He needs to be hired by the Dolphins to be a linebackers coach. The man is a student of the game, and would give linebackers on the team such an edge.

I would love to see that because he's my favorite player ever, but he has said that he isn't interested in coaching. He is a really good family man.
@aldfjak 11 ай бұрын
just because he is a student of the game doesn't mean he will enjoy coaching or be a good coach. it isn't the same. most all football coaches i have interacted with are just power hungry bullies who like bossing people around. very little about coaching is 'being a student of the game'. go to a football practice for high school and watch it, it is like law students who graduate then realize that being a laywer isn't like the movies. Nick Saban wins in college because he recruits so well, give him Vanderbilt talent and how will he do?

For 5 feet 11 inches tall, Zach was a total BEAST! Very intelligent and very strong! Best football awareness I have ever seen in a LB. On every down, where ever the ball was or where ever the ball was going to, Zach was there ready to make a play. Should have been put in the Hall of Fame years ago. Congrats Zach Attack!! PHINS UP!!!

54 and 99, GOATS to me. Couldn’t be happier to now see both in Canton. And to hear him compare his line back in the day to todays Dline is exciting. Congratulations 54 on an incredible career.

Anyone recall the play Zach made against the Steelers in Miami when Zach hit the A gap and hit Jerome Bettis backwards? bettis was one big running back that was hard to tackle to begin with and zach hit him so hard he fell backwards for like a 2 or 3 yard lost, what a great player Zach was, blessed to see him play all those years

I saw him play in Mexico City in 1997. Back then, they broadcasted about 4 or 5 Miami Dolphins games per season, so nobody knew him that well, but I remember myself thinking: Wow! That 54 plays really good! He went out of the game somewhen during the second quarter, due to an injury and was carted out. Fortunately, it was nothing serious. I also remember how I thought it was going to be quite a loss if he were hurt bad. We have not had an equal linebacker since ZT54. After Marino, he was my favorite player.

He's my boy. I looooved watching Zach play. I wish Dan (as much as he is my most beloved QB of all time) would have retired and then have Jimmy step in to make a complete rebuild I think we could have won a superbowl. Man that defence was stacked. They were exciting to watch. I am stoked for this coming season. My Montreal Canadiens have a ton of young talent and are looking so good. If they could both win their respective championships within a couple of years of each other, I would die a happy sports fan. GHG Go 'Phins

Zach is the best! I'm so happy for him to get this honour - one, he absolutely deserves. He's the reason I started to love the Dolphins, the reason I love the MLB position (no one like him anymore) , and the reason I wear 54 on my personal jersey. Sending love from small town Canada - we love you way up here too Zach! Congratulations!

I have been a Dolphins fan since Shula's first press conference and so have seen all the Dolphin's greats. to my eyes Zach is right up there with John Offerdahl and AJ Duhe as the best Dolphins linebackers and the best one on one tacklers with Offerdahl and Jake Scott.

Zach Thomas Only defensive player to be around the ball as much as the QB and center. It seems like every freaking play he was in the mix. From sweeps to 50 yard bombs, Zach was there, making the takle or second on scene. Just so much hustle....
