Miami Dolphins Interested in Mike Pettine for Head Coaching Job

PrintI've been told Dolphins have some level of interest in Jets Dcoordinator Mike Pettine for head coaching job. No interview scheduled yet

This is obviously not the coordinator many Jets fans hope would go. Pettine drew a bit of criticism this year as the defense underachieved to a degree. It was the least effective year for the defense in Rex Ryan's run and gave up some long drives at inopportune times as Pettine was reportedly given a more active role. I still like Pettine. He was one of the big reasons the team switched to more zone based coverage schemes and scaled back the blitzes in the Playoffs last year that worked really well. Just as important, Pettine as Rex's right hand man made sure Rex stuck with the plan when tempted to attack more. The defense stuck with it and was still a top ten unit this year despite all the issues. I think Pettine would be more appreciated if the offense was not so brutal and forced the defense to be virtually perfect week after week.

There is zero chance that Pettine is even considered.
Where does this crap come from!

not the right d change
we need a change at D but not a complete removal. We just need ryan to take back the reigns.
Meh, they said they scaled back the D just because of the lock out
I think it could spring back next year

Eh. I won't miss him.
The defense sucked this year. The only thing I like about him is that he’s got clout with Rex and he isn’t a yes man.
But the defense lost a lot of aggression this year. Too much.

MP: Rex, the league has caught up to your overload blitzes
RR: Okay, then let’s kill them with zone.
MP: But we have the two worst safeties in the league.
RR: Then let’s ground and pound ‘em.
MP: Rex, that’s a phrase used to describe offenses.
RR: Are you sure? I’ve been using it all year.

don't have a choice for head coaching vacancies

Pettine signed an extension thru 2013. He can not interview lateraly for the same position without permission.
But he is free to interview for a promotion which HC position on another team would be.

The only reason this might be good
Rex goes back to play calling.
But i don’t think he gets the job so i doubt we have to worry
oh no
they’re playing the jet pepsi max commercial. oh god

Maybe Rob will come over from the Cowboys
Love with a LEO is like a drug.. One taste and your addicted!
That really isnt a good idea
Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.
Its an awful idea
Have you seen Rob coach up that Cowboys D this year?

Yeah but I also saw what he did with the Browns the year before

make him shave
And look just like Rex. Let Belicheck try to figure out who the real one is that sending in the defensive signals.

Well they have that twin thing so Rob would know exactly what play Rex wants him to call
And I think it would be really cool to have twins on the same team

Only if he gets a haircut.
Come on, I mean, he’s not 20 anymore, he needs to stop looking like a freakin’ beatnick. Also, the Cowboy’s D sucks and he’s more blustery than Rex. Maybe we can revisit the idea if he improves in a few years.

WOW.

As if that was the Fins’ takeaway from our offensive performance today. “We gotta get ourselves some of that!”

maybe they saw kerley throw that 40 yrd pass and wondered why they cant run the wildcat anymore
schotty might be their answer to the dolphins wildcat problems.

I'll admit, I laughed
Maybe the Chargers will fire Norv and bring Schotty back. Schotty would actually be a nice fit out there.

I like Mike Pettine
He’s a good coordinator. His players got old, and he has no pass rush. The Jets got 1 sack against the Dolphins, who played without Jake Long today. Guess who? Donald Strickland. You can’t be a dominant defense without pressuring the QB. The Jets have to bring odd blitzes to create that. Pettine has done a great job with the tools he has at his disposal.
