What about Butch and Dorsey make sense? And why does it fit? Other than "they could be had" and they're Miami guys. They aren't the most qualified.
We've watched five years of a Northeast defensive abortion. Butch was part of the Miami defense that revolutionized college football, and he was part of the Dallas defense that revolutionized pro football. He used the same principles to rebuild Miami's defense into a monster. He knows what it looks like.
We've watched five years of pathetic talent evaluation. Our roster is littered with 4.9 safeties, slow receivers, crappy linemen and overstuffed linebackers. Butch is the greatest evaluator of the past 25 years. Nobody is more qualified to rebuild this roster.
Butch left the greatest team of all time for someone else to coach. Unlike John Robinson and Joe Gibbs, he has an enormous chip on his shoulder. The younger generation views him as a legend because of the U Part 2 and the litany of iconic players he sent to the pros. The timing is right.
As for Dorsey, he is a hot candidate with credibility as an NFL OC candidate. He just happens to be a Miami legend. The timing is right for him to work with a pro-style, California quarterback at his alma mater and take the next step in his career.
