Hypothetical: What Happens Next?

Let's say Tepper decides to pull the trigger on Rhule after the Saints game puts us at 0-3 with a 57-10 thrashing.

If we look at what's happened with other teams -- doesn't one of the Asst Coaches step up to fill the void until the end of the season? 

There's no reason/way for Tepper to hire a new HC immediately, right?  A combination of inability to recruit from any other team mid-season along with the Rooney Rule, doesn't that severely limit the number of available coaches who could come in immediately?

Tepper will use the opportunity to tank and get as high a draft pick as possible and fire Rhule either after the season or very late in the year.

Not likely with the Miami ownership situation for suggesting exactly that.   https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/02/us/nfl-miami-dolphins-suspend/index.html

If / when he is fired, promote Wilks, I think he'd relate most to the players and could also take over the defensive play-calling, as you'd have to imagine Snow would leave with Rhule. 

I think we'd also see a shift in where guys line up on defense, we had Burns drop 15 times into coverage....why?

Littleton / Shaq are known more so for their ability to cover why are we LITERALLY dropping our best rusher into coverage....? Do that crap with Luvu or Haynes if you want to disguise a zone pressure.

I think if Rhule is fired, Snow is probably gone with him. In that case, I'd rather Wilks be promoted to DC to handle the defense full time and keep McAdoo as OC. Promote Tabor to interim HC (he has experience leading Chicago as interim HC for one game last year due to COVID) and probably easy enough to elevate an assistant to full time ST coach.
