Kris Richard was likely a Rooney Rule interview.

Enough reputation to be seriously considered, while his relative inexperience offers a reasonable excuse to for a team to pass.

Kris either has our had not been offered a job. He hasn't and the Dolphins has coaches still lined up

Richards isn’t getting the job. Reports are indicating they like Flores. I was commenting more on your “blown away” comment. I read into it as you thinking he had a bad or mediocre interview cause the Dolphins were interviewing more candidates.

I am garrett hater......gotta problem with it?
So why isn't he head coach somewhere? Heard he's a genius that a Superbowl winning coach fired.. Garrett hired him..a true leader is one that can delegate authority

Yea if they were blown away by Richard.....why would they interview other candidates? You can only hire 1 HC.

The coach they ended up hiring was black, so how does that make sense?

Plain and simple, Richard just doesn't have enough experience yet. Hopefully that'll take a few more years. I'm just glad that he'll most likely remain here. I don't really care about all the speculation as to why, including mine...

Richard deserves the interviews he's getting. Also when you have a high profile win like we did agains the saints that at the very least puts you in the discussion.

If he stays he gets promoted to DC, gets a raise. If garret struggles next year (if we don't win a SB this year) then richard is a great candidate to take over.

He was used as a Rooney rule candidate. Everyone on this site got fearful for no reason. The NFL is a joke in this regard. The Rooney rule was intended to give minorities a fair shot at coaching and the league has turned it into a joke.

For one, Richard would likely be given the title of Defensive Coordinator next season. Rod Marinelli could be retiring anyway, turning 70 in July. But even if he stays on, it would probably in an advisory role while Kris gets the DC title.

This year, Richard has already assumed much of the coordinator's role from Marinelli. The two seem to have a great working relationship, an Rod has stated he will do what he can to help Dallas keep Richard on staff.

I been saying this since he was hired

I agree and Dallas really needs to line up next DC because I think its highly likely Richard gets HC job after next season because this is lining up to be flat out dominant defense next year with youth & experience. We need to hear alot more about Ben Bloom and his coaching style.

Maybe other teams believe Jerry is going to lock Richards up here. Pay the man and make him Assistant Head Coach! 2nd in line to the throne

Or if Garrett bombs today, step right up Mr. Richards, you are the new Dallas Cowboy head coach and you can get the best OC out there to propel this young team where you want to go!

If they really want him to stay, Jerry can throw his wallet on the table. An example:

Extend Garrett for like 2-3 years and pay him $10m a year (I assume the going rate on a HC is around $6-8m a year, but JJ can pay him $20m for all I care, it's his money to spend)

The reason for this is they could then say to Richard, we'll give you a 2 year contract, and pay you $8m next year to be DC and possible Asst HC. Second year is for less, but this is the deal. I bet that's more than the Dolphins would pay.

I don't think Garrett would get his pants in a wad over this, and Richard can get himself some cash and keep his young defense on a national stage.
