Dan Marino: What the hell is he doing?

Dan the man played for Shula. He's got to know this frat-house feel-good, no discipline philosophy of McGenius doesn't work. He is supposed to be an "advisor to the owner" Ross. Is he advising or just sticking around for a "ring" which at this point is sadly laughable???

gets paid a fair bit of money to be a figurehead, sit in the press box w ross and tell him what he wants to hear. 24 years of evidence to show marino is useless. the guy wants his paycheck so he tells the boss what he wants to hear. no defined roll or responsibility. doesn't mean he is a bad guy or anything, this is just the job description. frankly shows one more problem with how ross has structured things. hires bad people, bad org structure and process, surrounds himself with paid sycophants. is what it is.

actually would love to know what marino is getting paid for this. i bet not chump change. i would love that job. get the best seats in the house on sunday, maybe another $500k-$1mm, all you have to do is smile.
 
It's about time somebody came out with a post about #13. I know that several posters have been screaming for him to be more involved for years!!!
 
Listen, Marino in or out of the building doesn’t matter. Focus on Grier, Ross, Crossman, McD etc

Exactly!!! WTF is he doing? He has fire in his belly. He should have been a QB coach at the very least and eventually head coach/GM. Retire, B.S. Go to Tahiti.

I read an opinion somewhere that the natually gifted players... people like Marino who instinctively have that gift which makes them great generally do not like coaching. They have a hard time understanding why mear mortals 'just don't get it'.

It's not to say they don't put the work in, but they never had to really 'learn' the game. It was just god given instinct which makes it hard for them to translate what they 'know' to others.

No idea if it's a valid theroy or not but it seems logical to me. You see a lot of coaches out there who were backup QBs but it seems far fewer who were starters.
 
I think it was pretty apparent back in 04 when Marino abruptly resigned from his position he just took with the team he wanted nothing to do with this circus.

If Ross is paying him to sit in a booth now and listen in on some meetings then good for him.
 
This post was not intended to bash Dan but to simply ask "what is his role" especially in light of his title as "advisor to the owner" and the absolute abysmal running of this team from McGenius, and Marino playing for Coach Shula. I mean Marino knows what good coaching looks like...so where is the "advice" he's giving as the "advisor"? Apparently, my fellow FH Dolphin fans think it's a total BS title just to have an excuse to hang out with the boys at Dan's leisure.

I cant believe what i am reading so now we are blaming Marino huh did it ever occur to some of you that Marino may be a advisor but that doesnt mean Ross actually listens to Dan plus was angry after several games . i dont trust anyone until things start happening.
 
The world hell should never be used together with the name Dan Marino.

Not a good look, vibe, or sound. ✍️
