It's funny that with all the coach firings this year that the fans of each team are happy their coach is gone, while the other coachless teams are salivating at the prospect of getting someone like Harbaugh.

The excitement about the other coaches is pretty retarded though, I don't think Gannon or Morris would improve any team they went to.

Just comes from people not really watching games so they just follow the narrative from sports journos and social media.

Harbaugh is an elite coach, McDaniel is an offensive mastermind, etc. (nevermind Miami's offense was putting up similar numbers to Flores' last season there...)
 
Yeah I've seem a lot of people give McDaniel shit for the Dolphins, but I think the dolphins problems are more complex than just a head coach. I do agree last few years he wasn't the greatest head coach wise, but I think it's just more so he is more suited well as a Offensive coach at least for a little longer before trying Head coach again. that's what I would like to see with McDaniel, take a step back for a few years doing OC for a team with a HC he can connect with and kind of watch them in how they tenure as a HC.

There is also some teams out there too with no HC or OC, so you might see something wild like a Harbaugh HC and a McDaniels OC for a team. Which I usually wouldn't think would happen, but this season has been a season of unpredictability.
 
I would rather see Harbaugh retire than get stuck with an even shittier team and get humiliated further. Can we get some fresher blood? So much of the NFL coaching staff looks ready for Biden bed time.

I have a feeling that the days of long-tenured coach are coming to an end. The sport changes way too much now and days. You constantly need fresh blood and the next great mind in order to get ahead.

Lot of social media coaches. All hype, no on field performance.

I don't know if it's an "old man yells at clouds" situation but it doesn't seem like any of the fired head coaches (and the majority of HCs in the league currently) have an aggressive, disciplined mindset. Most seem to want to be friends with their players rather than motivating them to go out and Just Win, Baby(tm).

Harbaugh will build you a culture. It might not be the culture you want, but it'll be there. He'll probably win too, if the GM is good. But that's the rub.. is the GM good? Baltimore is such a desired gig because the owner doesn't give a fuck until he has to. He only fired Billick because he lost the locker room, so there's a precedent set with Baltimore where if the players are happy, the big boss is happy, and he won't come snooping in your stew pot.

It's really hard for me to fathom a GM having the amount of influence responsible to do this, but I will say that early in the season, it looked like McDaniel had totally lost the locker room. Tua was braindead, Miami players were giving up on plays and jogging routes left and right, and McDaniel himself looked like a dead man walking.
Grier gets fired? The team turns it around and starts trying again. Go on a run. Then Tua finally gets benched and they're a little all over the place.
 
I think it'll be a HOU v. SEA superbowl. It's honestly a toss up on who goes in the AFC, but I'm gonna give it to HOU in the hopes they burn down the city in celebration. Seattle because I'm super biased. I MISS YOU SAMMY! I still think the organization made the right move, but I'm glad he has found success elsewhere. Go win the big one Sam!

With all the coaching news I have a dream that I know won't happen, but I'll dream about it until reality crushes me. We fire KOC, promote Brian Flores to HC, and hire McDaniel as our OC. Heads up next year we take on the Dolphins and if this happens make sure Tua ain't playing because he will fucking die.

I'd rather have HOU vs. SEA than the Jaguars, who more than any other AFC team scare the pants off of me.
I remember thinking when they played the 49ers "oh this team is actually good, not just beating up on a hospital ward good", and then I caught their game against the Broncos, where they roflstomped that team in their own stadium, and they made the Jaguars that held off the 49ers two months earlier look like a college squad
 
Fuuuuuck I was really hoping we'd keep McDaniel another year. He is legit a great offensive coordinator and he's definitely been hampered by Tua getting his brains scrambled. With a competent quarterback we could be seeing them put up winning seasons again, but I guess Harbaugh is apparently too good of an opportunity to miss or so it seems.

Tua is GONE gone, man. The cracks were already starting to show last year but previous goodwill prevailed after he got us to the playoffs three years in a row. For me personally the real "come to Jesus" moment was the blowout loss to the Browns in Week 7. Starting the season 1-5 is humiliating enough, but at least we were losing to GOOD teams. Losing by 25 points to the fucking Browns??? It was pretty obvious that Tua was quickly becoming far more of a liability than an asset. That's the problem: When Tua is good, he's really fucking good. But he's so inconsistent from game to game and even play to play that he's clearly just not a sustainable QB anymore. He'll throw a 30something yard pass to Waddle who immediately runs it in for a TD, or he'll chuck it directly into the hands of an opposing player for a pick 6. Starting Tua has become the NFL version of a roulette wheel, where you can't say with any level of certainty what exactly he's gonna do on any given play.

Of course now there's the problem where everyone thought this dude was gonna be the next Dan Marino and the Dolphins guaranteed him the GDP of a small island nation up to 2028. That's a HUGE chunk of our annual cap space wasted for the next few years. I really want to believe in the Dolphins, but unless they get some insanely lucky draft pick or make some improbably good trades, we're going to be fucking ass in 2026 at the very least. I am fully prepared for us to go like 3 and 14 next year.

When our offense was on, it was a thing of beauty. The problem has Tua's decisionmaking taking a nosedive from the concussions and making him throw dumb ints and the players being undisciplined and fucking up motion constantly and drawing flags which killed drives. That's why I think him going to Detroit as the OC would be a nightmare for opposing teams because he would instill the discipline the scheme needs to work.

It's survivable if we get a decent GM. The Broncos are still paying Wilson the most out of any player and they're the top seed.

Also, the Dolphins lost to Dillon Gabriel lead Browns among all teams to lose. Their defense up until the mid-point of the season was playing terribly. Tua just so happened to also suck ass during the first couple of games, and he continued to play marginally better to terrible.

I'll be honest, "disciplined" isn't a word I would associate with McDaniel, but I also don't watch the Dolphins that closely. I will say that the loss of Ben Johnson has absolutely neutered the Lions, so a quality OC like McDaniel would absolutely make them a threat to the NFC North.

I'm guessing @Dragged Into Sunlight means Dan Campbell would keep the offense in line 'cause yeah McDaniel can't. Tua fell off this season but also receivers were running wrong routes and it was kind of a clusterfuck.

Lions' roster is an okay fit for his system. The receivers aren't really what he's used to but he can probably work with that.
 
Mendoza wrapped up being first pick in the draft. He was most likely going to be regardless, but no debate anymore. The Raiders need a franchise QB and Mendoza has everything you're looking for.
Big questions about Moore now. I know Indiana is an extremely good team, but Moore was rattled from start to finish. Still going to be picked in the top 5.
