Del Rio had to be a perfect fit. Why return when he's still being paid tens of millions by Oakland.
He can be picky. Now in 2 years when that money runs out, we'll see if he can get a job when he's desperate. Quote:"Success doesn’t mean every single move they make is good" ~ Anonymous

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly, and have actively pursued that route in a couple of other threads, it's just not many wanted to hear that. "Better send those refunds..."

Teams weren't approaching him, atleast if we go by the same standards we use here to make determinations (media reports). He was linked to two teams, one being the Giants who never actually moved on him and us who talked and then passed.

For example, I have a friend with whom I have worked at four different companies. We work very well together, but neither one of us is afraid to tell the other one they are wrong about something. We always do it respectfully, but we still do it nonetheless. Yeah technically none of us know anything either way. That's the optics though. He's hired a lot of guys he worked with at Miami or UC. Guys with weak resumes who otherwise wouldn't be getting looks for such prestigious positions. Think of it this way. If you had a buddy that gave you a job you really weren't qualified for, would you be more likely to go along with his ideas without question? Not saying that's exactly how it will be, but that's how it looks when you hire a bunch of unqualified buddies.

I know your being tongue-in-cheek here, but that was Chris Foerster, who was in Miami after Taylor and his crew. Just in case anyone is wondering.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Did Aubrey Pleasant end up not being a fit? If we're gonna go inexperienced, I rather go with him. He seems like he's gonna be a prime candidate 2-3 years down the road.

I'm going to trust the HC we just hired on this one, you know the guy who has actually talked to them about the plan and what he is looking for that none of us actually know.

This airing it out in public has a lot to do with how this is being perceived. Yep. I think Marvin had a lot of friends around the NFL and could call guys up and work things out. Taylor doesn't appear to have that network, unfortunately.

It's not like he's been removed from the game. Great post! And how many times as Bengals fans in the past have we done that? Ignored guys mediocre coaching pasts and assumed they'd be some great coach here? It usually never works out like that. Plus, these guys are all Taylor's friends so they likely won't be fired if they fail.

Quick side note...did you ever catch the NFLN ad, I believe it's for Good Morning Football, where Joe Montana says, "Did he just call me a goat?" Cracks me up every time I see it. And now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Not sure any are friends, but people around here have already starting making crazy assumptions so let's dub this the banana boat crew 2.0!

Was the plan Taylor laid out for the FO just “I’m going to reassemble the 2015 Dolphins coaching staff”?
