In the weeks since Al Groh was fired as head coach at Virginia, there's been widespread speculation that he'd return to the NFL, possibly in Miami or New England.

But that apparently won't be happening.

Groh will reportedly become the defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech. It's his first job as a college assistant since he was the offensive coordinator at South Carolina in 1998.

With reports that we won;t be signing Butler niether, where does this leave the phins?

Tom Oliva-no-Defense As in "Olphins" Tom Oliva-no-Defense No thanks.

Tom Oliva-no-Defense

People really hate this Tom Oliva-no-defense guy... I don't even know who the heck he is!!!

Oliva-no-Defense joined the Dolphins as the Defensive Coordinator in 1987. For the next nine years, the team was christened the "Olfans", because they had no "D". For 7 years of his 9 year tenure, Oliva-no-Defense led a defense that was ranked in the bottom half of the NFL. What makes this even more painful is the knowledge that these years coincided with Marino's prime. The Dolphins consistently put up big numbers. Unfortunately, so did every team they played. It's nauseating to think of how far the Dolphins might have been able to go with even an average defense.
