As a Dolphins fan, I wanted to first and foremost say how much I hate all of you. With that out of the way, I got a serious bet offer from a family member on Thanksgiving: Bill will be fired or forced out at the end of this season. The bet - for $200 - is that Bill will NOT be the head coach next season. I was thinking that he definitely would be the Pats coach next year due to his (much hated) long term success there. Should I take this bet? Thanks for your responses! (you assholes)
I think at this point it’s a Steelers-esque situation. No in-season firings on the table. As far as after the season… I find it very unlikely since there are no better candidates immediately available, and Bill as a coach has actually been fairly good when you look at the film. As a general manager? Miserable evaluation of talent. We get maybe one serviceable player from every draft class and our first round picks bust every year like clockwork. If he is to be forced out, this would be why.
Also - where would he even go? He’s unlikely to want to leave because no team is going to have a HC vacancy that’s not also in a rebuild with no decent QB UNLESS the chargers finally axe their coach. That’s the one team I can see Bill taking the job for - and he’d absolutely love to stick it to Mahomes as often as he possibly can.
Side note: I really hope Achane heals up quickly he’s perhaps my favorite Fins player to watch. May he lead you to your regular early playoff exit.
