Hi Finatics,

There was a great online article posted on the Miami Dolphins site and written by Andy Cohen regarding the Dolphins 2012 Draft. Well written and a great read.

Dolphins 2012 Draft Analysis

Go Dolphins!!!

Hi Finatics!

As most of you rabid football fans already know, the NFL 2012 Regular Season Schedule was released yesterday.  The NFL.com site has a pretty good preliminary analysis of how Miami will do this season. Of course, I think we all need to see how the draft shapes up and what they lookl like AFTER they put on their pads. One thing is for sure, I think this team will be an ANGRY one.

Go Dolphins!

Today, the Miami Dolphins have named Mike Sherman offensive coordinator, ousting Brian Daboll.   Sherman was the head coach of Green Bay from 2000 - 2005.  During his tenor, he had a decent record, bringing the Packers to the playoffs 4 years, and with an overall record of 59 - 43.  Sherman departed Green Bay for Texas A&M in 2005 when the Packers finished the season with a dismal 4-12 record.  His record as head coach at Texas A&M was 25-25.

That makes 2 prominent coaches on staff from Green Bay; the other of course is our new head coach, Joe Philbin.  Interestingly, Philbin, was hired by Sherman in Green Bay.  Now in Miami, Sherman was hired by Philbin.

This move is yet another move ousting out the Dallas regime that has been running the Dolphins for the past 4 years.

2008 saw the arrival of Jeff Ireland, Tony Sparano, Bill Parcells and others from coaches to players leaving Dallas for Miami.  2009 saw the departure or Bill Parcells, and in 2010 and 2011 the house of cards that is the Miami Dolphins has crumbled.

Now that Sparano and Parcells are gone, Ireland still remains.

With Ireland still in the GM roll, most seem to think this was the reason for Jeff Fisher turning down the head coach position to go to the Rams instead.  Apparently Fisher wanted complete control of the team's staffing decisions without confirming with Ireland.  Stephen Ross was recently asked by the media about his love for Ireland; Ross replied, "I have great respect for Jeff Ireland, I like working with him".

Will the new Green Bay regime work in Miami with Jeff Ireland still around?  We'll see this September.
