Yeah, but if the Fins do end up with the first pick (which I highly doubt), what're the odds that Oliver Luck is on the phone with Archie Manning discussing the similarities between Dean Spanos and Steve Ross?
Pure speculation.

If we go 0-16, every coach will be licking their chops. Imagine inheriting the next Peyton Manning.
Giving credence to any of Mando's opinions are akin to following Rex Ryan's advice on dieting.
Armando does seem to be ****ting on the Dolphins this week. First he reports that Ross put the clamps on offseason spending, than he reports that Ireland likely is safe and now he is reporting/speculating that the Dolphins won't be able to land a good coach. Maybe everything he says is true, or maybe he is just going for the shock factor. If all this is true though, you have to be at least a little bit worried that Ross won't be able to bring in a good coach for next season. I don't want a Mike Nolan or Rob Ryan and I am afraid that is where this team might be headed if Ross and Ireland have such a negative view around the league.
Ross better be willing to open up his wallet at the end of the year or the good coaches are going to pass on Miami. I am still on the Cowher Bandwagon despite what Armando is saying.
remember, mando was the guy who claimed one of our QB's was a lefty and then got the wrong QB playing to boot. while sitting there live. didnt realize he screwed up til i said something.
But back to Ross. I am a forgiving person. Ross owns the team. Hopefully, he learned from his mistake. We all make mistakes. We all fall short in our lives. Ross has billions of dollars. How many people out there can own a football team? Not many.
Ross so far is doing the right thing. Which is not overreacting right now about the coach. He prob sees that Sparano has not lost the locker room...yet. So now he has all season long to start looking at resume's of many coaches. Not Gruden or Cowher. Ireland is way way better than Randy Mueller. There are no #1 draft pick busts on his resume including parsells. There is something to be said for continuity. This past draft was a good one but yet to be determined (clay, gates). I know this whole board just wants to kill the world right now. But there is no answer in that.
Just let the season play out. It is what it is, but know that what we have here is not cam cameron/randy mueller. We have played the best in the league so far minus cleveland IMO. Just let it play out. Let the chips fall and pray that Ross starts doing things with a keen sense of putting the right people in position to build his franchise.
I still like the Ball guy CK brought up in GB. I think that would be a great start. Ross can make up for his screwup, but if he does not, he will never win over this market. He needs to put the right person up at the top to make things better all the way downward.
