CardinalScotts Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 exactly let me see the Bills didn't hire him as a head coach and what NFL team did ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora reports the Dolphins have agreed to terms with Mike Sherman as offensive coordinator and Kevin Coyle as defensive coordinator. Sherman won three division titles as Packers head coach from 2000-2005, breaking the franchise record for rushing in 2003 and for passing in 2004. Sherman has used the West Coast offense at every coaching stop and figures to be the primary play-caller in Miami. Texas A&M prospect Ryan Tannehill, widely considered the third-best QB in the draft, played under Sherman and could be an option for the Dolphins. A coaching veteran of 35 years, Coyle is expected to bring a 4-3 scheme. http://www.rotoworld.com/sports/nfl/football?r=1 Not to mention he was Marv Levy's second choice at HC, stated he knocked his socks off in his interview for the Bills HCing job. Still don't know why Levy / Wilson hired Jauron He was my choice over Jauron and had we had him we would have gone to the playoffs. But the fins are mess so he might not have too much success down there Hopefully they spend the #9 pick on Tannenhill (sorry Barbarian), and Upshaw or another star slides to us. Dolphins got a good OC though. Even more reason to load up on Defense. They just might, which would make Cohen's days as he could see him8 times a year in sunny south Florida as a closet Miami fan I wished Marv hired Sherman. I think there were 2 reasons Sherman did not get the job. 1) Jauron reminded Marv of himself and 2) Sherman had more NFL front office experience than Marv. I am surprised that no one has made him a head coach again. As for Koyle, why would an Offensive Coordinator with no head coaching experience hire someone with no experience as a coordinator to run his defense. This is always my pet peeve with new coaches. Don't worry he will get another chance up here and then we can finally run the football like we are supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The Packers were in the playoffs 4 of Sherman's 6 years vs 3 of McCarthy's 6 years. Sherman had 57 wins, McCarthy 55. Sherman had 1 HOF QB, McCarthy had 2. If the Packers had picked JP Losman as Favre's backup, McCarthy would have been gone a few seasons ago. A lot easier to argue when you completely make up things. Sherman went 57-39 (.594 win % and 25-25 in college as well) and 2-4 in the playoffs. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/SherMi0.htm McCarthy has gone 63-33 (.656) and 5-2 in the playoffs. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/McCaMi0.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Or as clones on the Jim Rome show would chime in: "Mike Sherman that pear shaped loser!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 At the end of the day the fish have made some strong moves in an attempt to improve. Time will tell, but on paper anyway the moves would appear to be good ones. The Bills have fired a DC and assigned those duties to the asst. HC, which on paper would also appear to be a good move. So far anyway, to me the fish appear to be the team making the stronger move to improve. But it is still very early in the process. Get er done Buddy, show me the baby.

The Dols made moves, but whether they're "strong" on the offensive side (going from Nolan to Coyles is a huge downgrade for sure) remains to be seen.

True enough. But one thing is for sure, this is ChaNix year 3 coming up and it's baby time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 You give me Ahman Green and Brett Favre, Javon Walker (Pre-Injury), & Donald Driver and I'll give you some offense. But yeah he is a good OC. Don't be too surprised if he sticks with Matt Moore after some OTA. (Can you still do OTAs with new CBA) QB wasn't the problem in MIami in my opinion. I don't think a rookie Tannenhill at #9 helps the Dolphins get better, quickly; or is much better than Matt Moore. With some development Tannenhill could be great or could be John Beck. So I hope they screw it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never NEVER Give-up Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Sherman has been offered how many HC jobs since? Agreed - and if he was so good in Green Bay, why did they wave good-bye to hiim?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I find this question amusing--as if GMs and owners always pick the right HC and never pass on a good prospect. There were 7 HC spots up for grabs this year, of those 6 were at well established coaching revolving door teams: Tampa (3 HCs in 4 years), Rams (5 in 4 yrs), Dolphins (3 in 6), Colts (3 in 5), Oakland (5 in 7 and 7 in 10 yrs!!), KC (4 in 5). Add in others: SF (6 in 8 yrs), Cleve (3 in 4) and Buff (4 in 8) and its clear these guys who pick HCs are awful at it. Dungy: 6 years Gruden: 7 years Morris: 3 years I'd hardly call Tampa a "coaching revolving door" and a team that "missed" on HC hires. They missed on Raheem Morris, but aside from that, the Glazers have done a pretty good job at picking coaches.You're doing nothing but twisting your numbers by counting a coach that was fired as 1 coach in 1 year. Typical WEO lies. Edited January 31, 2012 by Ramius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
