Also, the lead<br />up to the game is often vacation time, and it's possible they had scheduling<br />issues. There could be all sorts of reasons. The one thing you can take<br />from it is that by saying yes, the Dolphins ultimately thought all their<br />coaches or most of them would be around for the game. It's very likely they<br />didn't intend to go into this week without having 2/3 of their defensive<br />staff on board. So they probably didn't make a decision on Pasqualoni until<br />the last minute.Tinshakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-69238853159300516662010-01-12T12:54:15.000-08:002010-01-12T12:54:15.000-08:00Actually there are 6 AFC ahead of us in the draft....Actually there are 6 AFC ahead of us in the draft.

We don't really get to see these guys doing<br />their job unless their team sucked the previous year and they make it to the<br />senior bowl or onto Hard Knocks. That's why I'd like a full coaching staff<br />to be in place before hand so that we could see what we've got.

They haven't contacted Groh, Zimmer signs an extension, and Crennel seems to b headed to the Chiefs. That leaves Bowles or someone we don't know about. If they promote Bowles, I think it is a mistake. He is an unknown and would have to learn on the job. He has only4 years of ANY coaching experience. The one good thing that may come out of Bowles being promoted, is i think it signalsd BP will be here for awhile. Who knows Bowles may be a D genius, but then again when was the last time a D genius just popped up out of nowhere? I can't think of one, all good D coaches honed there craft for years.FinFan13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-76345870435417433632010-01-12T11:47:21.000-08:002010-01-12T11:47:21.000-08:00My money is on either Bowles or Groh.
