I never liked Aponte. Some people I watch the games with did, but I never liked the woman.
Aponte shadows Philbin during television interviews, radio interviews and press conferences. During one recent taping of Philbin's coaches' show, she stopped the taping to straighten the coach's tie.
The second-year coach meets with Aponte before every press conference and accepts advice on what to say to the media. Can you ever imagine Don Shula doing this? Aponte's typical advice is for Philbin to say as little as possible even though the mission statement from team owner Stephen Ross, Philbin's and Aponte's boss, was to have the Dolphins become a more transparent and fan-friendly organization after the Parcells departure.

here is the reality, franchise qb's, genius GM's and creative coaches just aren't out there. they aan Bill Polian still build a team?
 
When you hire a guy that has never been a coach before this happens.
 
I didn't read the article but I call BS on the blurb posted.

3 Super Bowls and consistent winning vs. a 10-13 lifetime record. When you win you can do certain things.

The only difference is in whether your boss accepts and encourages the approach. If he does, then the media backlash it creates isn't an issue, regardless of your track record.

Winning eliminates the issue not the owner support.

If there is an "issue" in the minds of the fans and the media, but not in the mind of your boss, then there really isn't an issue.

Why do you think it's bs?

I guess technically it might be true that she straightened his tie once and gives him some advice on talking points but I don't agree with the tone that he is a bumbling idiot and she's his puppeteer. I don't think his interviews/press conferences would be one iota different with or without Dawn Aponte.

BB was doing that before he won anything. Your post is meaningless.

Bill Belichick was a heck of a lot more successful in Cleveland than Joe has been. When Joe does something such as get to the playoffs via Wild Card get back to me...sound good?

Yep....the issue is WINNING. When you lose all the other **** gets magnified.
 
The point of the article is that the Dolphins have put a string of embarrassing moments together, and I believe that is true. Most people wouldn't care if they were winning but the fact that the season is imploding only highlights how dysfunctional the organization seems to be.
