What's so hard for people to understand about this? Even if you think Fisher would be a bad hire, it reflects badly on Ross that IRELAND was what kept him from getting his target.
I'm no Ireland fan but I completely support Ross on the structure. No coach we've ever had that had final say on personnel decisions have done a good job, they've all actually sucked. Wannstedt, Jamar Fletcher, Eddie Moore, Ricky Williams for 2 1st rounders, never drafted a QB, etc. Saban, drafted Ronnie Brown over Aaron Rodgers, took an injured Jason Allen in the 1st round, spent a supplemental pick on a DT that he made cry and didn't last a season, etc. That's just the stuff I remember.i can't believe that we were 80/20 fishers choice per shefter and ross dumb *** decided that ireland should retain absolute power...this stuffs comical
so now whoever comes in has to bow down to ireland on personnel decisions etc...way to go ross...you screwed the pooch yet again...2 years 2 hatchett jobs from you...clown

Ireland could be fired tomorrow, a new GM put in his place with the same power and Fisher still wouldn't have come here. You're losing focus on the real issue. Fisher wanted ultimate power on personnel moves. He had that power in Tennessee and failed...or he'd still be in Tennessee.

GM having final say is the right move and the right structure...Ireland just may not be the right GM.
He bashed Fisher, but now he bashes the Dolphins for not getting him? :err:
Marvez bashed Ross just earlier this week for even looking at Fisher and called Fisher "Sparano with a mustache". Which in itself is a ridiculous statement since Sparnao has a mustache. Anyways, now he bashes Ross for not hiring Fisher? Come on now, the one that is clueless here is Marvez. My bet is he had two Ross bashing articles already written. One for if the Dolphins hired Fisher and one if they didn't.
