it is what it is...

the rooney rule is a sham.

 

[AphexPhin]

Good to hear. It had to be done.

Don't feel too bad for Tony. He'll bounce back as a coordinator somewhere.

I will say this....thank you Tony Sparano for the 2008 season. Even though we didn't win a playoff game that season, it was still a fun ride

Say what you want, but it's hard for me to rag on the guy who presided over the most exciting Dolphin season in the last 25 years...

Huh ? We went to a playoff game and lost in 2008. In 1992 we went to the AFC Championship. In 2000 we went to the playoffs and won a game. Did you miss those seasons ????

Hank Goldberg reporting on Alzagarry :

Peterson will have role of finding new coach, and Ireland will have "lesser" role. Sounds like they are looking for a "strong" head coach......

This will open the door for Bill Cowher.....yeeeess!
I think Ireland will be fired, just not yet.,

The rooney rule should be abolished, you hire the best available coach that YOU the OWNER deem fit for YOUR team, PERIOD.

Eventually it will, but there is no question it has been a net positive.
