It has been a horrendous year for Dolphins fans, but it got a lot better in the past week with the hire of Bill Parcells and beating the Ravens. Here is how Parcells will turn the Dolphins into a consistent winner:
1. Fire Cam Cameron
I don't agree with it and I think Cameron is one hell of a football coach and I like the draft he had last year, but it wasn't Parcells' hire and he is going to bring in his guy for better or worse. You can tell by Cameron's PC yesterday that he Parcells just won't get along and you can see the look in his eye that he won't be in South Beach next year.
2. Hire Jason Garrett
Parcells knows Garrett from his Dallas days and I think it is a good fit, he just went on record as saying that is a young head coach generation and he realizes this.
3. Use the Free Agent Market
Here are a few inexpensive signings I would make: QB Josh McCown, CB Randall Gay, and T Max Starks. I might even splurge and consider a Bryant Johnson who should be commanded medium range dollars on the market.
3. Trade veteran talent
I don't think Jason Taylor is tradable (they will be asking for a 1st and 3rd picks), but Zach Thomas is and you can get a 3rd/4th round pick for him.
4. Have a great draft
Parcells is really going to stay put and acquire a lot of good football players. With the first pick they will take either Chris Long or Glenn Dorsey. With the 2nd pick they will address the defense again I think (well most likely). Just draft hard, do your homework, and aquire a lot of good young talent. Here is a Dolphins mock I just made:
1. Glenn Dorsey DT/LSU
2a. DeJuan Tribble CB/Boston College
2b. Josh Barrett S/Arizona State
3. Mike McGlynn T/Pittsburgh
4a. J Leman ILB/Illinois
4b (Traded Zach Thomas). Shawn Crable OLB Michigan
5. (Traded for QB Trent Green)
6. Chris Hopkins TE/Toledo
7. Mario Urrutia WR/Louisville
5. Develop the talent with the coaching staff, and continue to acquire talent obviously through 2009 and 2010 drafts...I don't think Miami is going to make the playoffs again until 2010.
