I heard Philbin has complete control over oline. Hence why it's sucks so bad..
You are probably correct. I have a hard time thinking of his positives.

I suppose I sound like a broken record, but I'm just stunned that Jeff Ireland is still employed by the Miami Dolphins. Enough is enough.

I think that retaining Philbin and firing Ireland and Sherman is exactly the correct decision.
As to what GM would accept a job without being able to hire his own coach, I think that prospective GM's would be salivating at such an opportunity. Just look at Gettleman in Carolina who neither hired the coach nor drafted the QB.
In such a situation the new GM gets a free pass for the first year because he wasn't allowed to bring in "his guys". If the team does poorly then he gets to hire his own coach and draft his own QB. It buys such a GM a lot of time before his own performance is evaluated.
But I'm sure if Ross takes this approach he'll be labeled as the biggest moron in the world. In truth, it's the shrewdest decision he could make and the quick turnaround of the Carolina Panthers is evidence that adopting this model can lead to success. The parallels between the Panthers and Dolphins are even more relevant considering that Tannehill will also be entering his 3rd year as starter. Give him a new OC and QB coach and combine that with the natural improvements that QB's typically make between years 2 and 3...

This requires a collaborative approach. Not an authoritarian one. people tend to think Irish is authoritative but he was collaborative and always has been with his coaches...maybe to a fault?

I recall Jeff saying when they hired Philbin, "I just hope he can coach"
he is telling you he agrees with the owner to work with the new coach.
If Ireland is not fired and they don't clean house,expect an empty stadium next season.

I certainly hope the new GM is a personnel guy. I agree that the relationship should be collaborative, but not perforce as it is with the Jets because Idzik is a capologist as was his predecessor Tannenbaum.
