Mr. Huizenga, Here's What You Need To Do ...


Okay Mr. Huizenga. You want my advice … here it is ... In THREE EASY STEPS:

You recently flew to Costa Rica to meet with USC head coach Pete Carroll. Carroll himself confirmed that the two of you met for 4 hours. And this is what he had to say about you and your search for a new head coach:

"[Wayne Huizenga] has structured a program where the head coach has the entire say, from top to bottom.”
And,
"It's a one-voice program. I don't think there are any other situations like that in the NFL."
And,
"This was the only time I've even thought about talking with anybody [from the NFL]. Here's a situation where a guy would give a head coach the opportunity to do anything he wanted to do. He's an awesome guy."

And therein lies your dilemma. First off, anyone who uses the phrase “he’s an awesome guy” should automatically be eliminated from your list of coaching prospects. No one here wants someone who talks like a 15 year old baton twirler coaching the Miami Dolphins.

Secondly, and really this is what’s MOST IMPORTANT, Carroll just showed you what your biggest problem is through his very statements. He said that you have a program where the coach has all the say. And he’s right – there is no other program like it in the NFL, at least not one that is successful. It just won't work, sir.

You said you wanted our opinions. You had your staff e-mail the season ticket holders for their input. Well here’s mine. And, really, this is not a revelation. I haven’t discovered a magic formula. This formula is something most respected sports columnists, radio personalities and knowledgeable fans here in Miami have all said should be done – because it’s the right thing to do. I just broke it down in more detail for you.

So, finally, here’s what you do -- IN THREE EASY STEPS:

1.) Hire Floyd Reese as the new General Manager of the Miami Dolphins. Reese just finished a successful tenure as the Tennessee Titans’ GM. From 1999-2000, under Reese’s watch, no other team had as many victories as the Titans. He is responsible for drafting players like Eddie George, Steve McNair and, recently, 2006 NFL Rookie of the Year, Vince Young. Of the 75 players Reese drafted from 1999-2006, 36 of them finished the season on the team's roster – that’s 48%. 3rd-best percentage in the NFL behind only the Bengals and Ravens. He decided not to renew his contract and is now a free agent. Unless you can work your powers of persuasion and convince Scott Pioli to leave New England for sunny South Beach, Floyd should be your man.

2.) Hire a current NFL assistant coach as the new head coach of the Miami Dolphins. I have some suggestions but if you hire Reese (or Pioli), I’m sure he’ll know who to target. Don’t get lured by the big name college coach, like a Pete Carroll. It's the deadly Siren Song, Mr. Huizenga. Don't do it. Look, we appreciate the sentiment but, frankly, we’re a little tired of the big name guys. Again, someone like Reese will know what to do. But the point is, stick with picking an NFL assistant -- even if they have no prior head coaching experience. There's a long history of current successful head coaches that were once NFL assistants with zero head coaching experience: Mike Holmgren, Andy Reid, Brian Billick, Bill Cowher, Marvin Lewis, Eric Mangini, Sean Payton, just to name a few.

3.) When in doubt, look no further than our division rival New England Patriots. Bill Belichick has a lot of power over personnel. But he trusts Pioli and allows him to make the decisions on who the team should draft, sign, cut, and trade. A good example includes Tom Brady, who was drafted in the 6th round of the 2000 Draft – Pioli’s first draft with the Patriots. Three Super Bowl titles later, the Patriots are the standard by which others should follow. This should include our Dolphins. The main thing is that Belichick and Pioli work in harmony, have the same philosophy and share the common goal: Winning above all else.


Eliminate your current thinking, Mr. Huizenga. The head coach as CEO thing does not work in the NFL. When people think of the Patriots, they think of two names: Bill Belichick head coach, Scott Pioli, head of personnel. Giving a head coach all the power and all the say has proven to be unfruitful for you as Dolphins owner. Jimmy Johnson, Dave Wannstedt, Nick Saban – all of them had final say or total control and all of them failed you.
So there you have it. It’s pretty simple. Hire a General Manager and give him personnel control. Then hire a coach who will work well with that GM. Then sit back, light up a stogie and get ready to celebrate.

Comments:
Dude I love your ideas and agree with you. I have said from the beginning the changes need to start at the top first.
 
Everyone seems to agree with this formula. Everyone except Wayne Huiezenga. When I read what Pete Carroll said I got so pissed. I was hoping this ownership would learn its lesson from the past. F#!% morons!
 
I think Wayne asking for help from the fans was just a PR sham. He knows what he wants. He said so during his press conference. He wants to make the head coach the CEO of his team and make him responsible for everything. I think they're going to keep Randy Muller and have him work with the new coach but the new coach is going to have all the say.

The more things change...
 
Got this off the ESPN chat room with Bill Simmons:

Q: How excited are you to potentially have Pete Carroll coaching against your Patriots twice a year?

Bill Simmons: Pumped and jacked! This is like Doc Rivers going to the University of Kentucky, winning a couple of NCAA titles, then everyone assuming he's figured it out and could make a great NBA coach again.
 
Long time reader, first time commenter:

Under your forumla, Dude, I think the ideal coaching candidate would be Mike Martz. Hear me out: Dolphins get a strong GM/personnel guy, give Dom Capers a raise and have him focus 100% on the defense. Then Martz could coach the team and call the plays (like a Holmgren, Reid, Billick, etc) from the sidelines. On top of that, Wayne gives Martz a well respected assistant coach to help him with the intangibles.
 
I think Randy Mueller is fine as our GM. He's not bad as a talent evaluater. His hands were basically tied under Saban. But I agree that Wayne is going to do things his way and we just have to take it. I agree with jason about Mike Martz.
 
Did anybody listen to Joe Bailey on The Ticket last night?

Sweet baby Jesus, what a putz.
 
My question is when is Mr. Huizenga gonna hire the DUDE as VP of Football Operations...

oh! and umm,...Mr. Huizenga? HIRE FUCKIN' FLOYD REESE ALREADY!!!
 
I work at a bar and can't catch the radio until I head home. Brigadier Pudding, I didn't catch Bailey. What did he say?

I did manage to watch PTI here at work and Wilbon and Kornheiser BOTH agree with what we're all saying about Huezenga: that he's not learning from his mistakes by looking to give his coach total control. Wilbon laughed when Tony told him Martz was next on the interview list.

He said: "You'd give the mad scientist full control?"

I hope Wayne has DirecTV on his plane. Or at least internet access.

- Jay
 
What I want to know is what the hell is Wayne doing bothering with Tim Lewis of the Giants??? This wreaks of desperation. Again the right GM in place would make me feel better about Wayne's cross country quest for another guy who will fuck up this franchise even more.
 
Roro Kid: I point my beer at you in salute! Party in the owner's box every week and you're all invited!

Jason: Welcome to the comments section. You make some good points. I have a feeling that Martz will be the guy. Just a hunch. But it would be a disaster if Wayne gave him all the power. I guess we'll see ... I do agree wholeheartedly that we need to keep Capers down here as our defensive coordinator.
 
I think I could live with Martz so long as he knows he has people (read: a general manager) above him that he answers to (to keep his ego in check), and doesn't have *any* personnel power (seriously, his drafts with the Rams were a flat out joke) and Capers stays on as DC.

Yeah, all that is not happening.

Anybody know why these idiots haven't/didn't interview Mike Singletary? Sure he's inexperienced but the man exudes leadership and intensity. Seems like just the ticket!
 
Hi Miami Sports Dude...

Can you help me? I would like your predictions on who will win the Superbowl, but really analyze it for me. I posted an answer to this article I read on NowPublic where I am an editor..but I know nothing about the Superbowl, as I am also Canadian...and I was laughed at by a Bears fan! So will you tell me what to say?

Thanks!

Victoria

Oh here's the article....

http://www.nowpublic.com/miami_miami_miami_who_is_going
 
The proper url:

http://www.nowpublic.com/miami_miami_miami_who_is_going
 
Victoria: I think the Bears fan laughed at you because you chose the Seahawks. The Bears are playing the Seahawks this weekend and the Seahawks seem to be the weakest team left.

I really don't know who will win the Superbowl. There are still 8 teams left and all 8 teams can take it this weekend. If I had to pick one right now, I'd say the Chargers.

But you put me in a bit of a spot. The article you linked to seems to be good as far as how I'm leaning. But as of right now, I can't say with certainty who will win the Super Bowl.

I'll probably post my weekend predictions Sat. morning so if you can get something out of that, then go ahead.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Thanks for stopping by the blog.
