Rumor: Pete Carmichael, Jr. to Interview for Dolphins Head Coaching Job

PrintHeard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another Pete Carmichael, Jr's been messing around...with the possibility of becoming the Dolphins new head coach. Apparently he's going to interview for the position now that the Saints season is over, per some random dude I happen to know.
Wouldn't be surprised if it were true. He's been on Miami's short list, despite turning down the Dolphins twice in the past for an offensive coordinator position. Obviously, I would hate to see him go. We've been spoiled with this offense. I know he and his family are settled here in New Orleans so the deal would probably have to be pretty sweet for him to pick up and leave everything behind.
Losing players and coaches comes with the territory when you build a successful football team like the Saints. What worries me is the possibility that this team will lose too many of the key players and coaches that have allowed them to get here in the first place. New offensive and defensive coordinators? The fear of the unknown is probably what's most frightening.

I suppose the idea of having a head job is appealing.
But I’d be hard pressed to leave an organization with the quality of the Saints.

Hard pressed! For a couple million dollars a years more ....
If they offer him the job then I say that he succumbs to pressure.

we'll see

Having the ball is better than not having the ball. And if you punt,
not only does it mean you don't have the ball anymore—
it means you didn't score, which sucks.
Carmichael is good
…but let’s not exaggerate his importance in a scheme that starts with Payton and ends with Brees.

Never
Drew is the captain of this ship. I could see it in his eyes.He was really hurt.Our offense didn’t deserve this.I knew we was gonna struggle a little bit, but we overcame the turnovers.I hope the people understand this aint the old Saints we fight till the end.Maybe our defense should take some pointers fron the offense. On how to fight every play and trust in each other.The Giants whom we destroyed are moving on.I don’t know how they do it but they know when it’s time to get serious.
see?

Promote Quarterbacks Coach Joe Lombardi to Offensive Coordinator, let Payton call plays until Joe is ready, and get on with it.
This hit rotoworld.com two days ago.
Successful organizations spin off successful people
Commanders is still a great restaurant despite spinning off numerous chefs who opened competitive restaurants. Belichick lost Crennel and many others. The time we should start getting scared is when no one wants our folks.
I think the offseason will be great and 2012 Saints will be stronger than ever…They better be, next season’s schedule is TOUGH

Next year's schedule?
How could anyone know that already? Where can u find that?

it's a scheduling formula - once the regular season ends they know exactly who will play whom

Yeah, that’s what I meant, this year’s carcass. Hope and optimism for 2012….but I’m not there yet.

Anyone really nervous if Payton calls the plays next year?
"I don't suffer from drug addiction. I enjoy it very much."
No
Not really because he okays the plays.So long Drew Brees is back next year then Im’ okay with whoever calls the plays.Offense is not the worry its the defense that couldn’t hold when we needed them too.I left to go to the store when we made that last touchdown.I went right around the cornor 5 minutes away and they lose by a Alex Smith driven team.Not suppose to happen.It’s time to do something about this.The Giants a team we demolished is moving on.How dun is that.
Yeah, offense didn't lose that game.
Our D can’t do anything without a 20 point lead. It’s a liability and puts too much pressure on an offense. Hopefully next year with a difference DC and maybe some upgrades, we’ll have a D we can walk into someone else’s house with a little swagger. And a little more discipline (Roman Harper).

Good for him.
Hopefully he gets the job. not that I want him to leave…but good to see people get the recognition.
-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.
Lance Moore was missed
I kept telling everybody all year we need an explosive reciever like maybe a Deshean Jackson.Not a person agreed.Think about it there’s a lotta games where our recievers were invisible.Run the game back against the Texans that was one of the games among many.I’f it wasn’t Darren or Graham it was Lance.He was missed we need someone that thrives for tha moment when the game is on the line.
yeah our wide receivers are more or less the product of a great offense and wide receivers' coach.
Colston is great as a big target possession receiver, and Lance Moore is great in the clutch, but Henderson and Meachem (god love em) aren’t the type of fellas that can get up and get it. They fill they’re roles well enough to stretch the field, but when they’re not wide open or thrown open, it just doesn’t happen with them. There is still so much talent on offense, though, that i feel guilty typing this. With Brees, Sproles, Pierre, Graham, Colston, Moore, Ivory, Ingram, a Pro Bowl Tackle ad the best guard tandem in the league, it might make me look like an ass for whining about our offense missing some pieces. If GW really is leaving, I’m conflicted, but optimistic about picking up a solid linebacker to go with whoever can get good use out of Martez Wilson while Romeus wreaks havoc in his redshirt rooke year

Miami is a disaster, w/o a QB, or a good GM, and the Owner isn't much better

that’s one of the reasons Fisher (supposedly) didn’t go to Miami. Pete would be wise to do the same.

Apparently...he already had one interview
The Raiders interviewed Saints OC Pete Carmichael Jr. for their head-coaching vacancy on Friday.
The interview took place while Carmichael and the Saints were in the Bay Area for Saturday’s Divisional round playoff game at San Francisco. Carmichael called New Orleans’ offensive plays after coach Sean Payton blew out his knee on a freak sideline accident in mid-October. Carmichael was promoted from Saints QBs coach to coordinator prior to the 2009 season.
I like Hamburgers!
Uh oh...better put an Asterisk on it.
