and he's not going to fire Ireland for the sake of firing Ireland. He will fire him because everyone involved thinks they can bring another guy in who will work for all involved.
I just ask honestly, what is the probablity of finding anyone like that who will accept this situation? Brian Gaine yes, but every outsider not nearly as much.
So my point is there is no reason to rush to Fire IMO. The minute this job opens up (if it does) you should have no issue finding a coach.
I think the rush is because we are all afraid that the longer this situation lingers the more likely Ross won't do anything.
there is no rush, but the finheaven torch and pitchfork posse want someone's head on a stake yesterday so they can sleep better.
Yeah, but finding a coach is the GM's job. Ireland has to go first if new coach is on the owners mind. This is why I have gone through the thinking that Philbin is Ross's guy (he hired him), so the likelihood that Philbin is gone is less IMO. If you bring in new GM, that changes everything top to bottom and it all would have to change.....henceforth, new regime hooks up to Tannehill with all new coaches and system and yadda yadda yadda......This is always my point.
Firing people is easy in this league. Finding the answers is not. I just heard Jim Fassell earlier on NFLN say that too many times, coaches get fired before they even have a chance to take them to the next level.
My wife, who is a rookie principle of a school building, was telling me last night at dinner while NFLN was on with all these coaching changes and she was like "everyone with any knowhow in any organization knows it takes a good 3-5 years to establish change in the right direction if your taking over crap organization"
She is right.
The Dolphins are in mediocrity. We are not the Cleveland Browns. We are searching to get to the next level. We were close with 60 sacks and Jonathan Martin. We need to fix some more things. We need to change some things, but not at the top IMO. Everyone has hooked their hitch up to Tannehill. Year 3 is crucial for that.
Thats why I have said and will continue to say one more year for all. Next year we will have much clearer answers and ability to react.
That's why he should just fire Ireland and hire a GM with the understanding that if they want to make coaching changes that is their right if they choose to.
Do not hire anybody with some agreement that they must keep anybody. We have handicapped ourselves for far too long doing that same silly crap over and over again
With us its always one more year and then well just another year wasted. Ross only has himself to blame because he should have just fired Ireland when he fired Sparano but like every other football decision Ross makes its quite wrong.
see above.

yeah i know, its tough. But if you owned the Dolpins and were writing the checks, and had to make the ultimate decision to change everything, you honestly would be less inclined to do so at this point if you went through the entire season and anylize it honestly. Ross knows alot of inside stuff from Martin/Incognito and the people he brought in to change some things already. He has a much better feel for reality than most on here think. I think if he were to go through everything for the next week with a fine tooth comb, he would say one more year and everyone on notice as of today.

and i could be completely wrong. but thinking not.
Lovie Smith and Bill O'Brien (i think will be hired soon in HOU).
However the better College Coach if he can be taken away would be Kevin Sumlin

I'm mixed about Sumlin. Todd Graham of Arizona St is who intrigues me as a NFL HC.
I wonder how Mike Riley (Oregon St) would do in his 2nd tour of duty in the NFL?
