Ursa Majoris Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I've wondered over the past couple of years if Vikings fans would rather have Tice back than Childress. Tice did wind up with a winning record over his two years, working for that cheap bastard Red McCombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturphy Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 cheap bastard Red McCombs That must be why he scalped his tickets? I struggle mightly with this one. Especially, if they actually hire him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantasy Jesus Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Contrary to published reports, the Dolphins have not asked the Jaguars permission to interview assistant head coach Mike Tice. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/footbal...0,7683039.story Expect Sparano to be named HC any day now.

Randall Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Maybe they want Tice to run the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Cornelius Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 i actually think tice did a great job with what he had... witch was next to nuthing.. most viking fans are so vanilla that if a bud grant did come back and he lost 2 games in a row they would bitch and want him fired...

ROYALWITCHEESE Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm in the minority, but I actually thought Tice did a decent job in Minny. I thought he got the short end of the stick after that "love boat" deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious_bass Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Tice was not (and probably is still not) ready to be a head coach in the NFL. He only got the gig here because he was the cheapest option for a cheapskate owner. I think he demonstrated rather effectively during his tenure that he doesnt have the ability to make strategic decisions on the fly nor evaluate what is working vs what is not and make adjustments. He is better suited to be a line coach or assistant coach because he does seem to have good chemistry with the players and does have knowlege of the game from a player's POV.

Give him another chance. But, instead of Miami, how about Detroit? Or back to Minn? Bears? Seriously, if you were rebuilding the Dolphins from the ground up, and you could hire A LOT of different quallity guys, would you hire Tice (edit: as head coach )? Is that what I'm hearing? Of course, it now sounds like that report may be bogus and sanity has carried the day. Edited January 14, 2008 by Sturphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I don't think Tice would be a terrible OC. I dunno, OC has always struck me as being fairly complex and Tice is nothing if not a......simple man. I can't imagine him owning a 250-play playbook somehow. He ain't kno incherlektual.

Fantasy Jesus Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 "MIAMI -- At least one Dallas Cowboys player referred to assistant head coach Tony Sparano in the past tense Monday, because he may soon change teams. The front-runner for the Miami Dolphins' head coaching job, Sparano became available for hire when the Cowboys lost their playoff game Sunday to the New York Giants. "Tony was an unbelievable coach," Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said. "He'll be a great head coach, and this team will definitely miss him if he gets that opportunity." On Monday, Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz became the fourth candidate to interview with the Dolphins. He may be the last candidate considered. Sparano, who worked with new Dolphins boss Bill Parcells and new general manager Jeff Ireland when they were in Dallas, interviewed Jan. 5 with Miami. The Dolphins also interviewed Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan." http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3196640 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
