It has recently become a debate on MCM as to whether Coach Fisher should be allowed to continue his streak as the longest tenured coach in the NFL. Some fans think he is one of the top five coaches in the NFL, others think he was but the game has passed him by. But was he ever really a top five coach? Is he really a top five coach today? Well the answer is obvious, No. With a career record of 133-114,...

After five weeks of the 2009 NFL season teams are beginning to define their identities. As Dennis Green would say, "the teams are who we think they are." This does not mean that all teams will remain stagnant in their identity. There is still a lot of season left. Time enough for teams that are currently treading water to develop that tread into a Michael Phelps sprint. There are also enough...

And by ultimate I mean, shortest ever. I have no idea who is on these teams. I basically know that they have some washed up former NFL coaches (Dennis Green, Jim Fassel, Ted Cottrell & Jim Haslett) and that they have some mediocre former backup NFL QBS (Losman, Quinn Gray, & Brooks Bollinger). I also know it starts tonight on vs. so here's the best UFL preview out there, or the worst, or the...

by Anthony Olivieri Filed under: UFL Dennis Green, coach of the UFL's California Redwoods, hasn't changed a bit. "Not interested, man," Green said politely but abruptly when FanHouse called him Wednesday night in advance of the UFL's season opener on October 8, when the Redwoods take on the Las Vegas Locomotives. Green, famous for a postgame tirade as coach of the Arizona Cardinals , then...

It wasn't exactly a Dennis Green - - moment for Mike McCarthy. But for the even-flow McCarthy, Wednesday was about as Wacky Denny/Crazy Jimmy (Mora) as he's ever going to get for public consumption.

Just like that, we can put the speculation to bed. Despite people like Dennis Green trying to connect the Dolphins to the recently "conditionally reinstated" Michael Vick , General Manager Jeff Ireland released a statement on Tuesday that said the following: "We don't have an interest. We like the players we have on our current roster." This is good news, in my opinion. There was...

Upon Michael Vick 's reinstatement by Commissioner Roger Goodell, the Washington Post decided to pose a question asking where Vick might end up in 2009 . And because it's likely that some in the media will try connecting the Dolphins to Mike Vick, they asked me to write a piece for them. I did just that - and you can see my piece right here . I've also included my piece below. But in a nut shell, the...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…well, maybe not for the 2,500 NFL players that are reporting to training camp this week. For the next 3 weeks they’re going to be sweating their sacks off in two a day practices. Knocking the shit out of each other, sitting in endless meetings and soaking achy muscles in ice tubs. How do they do that anyway? Just the thought of lowering my...

Former NFL head coach Dennis Green recently said on Sirius Radio that formerly imprisoned quarterback Michael Vick could wind up in a Miami Dolphins uniform. ``I have a hard time believing that Michael Vick is not going to wind up with Bill Parcells, simply because [Parcells] has that creativeness that says no matter what it takes, he's going to find a way to get Michael Vick," said Green. "Now,...

T he draft was a real killer this year. A 60-year-old coach sits in a secluded room, surrounded only by the intense and focused faces of his two closest advisers. The draft board is a few yards away, tempting the old coach with both opportunity and blunder. Dennis Green has made decisions in rooms like this for years. He coached the Minnesota Vikings for almost a decade and then the Arizona...

Let me start off by saying how this is something I really didn't want to talk about. Why? There are a number of issues in play here. There are legal issues. There are moral issues. And then there's the issue of Roger Goodell. After all, the latest rumblings regarding Michael Vick are that Goodell isn't in a hurry to reinstate Vick at all in 2009. And until Vick is reinstated, this topic is pretty much...
