DaFreak Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 He has to be the worst coach in the NFL...As a Ronnie Brown owner it was frustrating to watch him let Harrington throw the ball all day long...He has no business being an NFL head coach... I hate this game!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate this game!!!!!! Not sure if he's the worse coach, but he's certainly in the running this season. Didn't care for his comments after the game when he took no blame for the lost.

DaFreak Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) from sunsentinel.com Time to clean house Let's be honest, this team is a mess. The offense is in shambles. The defense is old. And quite frankly, neither show any signs of improving anytime soon. With the season spiraling out of control, here's some observations heading into the bye week: What will it take for Mike Mularkey to establish a running game? Ronnie Brown only got 15 carries against the Packers, continuing a sad trend for an offense that was built around running the ball. Brown also was noticeably not on the field for several third-down plays. I think it's fair to say the offensive play-calling has been terrible all season. Simply put, Mularkey has done a poor job of utilizing his talent. What will it take for Mularkey to get Chris Chambers involved in the offense? He inexplicably didn't have a catch until the fourth quarter. The Packers certainly found a way to get Donald Driver the ball (10 catches for 93 yards and a touchdown). Why can't the Dolphins do that with Chambers? The receivers drop too many balls, with Randy McMichael and Derek Hagan leading the way. Will Allen has been a disappointment, unable to come up with several interceptions. Renaldo Hill gets beaten too frequently at nickel cornerback. Marty Booker trips himself up too many times. The lack of speed in the secondary is alarming (Yes, Ahman Green was playing with a sore hamstring). The Dolphins (1-6) don't have any difference makers or game-breakers on offense. On defense, Jason Taylor is the only player that fits that description. The defensive backs are constantly in position to make plays, but rarely do. When asked if he has any prime-time players following Sunday's loss, Nick Saban said, "If they play like they're capable of, I do." He then alluded to Ricky Williams and Daunte Culpepper, respectively, when he said, "Some of them are not playing. There’s one playing in Canada and one that’s hurt right now." Saban's drafts the last two years have been unimpressive. With this team built to win now, it's pretty obvious next season will be a true rebuilding year with no expectations.

Saban's drafts the last two years have been unimpressive. With this team built to win now, it's pretty obvious next season will be a true rebuilding year with no expectations. Holy crap. What a fairy tale. Who wrote this tripe, and did someone actually publish it? MIA has the 6th best overall D in the NFL right now, being 13th best against the run & 5th best against the pass, and the 14th best scoring D. This D overall is either a top 10 D or is right on the cusp of being one. MIA doesn't have difference makings on O? Did he mean no difference makers other than Brown, Chambers, or McMichaels, who are all very good players at their respective positions. Then you add Booker, who is a solid #2 WR and emerging WRs Welker & Hagan, and you have the recipe for a pretty damn fine team. Even if the line isn't very good, a HC ought to be able to generate something with the O skill players they have - using quick drops or misdirection if nothing else, to get the ball into the skill players' hands and let them do their thing. This is not a bad team - on the contrary, on paper, they ought to be at least where the Jets are in the standings right now, especially when you consider that their schedule to date has included PIT, BUF, TEN, HOU, & GB - hardly a murderers' row of NFL teams this year. From what I have seen of MIA, they are being seriously & significantly undercoached. Their offense looks like a college O, and that simplistic of an O will get cut to pieces in the NFL (which consequently it has been). Saban is in love with passing the ball, which limits what Brown can do for the O, and when they do pass they won't get the ball into easy patterns to Brown on flares & in the flats where he can use his ability in open space. Saban runs his WR routes about 3-5 yards too deep for his O-line to protect, which puts his QBs in bad situations & leads to turnovers. It's fun to blame this all on Mularkey, but it is my understanding that the OC answers to the HC. If Saban didn't think Brown was getting the ball enough, why didn't he simply walk over to Mularkey on the sidelines and say, "Get Brown the F'n ball, idiot!" or something similar? To be honest, the team doesn't even look ready to play on Sundays. The problems start at the top - and that's not Mularkey - that's Saban.

piratesownninjas Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Last year and this pre season you guys were calling him a genius. This is what happens when one of the best oc's leaves town and you bring in Mularkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulOttCarruth Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 The other story might be Scott Linehan's effectivness as a coach. 2004 Vikings ranked 6th in total offense under Linehan 2005 Vikings ranked 19th the year after he departed 2004 Dolphins ranked 28th w/o Linehan 2005 Dolphins ranked 16th w/ Linehan 2006 Dolphins rank 27th w/o Linehan 2005 Rams started 2-4 w/o Linehan 2006 Rams are 4-2 w/Linehan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke davenport Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Blame it on Mularkey. Hes a waste of a coach. Yup! As a fellow Bills' homer and Brown owner, I feel particularly victimized by Mularkey's crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepinmofo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Yup! As a fellow Bills' homer and Brown owner, I feel particularly victimized by Mularkey's crap. When he was coach of the Bills, I named my team Full of Mularkey. Guess how my team did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
