    Fins looked good last night defensively which doesn't bode well for us.

    TRod what do you think of McCarthy or Saleh as replacements if Pierce is let go? Former looks fired and the other is unemployed at the moment.

    The Dolphins are really inconsistent. The O will have to keep the ball away from them. If the D tires out, Miami will run all over us.

    Saleh has been a loser every season, and his ranks as a coach/coordinator have been unimpressive. He's been okay as a DC, but the numbers are trash as a head coach. I also can't stand him.

    McCarthy has been a winner with both organizations he's coached. His offenses have been above average (58th to 71st percentile) and his defenses have been just a hair below average. I'd be far more willing to bring him on for a few seasons than Saleh, and I suppose I have to see how Pierce finishes out the season. He could turn things around with an offense.

    Wha do you think?

    Saleh is a DC more than a head coach but his notoriety was with San Fran. We already have Graham calling the shots on that side. Injuries just killed us. I like McCarthy more same as you. The young offensive minds being touted I have doubts we can get. I sure as hell don't want to settle for another Getsy. We don't know who will be our signal caller is under center next season. Given Brady's input and Davis' preference, all signs point to Sanders.

    I'd be happy to have Sanders, Ward, Ewers, even Allar or Dart.
