Gase is a glorified OC that refused to utilize experienced coaches to help transition. Not sure how much of a qb whisperer he was. Manning was a HOF'er before Gase and the entire Cutler thing in Chic was so over-exaggerated
....and i for one agree with you.I don't think Gase is anywhere near the end of his rope in Miami. For better or worse, I think Ross is giving Gase much more flexibility, and is offering much more patience than many here would be offering if they were in Ross' place.
I, for one, think this is a Good Thing.

Not even close. Well said
As for the OP, im afraid I gave up at "stop playing music"
Shocking?I agree
So now Gase is responsible for not firing Tannenbaum?
My thoughts are:
- The GMs job and their mistake if a mistake was made
- We all talk about that here on the boards, but where is the proof that that's whats being discussed / ordered in the meetings with the big 3?
- See #1
- Your proffer that this is happening, other than he calls the plays (something other HCs do too)
- Oy -- because that's what wins the game
- Wait, wasn't #5 all about talking trash to be one of the guys
- When: at the Coaches interview, on the sidelines, or in the game review behind closed doors that you don't have any insight into?
- Didn't he let players go in the middle of the season last year and TRADE our star running back when he had a enough from him?
- Please give examples and look back at your bullet number 5 where you argued for this kind of behavior
- See #1
- You are confusing hiring people he has an existing working relationship with as a friendship. As an experienced manage with a span of control over 100's of people, if needed to change out over 1/3 of my management team and have everything glued together in 3 or 4 months, you're damned right I would pick people that I know, trust, and know how to work with so I could focus on the changes I want from the people who do the real work. That's just common sense and de-risking the entire exercise. Think about it: what do you want Gase focusing on for the next 3 months: trying to figure out how to work with 8 new superstars (as if there are that many out there) or spending his time installing the plan for less penalties, installing the new/revised playbook, and overall getting the team ready to win?
This was a list of superficial observations that's typical on the board. Our team sucked and everyone wants a head on a post. There is a reason that non-head coaches move around every couple of years and seem to pretty much land on their feet with rare exception. Coaching is a 20 hour, 7 day a week job and spending any time working on managing your coaches instead of your players is lost time that can never gotten back.
So now Gase is responsible for not firing Tannenbaum?
