This is a dysfunctional shit show.

Confirming my belief Howie and Lurie just wanted to avoid being looked at as meddling laughingstocks. It’s the only reason Sirianni is still here. It’s pure politics.

They don’t want to be seen as coach killers.

Should've been the hire last year.



Not sure how I feel about this knowing that Fangio recommended Desai.

And I believe the stats showed that Fangio-style defenses (included Fangio's in Miami) did not do well last year. It almost looked like the league figured out how to beat it.

Well, that's DC sorted. Whether it's a good hire or not remains to be seen, but it would have happened last year if Gannon had confirmed he was leaving sooner, so I guess they finally get what they actually wanted?

The fact that the Dolphins defense got better as the season progresses is very reassuring that this is an excellent hire. Makes me wonder if this was always going to be the plan this year, and perhaps part of the reason Desai was demoted mid season, despite the record.

Eh, he was his teacher/boss, so recommending him is a natural move. Looks like Desai wasn't really ready to be DC (yet). Not really Fangio's fault. Was trying to get his guy a job/shot. I have no problem with that.

Lol I don't trust this bum one bit. Dude takes another job despite mutual interest last year (if he wanted this so bad just wait a few days for the Gannon stuff?), recommends Desai, then goes behind the Dolphins back for this job anyway. He's as big of a snake as Doc Rivers or Howie himself.

This whole situation is so smelly
