i ascribe our recent success to Gase, not Tannenbaum. we were pure **** with Philbin and lets be honest here, we could have easily lost the last 3 games. our team actually made plays in the last minute of those games, thats a player/locker room thing, not a management thing. Parker and Tunsil fell into our laps and were the overwhelmingly obvious picks to make, to the point that there would have been massive uproar if we had chosen other players. i do give credit to tannenbaum for canning philbin, although he should have done it a year sooner.
The Tannenbaum hate is getting absurd.
Player acquisitions are not done in a vacuum by one guy. Sure, all the moves have not panned out but at least give them credit for those that have. Sheesh!!

Thank heavens Ross had a reliable "secret scout" targeting Gase and instructed Tannenbaum to help get it done.
One of my prevailing fears was that TBum would be given autonomy to hire a HC like Rex or Mangini.

So you want to hire a gay pimp?
Truthfully . . . the roster has more impact young players than any Jeff Ireland put together roster.
Remember in 2015, Tannenbaum took a hard line and cut a hearty chunk of dead weight, taking on dead cap in the process . . . . mostly revolving around arguably the worst offseason in franchise history aka 2013.
Take a look at this current roster:
Tannehill - 2015 extension, during a time of uncertainty in regards to the QB, at what is looking like a bargain right now
Suh - Huge contract that got scrutinized, but no question he is the best DT in the NFL and his leadership and work ethic, on and off the field, has been a mandatory force behind this win streak
Kiko/Maxwell - All Tannebaum
IAQ - 2016 offseason
Branch - 2016 offseason
Wake - 2016 extension coming off an ACL
The Offensive Line - Took him less than a year of control to put a competent group in front of Tannehil.
The Gase Hire - People may not want to credit him . . . but he was here
Present for bringing in guys like: Parker/Stills/Lippett/Tunsil/Phillips/Howard/Hewitt/Carroo
Literally the only guys he has had nothing to do with that have an impact on this team is Reshad Jones and Jarvis Landry . . . and there is a great chance both get extensions.
Rome wasn't built in a day, but some credit is due to Mike Tannenbaum and his crew . . . they have done a great job when the majority of the board counted them out from day 1.

I don't really have a lot of faith in Tannenbaum. Honestly, he still makes me uneasy ... maybe it is the Sanchez thing.
But Kdawg's post is spot on. Our salary cap, roster and and synergy all seem to be headed in the right direction.
Tannehill and the weather may have been the lure to bring in Gase, but Tannenbaum was surely the effective salesman. And he seems to be giving Gase what he wants when push comes to shove (e.g. Dallas Thomas, Billy Turner and Jamil Douglas). We are getting the types of players our coaches want, and our coaches are building a team out of the raw clay.
Tannenbaum has held the salary cap line except for a few big splurged like Suh, who have proved to be worth the money unlike Wallace.
So, we shall see.
I thought he already was

Tannenbaum didn't franchise Charles Clay. Never upgraded offensive line, never upgraded linebackers, overpaid Mario Williams, signed Arian Foster.
He's been far from good. Gase and staff is the difference.

Didn't Upgrade o-line? Tunsil and Bushrod? As well as serviceable depth like Steen...
Didn't upgrade LB's? Kiko?
Signed Arian Foster? Several players have said his leadership and Vet presence was invaluable...
Didn't Franchise Charles Clay? Good....Buffalo overpaid like crazy for him....
Overpaid Mario Williams....yeah you can have that one, although after this year we can cut bait with little impact.

Bushrod came because Gase convinced him. Tunsil fell in our laps by the grace of bong.
Kiko was a great add but we didn't do anything to bolster talent or depth. We scrapped at the bottom of the barrel to find Donald Butler. Misi and Jenkins have long history of being made of glass.
Relying on Maxwell to replace Grimes wasn't an upgrade but basically a lateral move.
Buffalo could have never paid Clay if we franchised and signed him longer term a year later when they were out of Rex F-You money.
hoops
Tua time!
the coaching staff is carrying tannenbaum
but at least we finally got the coach part right
