Dolphins hire Chan Gailey as OC

I gotta love Fitz, fear the beard! 

 

Goes into NE in a must win game for the Patriots so they get a bye and he beats them. 29 of 44 for 340 yards 1 TD against that vaunted #1 defense. 

 

It will be interesting to see what Gailey does in Miami, will he want a "waterbug" for a RB again?

CJ just threw down his spray bottle of tire shine at the Delta Sonic and made a bee-line to the pay phone...

Chan and fitz, the two best friends that anyone could have! 
 

@TomPelissero: Blast from the past: Chan Gailey is coming out of retirement to become the #Dolphins’ offensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet.

Wolfpack!

This tells me the wrong Josh will be playing (or not playing at all) for a different team.

Now if they can get Stevie as a backup WR.

Yep. Fitz does not get to go to another team.

On WGR this morning Sal said contrary to popular believe his "sources" tell him Fitz does not like playing in Miami and he won't be back next year. My hunch is his source is Eric Wood.

 

i wonder if Gailey has clause in contract that he can retire again and get fully paid if Fitz does not re-sign.

Crap. The Dolphins are going to be good now. Gailey is a Super Bowl winning coach.

 

In addition, Fitzpatrick has defeated the Patriots on all three other AFC East teams. He is the Patriot killer.

 

Br*dy may retire if Fitz stays in AFC East.

Best offense since the Bledsoe days.  Chan did more with less than any OC we have had besides Roman. I would take him back in a second over Daboll.  A Chan-Fitz combo surrounding Allen would have Been amazing. 

 

I agree as long as Coach McD learns to tell OCs "No" when they want to do something stupid.  He had that issue before and even though he coaches on defense he knows when an offense will be destroyed by competent defenses.

 

Regarding Fitz/Allen combo I think it works - Allen can take the chances which makes him a better QB and Fitz gets to play when Allen takes his lumps.

Fitz is getting a significant salary increase next year if they choose to not cut him and I cannot see them doing it with Gailey as OC.

 

Year   Age Base Salary Roster Cap Hit Dead Cap Yearly Cash  
2019   36 $1,500,000 $4,000,000 $5,500,000 $7,000,000 $5,500,000($5,500,000)  

Potential Out: 2020, 1 yr, $5,500,000; $4,000,000 dead cap

2020   37 $8,000,000 - $8,000,000 $4,000,000 $8,000,000($13,500,000)

You think this rebuilding team gave a 37 year old nomadic QB say in their OC hiring?

 

Isn't that a fireable offense?

 

Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, but Chan and Fitz are like two peas in a pod. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Fitz highly recommended Gailey to his Dolphins coaches. Gailey has been retired for 4(?) years and now all of a sudden he's coming out of retirement for a 5 win team? I absolutely believe Fitz had some kind of say

How soon they forget.  Chan Gailey was hired on January 20, 2015 by JEST and retired on January 3, 2017 after season was over.

 

So he was inactive for 3 years.
