise that he'll be the head coach when Phillips hangs 'em up.

JeeberD · 01-17-2008, 09:44 AM

Thank goodness...

korme · 01-17-2008, 01:18 PM

Garrett makes a call I don't know if everybody would make, good for Dallas.

rkmsuf · 01-17-2008, 01:20 PM

When did Garrett become such a genius and hot commodity? Parcells wansn't playin dat. Went right for the Sopranos guy.

Butter · 01-17-2008, 01:24 PM

This whole promising people jobs to stay put thing has become a lot more popular of late as well, moreso in college than the pros. Waiting for it to blow up in somebody's face...

If I were Phillips I'd leave if this were the case.

they should just get rid of that baboon and make Garrett the head coach

miami_fan · 01-17-2008, 01:29 PM

I can remember announcers talking about Garrett being HC material before he retired.

I understand it better in the college game but only in specific situations.

I hope Dungy stays and Belichex retires.

We can dream can't we?

Although, on a Dungy side note, Gary Brackett, defensive captain said after a conversation with Dungy he's convinced Dungy has one more year in him.

stevew · 01-18-2008, 06:11 PM

Ravens have alledgedly hired John Harbaugh(brother of Jim) as their new head coach. Weird how a defensive backs coach can get that kind of promotion.

He was a special teams coordinator for years, so he has a lot of coordinator experience.

CU Tiger · 01-19-2008, 10:34 AM

Jones almost made Garret HC last year.
Its hard to imagine him not doing what it takes to keep him. Being the highest paid Coordinator in NFL history should do it....

Especially since Phillips has rehabilitated his image in many ways.

dervack · 01-21-2008, 05:39 PM

And Dungy is staying for at least one more year.

http://www6.comcast.net/sports/artic...N.Colts.Dungy/

rkmsuf · 01-22-2008, 08:31 AM

Love how Dungy wants the world to know what a great family man he is by almost retiring every year to be with them.

What are you talking about, Dungy is clearly the only head coach who loves his kids. I heard Bellichick beats his with an old shoe.

Kodos · 01-22-2008, 10:08 AM

When he plays cards with his kids, Belichuck stations a camera behind them so he can see their cards.

rkmsuf · 01-22-2008, 10:10 AM

Oh yeah, I bet Dungy stiffs the collection plate at church.

You guys are showing your ignorance. Belichick couldn't possibly reproduce, he has no time for that. He doesn't even remember what women and children are at this point.

Holmgren just announced that he is returning for one last season with the Seahawks. Defensive coaches remain as they were, so Mora doesn't get bumped up to DC the way a lot of the fans had hoped, but is the likely successor to take over next season.

miami_fan · 01-22-2008, 06:15 PM

So is it better to be the HC of the Seahawks or the HC of the Huskies?

MikeVic · 01-25-2008, 03:22 PM

That's odd.

tucker rocky · 01-26-2008, 07:44 PM

On a side note to this thread, Falcons have a new coach, Mike Smith, former DC of the Jaguars. Mike Mularkey is the new OC.

stevew · 02-06-2008, 12:16 PM

Seahawks looking good in next season.....

Quote:

Mora reached a five-year agreement Tuesday that will allow him to transition into the head coaching job with the Seattle Seahawks once Mike Holmgren retires after the season, a source close to Mora told ESPN.com.

Mora will serve the 2008 season as the assistant head coach in charge of the secondary. Once the season is over, Mora, former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, will become the head coach for the next four seasons, according to the contract that was agreed to in principle Tuesday evening.

The Seahawks late Tuesday confirmed a news conference set for noon Wednesday but refused to discuss the topic.

The move wasn't a surprise. General manager Tim Ruskell was looking for a defensive coach to lead the franchise after Holmgren decided he would no longer coach the team. Mora, who played at the University of Washington, wanted to return to the Seattle area to coach. He first suggested the University of Washington, his alma mater. Then the Seahawks came calling with a chance for him to coach the secondary.

Mora's influence in improving the secondary along with improving each of the cornerbacks and safeties was one of the big reasons the Seahawks defense made a dramatic improvement in 2007. He interviewed for the head coaching job with the Washington Redskins but pulled his name out, hoping the Seahawks would make him a "head coach in waiting."

Jim Caldwell worked out a similar deal with the Indianapolis Colts once Tony Dungy decides to retire. Even though the NFL strictly enforces the Rooney Rule that requires teams to interview minority candidates, teams are allowed to promote coaches currently on staff for the future without fear of penalty for not interviewing others.

Now, the Seahawks have a plan in place. Holmgren will coach in 2008. Mora will get the next four years.

I guess every retread gets his day.

Warhammer · 02-06-2008, 12:25 PM

Man, I wish I could flame out like that. Here, sure you sucked in Atlanta, but when I retire, you get the gig...

rkmsuf · 02-06-2008, 12:27 PM

Cross Seattle off after this year.

flere-imsaho · 02-06-2008, 02:14 PM
