Busy Day for Dolphins

It appears the coaching staff is starting to come together. Today the Dolphins have confirmed the hiring of new running backs and strength/conditioning coaches. James Saxon, the RB coach, was a former Dolphin and should be Ronnie Brown's best friend for the foreseeable future. Saxon coached 3 Pro Bowl backs in his recent stint in Kansas City.

In addition, it appears that they have brought in former UCLA head coach Karl Dorell to coach our WR corps. Also expect Paul Pasqualoni, another Parcells guy, to be hired as the DC soon. Dan Herring is still the likely candidate for the OC position as well.

One head-scratcher is Parcells decision to try and bring Trent Green back. As the article states, Bill likes older QBs if he has to rely on them, but anyone could have seen how poorly Trent was playing before he got hurt last season. I would like to see him back in a backup role at a restructured price, but I hope Parcells isn't thinking about giving him any considerable playing time. That's risky for both the franchise and for Trent Green's health.
