The Dolphins are making progress in their effort to hire a head coach -- at least they seem closer to getting there.
The club yesterday made the pivot away from some candidates and is "on to the second round" of interviews, I've been told by the club.
I am looking for confirmation this means no new candidates will be added to the current pool although I believe that to be the case. I have been told several candidates have been cut from the process -- one of them being Chicago Bears special teams coach Dave Toub, who was the first candidate to interview for the job.
Toub was told Monday he was no longer being considered for the job. He re-signed with the Bears today.
An NFL source tells me Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer has also been cut from consideration.
So what does this mean?
It means the next Dolphins coach will be selected among the following group: Todd Bowles, Joe Philbin, and Mike McCoy.
Philbin, the Green Bay offensive coordinator, will interview again on Wednesday. McCoy, the Broncos offensive coordinator, will interview again Thursday. I am trying to confirm when Bowles will get his second interview, assuming it is not happening today.
[UPDATE: I should have mentioned this earlier, but Philbin is clearly eager to have the job. There were questions about his emtional state following the drowning death of his 21-year-old son last week. There were questions whether Philbin would be willing to relocate his family. He is willing to relocate his family, a source close to Philbin told me.]
All the interviews will be in New York, where owner Stephen Ross is spending the next couple of days.
WE MUST GET HORKOWITZ OR NO DEAL!!

If you are farting blood you might want to back way from the black beans and rice for a while. Good luck with that.
Posted by: odins-brown-eye | January 17, 2012 at 08:22 PM
I think we need to hire Eric Studesville. Just so we can say our HC is coach Studesville.

Posted by: Jim in Little Rock | January 17, 2012 at 08:26 PM
Seriously guys since Nov 6 we went 6-3. Two of the losses were very close against the Pats and Cowboys and the 3rd one we just got VICK-tomized when he was finally healthy and we weren't quite ready for him.
We are almost there..just hope we get someone who will keep building on what we have.

Agreed. Having the peepee hole exposed to spicy foreign elements is a bummer. The same goes for the brown eye too. Just ask a good number of the male posters in here, most of whom don't fly so straight. Be careful both ways.
Posted by: odins-brown-eye | January 17, 2012 at 08:31 PM

I thought you people wanted " OFFENSE " a passing game ! Why the F@#$@#$ do any of you want a defensive head coach.We just got rid of Sparano do you already want another one. $#!#%$^&$$@#$%%& ! ! !
Posted by: Phin4Life | January 17, 2012 at 08:36 PM
Please not Bowles, same old same old. Plus Sparano knows all his philosophies. I'm happy with Philbin or McCoy and would love the west coast offense here
Posted by: Husketeer | January 17, 2012 at 08:36 PM

Your welcome buddy. Free piece of advice though: Never go out on a date with a bag of snacks unlees you are first armed with a raincoat. Unless of course the bag of snacks has an IUD. Good luck .
Posted by: odins-brown-eye | January 17, 2012 at 08:39 PM
PriceMaster = Moore is Less = POS
Posted by: johnny | January 17, 2012 at 08:40 PM
If we hire McCoy as next HC then we will take either Tannehill or Foles with the first pick -- trading back into the later first for this pick and gaining another 2nd rounder.
OR
Philbin -- Reiff or Martin with the first pick
OR
Bowles -- Morris Claiborne with the first pick
Posted by: Texas_Dolfan | January 17, 2012 at 08:40 PM
good call brown eye!!!! i like my snacks like i like my women... crippled and crunchy

I don't like Clue, specially the one from here. I think he is a dolt.
Posted by: oscar canosa | January 17, 2012 at 08:42 PM
In order for me to post the drivel on this blog that I do, it is mandatory that my BAC is at least a .20 and/or that I am tripping on some sort of psychotropic medication. This also helps me to stomach most of the morons on here who actually believe they have a clue.
Posted by: odins-brown-eye | January 17, 2012 at 08:43 PM
Chad Henne beat Green Bay last year and Philbin stood right there on the sideline and watched.
Even so Philbin is not coming here.
Neither is McCoy.
No agent is going to let thier client sign here as free agent unless thier career is over and the want to sodomize another $1mil out of the corpse (see Pennington, Wilford, Olshansky, Columbus)
Todd Bowles is the HC.
The highest ranking defensive coach will get promoted to DC.
Henne is getting franchised.

To fake Aloco you must use all caps and lots of ((( ))).

Glad I could offer you sage advice. I have to go now. I think my prostrate has shifted to close to my boys, and they are feeling quite uneasy. See you later. I might hook up with a bag of pretzels later. You know what they say: "once you go brown, you'll never go down". Out.
