Well, I would agree if you said that college records are not guarantees of success (actually, I already stated that in this thread) but I disagree pretty strongly with the idea that college records have no bearing.

Seriously, who would you rather have on this team right now- Cassel or Mallet?

What has Mallet done in the NFL besides sit on the inactive roster for his entire career?

And sadly, I would rather have Mallett. At least he offers an unknown hope. Wish he wasn't from New England though.

Sounds like at least one Miami Offensive Player happy to see Daboll gone...

Dolphins’ players seem happy with changes on offense, not on defense
Posted by Michael David Smith on February 8, 2012, 1:26 PM EST
ReutersAs new head coach Joe Philbin re-shapes the Dolphins, the reviews from the players are reportedly positive on offense but negative on defense.

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins’ offensive players are happy that Philbin has replaced offensive coordinator Brian Daboll with Mike Sherman. Jackson cites one “prominent offensive player” as saying that Daboll would tell a player one thing about his role and playing time, then do something different on game day. So Sherman is viewed as a welcome change.

However, Jackson reports that some of the Dolphins’ defensive players are upset about switching from a 3-4 base defense to a 4-3 base defense. Those comments apparently come from players who believe they’re better suited to a 3-4, which would suggest that those players are worried their own jobs are on the line. So it’s not exactly surprising that they wouldn’t want to switch base defenses.

The good news for those players, then, is that the Dolphins might not be changing their base defense anyway. But if Philbin is going to turn things around in Miami, he may need to jettison some unhappy campers no matter what defense new coordinator Kevin Coyle plans to run.

I don't know why anybody here would want Mallett.

He's got an upside of Drew Bledsoe at best. He's a potential headcase with a strong arm and stone feet.

And he's a Patriot - why would we continue to give them picks for their castoffs?

According to PFT Zorn maybe gone

Quote:

Jim Zorn has had a rough few years. Fired by the Redskins after being neutered via the hiring of “consultant” Sherm Lewis, who traded in bingo-calling for play-calling, and then fired after a year with the Ravens as quarterbacks coach, Zorn recently was passed over for a promotion to offensive coordinator in Kansas City after a year as quarterbacks coach.

And while the Chiefs weren’t willing to give Zorn permission to interview with the Bears for a lateral move, they now seem to be resigned to letting him walk away.

“I hope that Jim stays,” Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said Tuesday, via the Kansas City Star. “I know that any time you’re interviewed for the coordinator job, you have hopes of getting it, and it didn’t work out for him here at this time. But I told Jim that I wanted him to stay and hoped that he would stay. And I expect him to stay. I don’t know what else might happen for him, but if nothing happens for him, then I expect him to be there.”

So where was that vibe last week, when Zorn had an opportunity to interview with the Bears? Though he may not have gotten the job then, he definitely won’t get it now, given that the Bears have hired Jeremy Bates.

The Chiefs had every right to deny Zorn a chance to leave for anything other than a head-coaching job. The fact that they’re now willing to let him go suggests that maybe they want him to go. If, after all, he leaves for another job, he won’t be owed a buyout for the balance of his Chiefs contract.

Besides, new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll may want his own quarterbacks coach, instead of the guy who wanted the job that Daboll now has.

Me thinks Pioli loves drama and turmoil within the organization. That way you can play people off one another

Zorn is gone. Why would you keep him? You don't promote him to OC, you don't let him go interview elsewhere as a coordinator. I'm thinking he's not too happy with Scott and the rest of the team right now.

I'm not a Zorn fan (I tend to think his treatment over the years is because he sucks, not because he has bad luck).

That being said, if this is true, the Chiefs FO is the biggest bunch of petty pricks I've ever seen.

Zorn is the best QB coach we could ask for.

If he's fired, yeah, I hope this entire regime gets hit by a bus.

What a bunch of idiots.

What a train wreck this has turned into. Hopefully after the next 2 yrs are up hopefully Clark cleans house of everyone.

It's perfectly reasonable to assume that, had they not promoted Crennel, he would have been gone, as well.

This is a mess, guys.

A big one.

The worst part about it is that it's unfolding as a national soap opera.
