ha. that's funny. Max Duggan does kinda suck though. he's was so obviously not even NFL back-up QB caliber. which just makes that loss in the playoff that much more painful. JJ really f'ed that one up for Michigan with his two pick 6's and the fumble and turnover on the 1 yard line when Michigan was about to go in for a TD. JJ was basically solely responsible for a 21 point swing in that game. the defense also missed like what seemed 1000 tackles that game. CB DJ Turner missed I think two that wound up leading to big TD's for TCU. how that kid got drafted in the 2nd round and someone like Josh Wallace didn't even get drafted at all is beyond me. Oh I know how....DJ ripped off a 4.25-40 at the combine and Wallace ran 4.69. I watched every snap both played at Michigan. Josh Wallace was just flat out better at playing football, way more physical, a much better tackler, and a smarter more heads up CB than DJ Turner in college.

It's amazing how many bad coaches and failed retreads Miami has gone through since Shula retired.  Seems like maybe they finally got a dude

Miami is kind of my second team, in large part because I was such a massive Marino fan- not because I live there. And yeah, Miami definitely had a really bad run of hiring duds. Including Brian Flores, who thought he was Bill Belichik. Turns out he's not. 

Mike McDaniel is a HELL of a coach. He basically single handedly resurrected Tua's career and the Dolphins are one of the most fun offenses in the entire NFL to watch.

Don't forget that POS loser Nick Saban!

We don't get much Bears here, which is probably for the better. We get more Bucs than Dolphins, which was great when Brady was playing. Now I would prefer more Dolphins.

I'm not going to buy the NFL thing.

well his defenses were legit. he was around .500 coach in two seasons. Nick was a failure because: Nick quit on the team and he quit on them way too early before he was actually able to build a program up. Nick wanted to sign Drew Brees to be his QB. Nick got overruled by ownership because of Brees' medicals and they signed Daunte Culpepper instead. Big mistake. Nick knew this was a mistake as soon as he got Culpepper in camp and saw Culpepper actually play football, and by the end of that year Nick was like fuck this shit I'm out. 

Dolphins sign Drew Brees with Nick holding down the defense- that's a perennial contender and Nick don't quit after just two seasons.

Bama really has the Dolphins doctors/brass refusing to sign Drew Brees for their run. Talk about good luck.

Dax Hill all day long. Dax taller, longer, thicker/bigger with more mass/muscle, way more physical, much better tackler- really doesn't miss very many tackles- plus he'll get up and lay the wood and smack somebody. Also has better ball skills than DJ Turner. Dax isn't quite 4.25 fast- but he did run in the 4.3's in the combine I think- and he's a lot bigger.

Not sure what DJ Turner really does well except for run extremely fast and stick close to WR's who aren't as fast as he is. his ball skills are MEH and he doesn't get interceptions. he's smallish and his tackling is atrocious.

I think Hill will win the job. He didn't really work out at safety, but seems like they like him more at corner

Makes sense. Dax played more nickel/slot corner than he did safety in college. Dax played 739 snaps his last year at Michigan, the highest on the team. 531 snaps were at nickel/slot corner, 16 at outside corner, 112 up in the box, and just 63 at deep safety.

he does kinda look like a coke dealer....

That's all well and good, but he's got a bad roster that's in cap hell with a starting QB that is fighting an injury to his plantar facia.
