Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith joined the franchise as part of coach Mike McDaniel’s staff, but here’s a sign that his time in South Florida could be coming to a close. The NFL Players Association released a poll in which 1,700 players ranked the coordinators they play on a scale of 1-10 — ranking Smith as the league’s top OC.

of course then there's this...

Carolina Panthers OC Thomas Brown was voted second, followed by Brian Schottenheimer (Cowboys), Brian Callahan (Cincinnati Bengals), and Kellen Moore (Las Angeles Chargers).

so who knows?

major truth.  The amount of good humans that have been horrific bosses/managers in my life is a LONG list. 

My former brother in law is a fun guy that everybody loves to be around.

Leadership and ability wise, I wouldn't put him in charge of a lemonade stand.

The whole overpromotion thing gets a lot of people.   Lot of people climb out of roles they are great in and into ones they stink at.

Yes. Which is why you shouldn’t limit head coach candidates to the best coordinators. It’s a different job. 

I hold Wilks as my example theoretical excellent head coach (I believe he could be), that I wasn’t a huge fan of as a coordinator.

I actually feel the opposite about Wilks. I think he is a great DC but below average HC. The only reason he had "success" (6-6 record) was because he ran the ball 30 times per game and the players were relieved that Matt Rhule and his corniness was gone.

People forget:

  • Steve Wilks was dogged for being more conservative than Rivera and Fox in 2022.
  • All the times he punted on 4th and short with Foreman in the backfield.
  • Playing off coverage and getting picked apart all season and then getting beat over the top by the Bucs 3 times.
  • Signing Norman and starting Keith Taylor/CJ Henderson instead.
  • His unwavering loyalty to Al Holcombe. 

Better than Rhule? yeah. Better than Reich? Probably. Those are some low ass ceilings.

I hate the first week or so of the search process because it takes a little while to get going and there is so much rumor and guessing going on. Real info won’t start until the next couple weeks. Anyone remember how fast the Panthers were compared to everyone else on the last cycle?

We hired Rhule like January 7th and hired Reich the 26th (but the season was 1 week shorter). 

I think most GMs are hired like 15th-20th and coaches get hired a week or two after that. We probably have a GM this time next week and a HC 2-3 weeks from now. I imagine they will interview GM candidates through the weekend and multiple each day.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
