Best offensive coordinator?

[Cat'sGrowl]

Hemming proved in Miami that he is better than he was allowed to be here.

My father, the Phins fan, would heartily disagree.

I lol every time I hear him complain to me about the same thing that we use to complain about for the duration of Henning's tenure here.

Feeding the stud?

Running when you should be passing.

Passing when you should be running.

It's not just a Fox thing. It's a Henning thing too.

[Raskle]

Wait.. we've actually had a best OC?

I'm sorry, but I'd have to rephrase this question to "who has sucked the least as the OC over our entire history as a franchise?"

[Mr. Scot]

Of that bunch, Henning, but it's not like he was especially great here either.

Blame Fox if you want, but Henning made mistakes too.

Henning.

Hands Down.

I remember that season. Steve Beuerlein looked like he was out of this world in the second half of that season when Haskell opened up the playbook

[magnus]

Haskell presided over the best season, but it was a team effort. Musgrave had tremendous input, and Seifert went over the O game plans with Musgrave. Haskell made the calls, but Musgrave had input and Seifert was usually the one with final say on things like deep calls.

that worked out so well because Haskell was a typical, but boring, WCO guy who called the stuff that fed Moose, Musgrave did the creative stuff, and Seifert would make the creative calls.

Why didn't it work? George thought Musgrave could do it all, and let Haskell go to Seattle where he preferred to go. We never replaced Musgrave as QBs coach, so Musgrave was doing three jobs (administrating the O, calling plays, and gameplanning) instead of one, along with coaching QBs as well. We should've hired a QBs coach.

Between that, and Beuerlein waiting forever to get shoulder surgery done (June 2000, instead of February) followed by partially tearing the shoulder in the season opening game against Washington, that totally screwed that offense and that regime until it mercifully ended 23 games later.

Great post.

Have we one a Superbowl................. then they all did a bad job

[Davidson Deac II]

yes. the rungame that henning had to work with in 2005 was attrocious, and we still made it to the playoffs on the arm of jake D and smitty.

Along with an excellent turnover ratio. We were second in the league with 19 fumbles recovered. And fourth in the league in the number of interceptions we got. The biggest reason the offense performed as well as it did was they had a lot of short fields that year. Kasay had 27 or 28 field goals.

Am I the only one who hated Henning while he was here?

No, but then again you aren't the only one who doesn't realize Fox is to blame.

Henning's biggest issue was a team that generally wasn't tough, a team that ran the ball well for one season and part of another, and couldn't develop any talent. 2006 was the type team Henning wanted, and it just didn't work out that well. We went with the same offense, run by a guy who came here to fix the run. He did that, for better or worse.
