"Fins Up" is apparently a thing of the past. And it might be due to the popular "Margaritaville" brand and their new resort on Fort Myers Beach. On Tuesday morning news around the change started to gather steam on social media. Twitter/X user @Ian693 is the one who I saw the news from initially. It looks like the Dolphins shelve 'Fins Up" thanks to Fort Myers Beach Margaritaville. Big E mentioned that the team is retiring the saying due to a patent held by another company. That company is Margaritaville. Look, I love Margaritaville. There's something magical about a mountain of slightly than better nachos with an umbrella drink while waiting for you plane to arrive at JFK. And that's not a shot at Margaritaville's. They hold a special place in our society. Let's look at the 'Fins Up!' club at Margaritaville.

The Fins Up! Beach Club at Fort Myers Beach is not open yet. Although the official website is targeting mid-January so it could open up any day now. The Fins Up! Beach Club is described as an expansive sundeck overlooking the beach with a lagoon style pool with plenty of seating. Here is the latest around the Fins Up! Beach Club and when it will be open.

So it's not official that the Dolphins are going to shelve 'Fins Up' thanks to Fort Myers Beach Margaritaville. But it sure looks like there's a lot of connection between the two. So what should the new saying be for the Miami Dolphins? I think it will take some time for the Dolphins to find a new saying the fan base embraces. So the team can decided to ditch 'Fins Up' but the fan base will continue to use the phrase until something organic sticks. Start winning on the field and this sort of stiff does not matter.

Top 10 Hottest NFL Coaches of 2023: Ranked

The NFL Season is well underway for 2023.  Lots of people out there, both men and women, LOVE football.  It's action packed.  It's exciting.  It's entertaining.  It's all of those things.  But, if you're just not into football, Sundays can be very boring and very long, especially if you're not aware of the Hottest NFL Coaches of 2023.

I happen to be a woman who really enjoys the game.  It all began when I started playing Fantasy football and when my kids began to play flag football.

Fantasy gave me a reason to care about all of the games and not just the Miami Dolphins games, which haven't always been the most fun to watch, until this season.

Now that I pay more attention to the games, I'm finding myself paying even more attention to the sidelines.  Not for the players, but for the coaches!  I mean have you seen some of these coaches?

I shared my list of the hottest NFL coaches ahead of the Super Bowl in 2022 and I thought it was time to update.  If you're not into football, no worries.  You don't really have to care about the game itself to enjoy this list.  And, you should be well aware about what you could be missing out on, on the sidelines.

As I said with my last list of hottest NFL Coaches, there's no real methodology here, although swagger and presentation did come into play.  And apparently it doesn't hurt to have a beard.  So, without further ado, here is my list of the Top 10 Hottest NFL Coaches of 2023:  Ranked.

10. Kevin Stefanski - Head Coach Cleveland Browns


9. Mike Vrabel - Head Coach Tennessee Titans


8. Mike Tomlin - Head Coach Pittsburgh Steelers


7. Kyle Shanahan - Head Coach San Francisco 49ers
