I'll keep Jeff Ireland over Carl Peterson, thanks. Jeff Ireland is a bad GM, but at least there's a possibility that he can improve. Carl Peterson... not so much.
Depends. If Ross understood this would be a rebuilding season with a young inexperienced rookie QB, than Ireland stays put. If he expected playoffs and the SB like people here, then he will be fired.
And if you would be happy with Carl Peterson, than you people are in for a rude awakening. I know what Carl is capable of, and know that his success was over 20 years ago. You know the devil in charge now, becareful of the devil you don't know.
KC Chief fans are grinning right now at the thought of someone thinking King Carl would be a upgrade over anyone.
Everybody in the Dolphin's organization expected this to be a rebuilding year. The fact that the team got off to a surprisingly well start was a bonus. I believe we may actually end where we were projected to end. As much as I want Ireland gone (for ignoring impact positions of need for so long), I think he'll be around for another year or two.
TheJetsBlow said:I had suggested Wolf a couple of weeks ago. He sounds like he'd be a good hire.

Honestly if Ross was expecting a rebuilding year why was Ireland retained? He played a significant role in making this mess. He may tie his caboose to Ireland, but i think the stadium is just going to get emptier and emptier. For the record if Ireland is fired, i dont want Carl either. i'd like to see someone who has been working for Ted Thompson for a few years work with Philbin.

If he retains Ireland if we go 6-10 or 7-9 again, good luck getting people to buy tickets Mr. Ross.
get in line bro… several of us have been jocking Eliot for over a year now.
starting? Starting?!!
Fruit of the Loins… I used to wear those! seriously, Wolf may be young, but he's been working for the Pack 20yrs; in-between he graduated from The U in 3yrs… and is said to love SoFla. just sayin
Actually it might now be a bad idea. I mean the pros would be that he is young and likely firey. Given his youth I would assume that he is in touch with what the current nfl is and that is high powered passing offense. Negative would be is that he isnt as experienced in player negotiations and contracts. I wouldnt mind taking a flyer on him
Again, if Ross believed as you and many others here, that this team w/ a young rookie QB could make the playoffs and SB....Ireland will be fired. If Ross believed as I and some others here, that this was a 2 to 4 year rebuild, he will be retained.
Once Tannehill was selected, Irelands tenure with the team was attached to Tannehills success or lack there of. And that success will not be judged on Tannehills rookie year. IMO, Ross will not make a snap judgement. He will either stay with the guy he put in charge prior to the season or if worse comes to worse, go with a guy he has history with and has had some success in the NFL.
Becareful what you wish for. If Ireland is gone, King Carl will be in. And then you and many others like you, will be bitching for the next 10 years.

Didnt Ross say he expected us to be a playoff team this year? I thought he did.
I never believed this team was a SB contender, but yes you are correct i expected to at least contend for a wildcard this year or a winning record i.e. 9-7/10-6. I hope Ross had the same belief seeing he retained Ireland, he had to believe this team had some level of talent if he retained the guy. Perhaps Ross is under the impression this is a rebuilding project, but he's going to lose a lot season ticket holders and single game tickets in the process if that's the case. The numbers are already declining and i can't foresee a revival in sales if we finish with another losing record and he brings Ireland back. I disagree with you on whether Ireland's job is tied to the Tannehill selection. I think it helps him in the big picture, but won't be his ace in the hole to save his job. I'm not advocating firing Ireland right now either, i'm waiting for the end of the season to form an opinion. The way we are headed i can't see why i could support him being retained after the season though. I wouldn't be happy with Carl Peterson, but i'd give him the benefit of the doubt until i had a reason not to.... just like i have with Jeff Ireland.
Giving Carl Peterson the benefit of the doubt huh? Seriously? The guy has a track record that got him run out of KC. He left behind a mess. And was the genious who brought in Herm ****ing Edwards. But YOU would give him the benefit of the doubt. I can't debate you anymore.
And thinking this was a playoff team. Goes to show you had your head in the clouds prior to the season, with a rookie QB who is/was raw. With a new system on offense and defense. And having a talent pool built for a power team and not a finesse team. This team needs a complete REBUILD. This team was built with apples, while oranges are now needed.
