Linehan leaves Vikings Staff to join Dolphins

Scott Linehan, Minnesota's offensive co-ordinator for the past three seasons has accepted an offer to join the Miami Dolphins staff at the same position. Here's how Jim Souhan envisages the change:

Linehan [. . .] might continue to develop and flourish in the NFL. But he has just left [Vikings QB Daunte] Culpepper for A.J. Feeley, has just left an open-minded boss for new Dolphins coach Nick Saban, who makes Apocalypse Now's Colonel Kurtz look like SpongeBob SquarePants.

Picture the Dolphins' first offensive meeting:

Linehan: So, who's our quarterback?

Saban: I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare.

Linehan: A.J. it is.
