One-word reaction to the Jeff Hafley hire!
Offense is a joke but hire DC for head coach
Great video Nic
Jeff Hafley is actually a very good coach.
He is a very smart and educated coach. He speaks well and conducts himself in a very respectable manner.
He isn't cocky. He doesn't cuss to sound bigger than he is or cool. He is respectable and knows how to get a lot out of his players.
Go watch his press conferences. Listen to how he breaks down his defensive schemes and game plans. The defense is absolutely going to improve. If you look at all the teams in the playoffs and also that remain in the final 4, they all have top 10 defenses. It is not an accident that they are still alive.
No coaches that are currently on the dolphins staff. CLEAN HOUSE. And please get rid of thier strength coach

Well the good news is we weren't that far from the bottom so hell it can only get better most likely.
He sounds good on a mic i like the GM hire more letโs see who they bring in. Underwhelming hire
Dolphins need to make a call to the Texans for CJ Stroud . Texans may want to hear offers instead of extension.
We blew it as always

Mid
Meh
Miami crazy. Got a coach who got fired in Boston…now he is reward a Job in the NFL and a head coach… it crazy why Miami again can pick up a coach..
They are going loose again …we going to suck again…why you keep trying to say he good…no proff…He defense fell apart. That's especially against the Bears. They were bad..
My thoughts stand again in any worse.We were 1 and 6 at 1 time, but everybody can remember this.And I wish they had Mcdaniel
What a joke both were in GB. they going to be bad and try to draft a Qb..
And he noise how to lose. GB lost 5 out of 6..
If you look successful coaches come from successful teams period McDonald was with Baltimore before he went to Seattle, Baltimore was successful.And the new england head coach and the tines and the titans in the playoffs… And Payton won a super bowl..
You have to pick successful coaches to have a successful team.Miami's gonna lose.I guess try to get a quarterback and work from that
Confused!!! ๐ฎ
Bullshit it was the buddy the whole time they just strung along to not make it look obvious
I wanted Chris Shula. This was a chance to reverse the Shula curse. We have not been a true player since they fired Don Shula and brought in Jimmy Johnson. Since the Robbies sold the team, we have been the laughingstock of the leave. I am tired of talking about 1972. We used to be the winningest franchise in sports. Just let that sink in. I will give him a chance, but I am not impressed. This GM needs to know this is not Green Bay, this is South Beach. They need to bring better players and quit drafting hurt azz players like Grier did in his tenure.
Jeff hafley????? Really??? Guys about as dynamic as three toed sloth…. WTF??? Guy shit the bed as a head coach at Boston college and now he's a head coach I'm the NFL. Welcome to mediocrity again Miami Dolphins! This is a pathetic hire. Jeff Hafley. I'm still in disbelief…..been a fish fan since Marino days. Fan no longer.
Disappointed
Jeff Hafley blows!
Buddies GM & HC may not be good for Fins.
Let's see what happens .
Never been a head coach in the NFL….Avg record at Boston College. OHHHH Happy Days are here again. You keep giving us fans this, we see you!!!! Now see how long we show up at losing games . Don't make sense…….
Give him a fair shot
Dolphins 7 wins 10 losses Packers 9 wins 7 losses 1 tie. And these guys were never GM or Head Coach………..Really ? You needed a consultant for these hires ? Is you CRAZY !!!!
I'm excited about both the GM and HC hires. I give the GM hire an A- and the HC hire a B+. Not bad at all. LETS GO!!
I'd love to get either Kliff Kingsburry or Brian Dabol as our offensive coordinator! I believe they'd be good fits. And I'd like for the Dolphins to retain Anthony Weaver ad our defensive coordinator.
Alright don't come on the podcast in the middle of next season, tear your jersey off and go "I'm done with the Dolphins…" Hold them accountable right now for these hires. Troy I'm sorry they got you involved with this.
He has some kind of experience manning the ship ? Ross is just throwing darts and hoping something sticks !
Minter or Shula would be better hire !!
LOL. Hope it works!
Miami let's run up the middle on first downs every time we get the ball,then let's throw a screen pass,that doesn't work.idoits.try rolling the quarterback to the side with let's say a tightend,or another play that works is the pitch back to the running backs.come on man.
D
Shula
I'm now looking forward to the next tear down and rebuild for the dolphins in 2028๐ฏ
Really sorry to see Hafley go from Greenbay, the guy did a number on our Defense. Took them from bottom of the league to one of the best when injuries hit us hard. Good luck Jeff!!!!!
Sounds like we're going to be the Packers … What's next Malik Willis signing? ๐
#1 need LINES
In think heโs just a yes man to Sullivan
Yippie ๐ฅณ I believe heโll be better than our last one
B+
Miami needs to back out of this contract and go after the Bills Ex coach it will be bitter sweet rivalry
