Hyde5: Dan Marino, Dolphins' Vice President Of Football Operations?

[Coach_Rob]

Would it work?

Some inside the organization want Marino to replace Mike Tannenbaum. Some adjustments would be needed to cover for what Marino doesn’t have the background to do (contracts, managing the salary-cap details, for instance). But the general hierarchy would stay the same, as many believe the Dolphins want, with Chris Grier remaining general manager and Adam Gase remaining coach.

He’s part of Ross’ inner circle, as CBS captured in a cringe-worthy shot of him sitting with Ross and Tannenbaum during Sunday’s loss to Jacksonville. He certainly would be a plus from a public-relations standpoint. He would get to compete with Denver’s John Elway on another level

I think this would be a great move for the organization. It cant be the only move, but it would definitely get things going in the right direction imo

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

Which means it won’t happen.

 

[BobDole]

I'd like him in more of a figurehead role myself but it's not like it can get any worse than Mike ****ing Tannenbaum.

With smart people in place nudging him in the right direction and giving him sound advice? Sure, why the hell not.

 

[SeasonsMusic]

I like but get rid of the other losers.

 

[HarryBagpipe]

So Grier stays and gase stays and Marino, a figure head, is put into place. Sounds exactly like something I’d expect Ross to do. The more things change.....

 

[coalesce]

Love it for the name recognition factor, but what has he done to merit the job? What would his responsibilities be? And didn’t he have a front office job for, like, five minutes and then leave?

 

[Ryan1973]

Ya but they need to get rid of Chris Grier and Adam Gase too! A complete house cleaning is in order!

 

[superphin]

I mean why the hell not, I'm 33 I got some years to waste I suppose.

 

[Highzenga]

If you’re going to hire Dan, at least let him pick his guys.

Marino lasted 3 weeks as the Miami Dolphins senior vice president for football operations and apparently decided that he had misjudged the amount of work involved.

''I knew it would involve a significant lifestyle change, but after further reflection, it became clear that those adjustments were ones that my family and I are not prepared to make at this time,'' Marino, who is married with six children, said in a statement released by the Dolphins.

Maybe times have changed but I have my doubts

 

[Manning]

No please No. he has no experience in anything front office related and it just doesn't seem like something he is willing to put 100% effort towards

 

[Danny]

This would be so freaking stupid. Marino's already part of the "organization" anyway but if they keep Grier and Gase then nothing will change. It'll still be the same crap next year. Ross needs to clean house once and for all. Anything less than that and we can expect more wasted years.

 

[Phantom]

Another attempt at putting a band aid on a mortal wound.

 

[BIGSHOT]

Wrong move, I'm a man of few words...#Crapfest

 

[Highzenga]

VP’s job is to select a GM and/ or HC. Nothing more. It’s basically a de facto owner. Dan wouldn’t be the one drafting players.
