This off season has such an underwhelming selection of coaching candidates 
I think McCoy was our top candidate but now that ship has sailed. Don't care, he didn't impress me anyway. He gets zero credit for this season so it really comes down to the transition from Orton to Tebow. So now I imagine it's between Horton and Haley. As I've said before, Horton I'd be happy to give a shot if he could just get a solid OC but I doubt he can draw anyone notable. He had the connection with Turner but seems he's going to CLE to coach with his son. Ugh. Oh well, at least the nightmare of ignoring the OL and championing Brown as the LT of the forever is over and we can hopefully figure out the QB situation within the next few seasons.

The Dolphins won it in '08. And I'm not saying the Pats haven't dominated the division for a little over a decade.

My cat friend, BelieveLand. Come into my Believe triangle.
I support this. Sorry harson.
Congrats to Cutler in advanced, he'll beat Drews passing yards in a season record with Arians calling the shots.
Not-so-secret uniform nerd.

Looks kinda like a baseball logo, I don't hate it though
Good. He can fix Cutler.I do not do not do not want Arians.

Is Lacy coming out for the draft?

Oh yeah when Brady was hurt.
The Pats are definitely not the only team that benefits from about easy schedule. The AFC is terrible overall.
I just think people would actually like to see them contested.
Why did he go to 11 teams over 20 years at various levels in his career and never once get a promotion until he was finally banished to a joke league?
Just seems like a bizarre choice. His last "QB guru" job resulted in cycling through three starters who had a combined TD/INT ratio of 19/26. Jake Plummer was abysmal when Trestman was his QB coach.
What's his big win?

It happens. Look at Warner he got passed over until making a name in the Arena League.
Trestman also won two titles in five years as head coach in the CFL.
Sources say the Panthers offered Toub their ST job, but he's likely to go to the Chiefs to reunite with Reid
lame duck coaches suck. i imagine this is the last year owners have to learn this lesson. jets and panthers just can't get anyone

Yeah well I'm a pretty active member of the "People who would like to see the Pats challenged" club so I know what you're saying. But it's not like the rest of the AFC is doing very well at that come playoff time either.

What are you saying?
The amount of salt that would come from such a tag would be pretty funny.
Outside of Jay Gruden who is the last guy to come out of a pseudo-pro league as a coach and succeed? Also look at my edit. Jake Plummer, Sage Rosenfels, AJ Feely...guy is a clown. Bears are going cheap again.
So, you're an active member of piss-poor arguments? You can use that nonsense against the majority of the league. It's the first segment in loser sports radio.

Steelers to investigate injury bug. Read: Shine up that kinesiology diploma you got at the U of Phoenix.
Oh boy. I wish I was in Chicago right now, just to read the troll columns in the Tribune.
These fuckers are almost as bad as the Smiths.

You morons realize the Jets beat the Pats in the playoffs in 2010? AFC West and NFC North are both worst divisions, but really who cares? Beatem in the postseason if you want to see them contested. Bill is just by far the best coach in the league, of course he's going to dominate.

Huh? I want the Dolphins to be better, is that so confusing a concept?
he has a lot of nfl experience, he didn't make his name in the cfl.
Edit: those guys suck, i agree and I don't think money has anything to do with it though selecting him.
That has nothing to do with the quote in your post. Of course people want their or rival teams to be better.
He has proven to be a winner already as a head coach. All these coaching options are guesses. You never really know if a new coach will be good until he takes the job. Look at McCarthy. He sucked as a coordinator but has ended up a decent head coach.

I want the Dolphins to be better so that they can challenge the Pats. I really don't understand what else you're getting out of that.
It's not an argument.
Except that wasn't the original point.

What argument do you think I was trying to make?
Mine too! If Trestman hadn't sabotaged his career early on he may have been one of the greats.

Come playoff time, the Patriots have worked out all of the wrinkles and blemishes in their systems and are running on all cylinders. Even still they are gifted wins. Did anybody seriously expect Tebow to walk into Foxborough and beat them last year?
I'll say again, the Patriots are a good football team, and Belichick is hands down the best coach in the league. The fact remains though, like any team they are the most vulnerable at the beginning of the season, when they run into hopeless teams like the Jets and Bills who all happen to be in their division.
Besides QB, nothing kills a team like OL injuries. Hard to sustain drives when it's a crap shoot that the backup center and backup guard will handoff on blitzes properly
Elite guys like Rodgers and Peyton can still function well, but their play still dips
Bidwells have pissed off fans in 3 cities. I imagine Michael Bidwell IV will be pissing off the Melbourne Cardinals in 2050 with his cheapness as their stink keeps drifting southwest
For the sake of argument, I think going from the CFL is probably the same kind of jump as coming from College Football. Trestman is a question mark like anyone else we hire.
We can talk about schematics all we want, but a big problem with the Bears is the roster. Emery needs to draft well to reload the defense and fix the offensive line. The Bears can also use another WR and TE on the roster. Obviously any OC should be an upgrade over meathead Tice, but I think there is a dearth of talent on the offensive side of the football.
Look how SF Oline mauled Green Bay last weekend. That offensive line was built with high round draft picks over years of futility. 49ers were the bigger, faster, stronger, and better coached football team.

He turned rich gannon into a decent mvp QB and was part of some good offenses in his career. That might not be enough to turn the bears offensive woes around, but his resume is good enough to let him try.
AFC is terrible overall + "People who would like to see the Pats challenged" = I want the Dolphins to be better.
