There are 3 things horribly wrong with the Dolphin job, and those are just the top 3 and NONE of them have anything to do with how much talent is on or off the team. These are the 3 things I'm sure BB warns each of his students to beware of before taking a job.
1. Will the owner be satisfied to do HIS job, not yours. Well he support you during adversity, because adversity will come.'
2. If you are not the GM, then can you work with guy who is. Do you both have the same vision of how to build a team. You don't always have to like the same players, but you must have the same "vision".
3. Is there enough of a leadership corps to build a "team on". Not necessarily the best players but the guyswho you look on to be your leaders in the locker room
THEN you worry about what the roster looks like for talent and who your QB is, etc
Now lets look at Miamis's situation.
a. The owner doesn't do much of anything other than go to games and make stupid statements. He is not a good owner
b. Your boss will be Mike Tannenbaum. - Do I need to say any more.
c. You team leaders are Suh and Tannyhill - Need I say anymore. (BTW - I think Tannyhill is a much better QB than he is a leader.....and Suh......is a narccistic sociopath.
There are some good things about the job. It doesn't snow. Girls run around half naked all the time.....and it's not hard to have someone you don't like killed on the cheap. I think their QB is better than average and still has some upside and you you have 2 very good young receivers. But ultimately you will fail there because of those 3 reasons. It is only the amount of success you get that is yet to be established.
Don't forget that during the bad old days of the 60's 70's and 80's, the Pats STILL managed to have 2 pretty good teams every decade whether we asked for them or not.
Lets not forget that BB came by these rules from hard experiences that we all know well. Belechick couldn't sign his resignation from the Jets fast enough after he got a closer look at Woody Johnson, and NOTHING Johnson has done in the least 16 years would change that opinion.....just confirm it. Kraft at least got better at his job, and left BB to do HIS job.
I'm sure Patricia and McDaniels both want to be HC's in the league before Goodell completely manages to destroy it. However I'm very happy that they both stayed away from Miami, and I'm sure Bill is too.
