Mike Tannenbaum with Joe Rose

i'm perfectly fine with the tannenbaum hire. the guy seems somewhat humbled from his experiences in the league, and it sounds like he genuinely wants the best for this team. assuming they all work together cohesively like he described, i think we can put together a solid draft.
 
Glad to hear Tannenbaum wasn't complimentary towards Wallace like he was with other players.

Tannenbaum tap danced around a question that focused on Mike Wallace not playing the second half of Miami's 37-24 loss to the Jets. Sources say Philbin benched Wallace for the second half of the season finale because he challenged the coaches on their playcalling and gameplan at halftime.

"I want to go down there and be a good listener," a nervous Tannenbaum told WQAM. "Two sides to every story.

"We'll make the most responsible decision for us possible," Tannenbaum said of Wallace, who is scheduled to earn $9.9 million in 2015, and has $3 million of his salary guaranteed if he's on the roster when the league year begins the first week of March.

This is a train wreck just waiting to happen.

If he is not involved with player acquisition,

or the roster,

and Philbin reports to Ross not him...

then basically everything he says here and on the phinsider phone interview doesn't make sense.

ALL of his comments are GM comments and he is NOT the GM.

What happens with Wallace, with the other players and the draft are not part of his J-O-B.

The only way this could get more pathetic is when he starts having his own press conferences
 
i heard this too. i didnt really like what i heard. rose asked him how can this work with different people reporting to different people and he compared us to the redskins and the falcons like they were doing something great also. he then also said that he would be able to take things off of hickeys desk so hickey could focus on evalutating talent. "admin" things, which is just a desquise word for takeover the main part of the job. Someone else in another thread said it perfectly... hickey will just be a glorified scout this year who will probably only be able to reccomend who to bring in, not actually bring in. I hope im wrong and i know im being pessimistic but thats how i am reading into this. i cant figure out why ross is doing this to hickey... its like a hangover i cant get over.

Philbin reporting to Ross was born from the acrimonious relationship between Philbin and Ireland and it's just carried on so there's no middle man for Ross...nothing lost in translation so to speak.

As for the situation with Wallace, is he not a football player? Is Tannenbaum not the VP in charge of football operations? I would think he would be involved, collaboratively, with Philbin and Hickey on what to do going forward with Wallace.
 
Unlike too many FH members who've dug themselves into embarrassing holes and refuse to exit for ego sake, as a true fan, I do hope I'm proven wrong about Tannenbaum. However, putting this jest reject in charge, who couldn't even get a replacement GM job and had to resort to sports agency, inspires about as much confidence as having Melty Ice teach clutchness to other QBs :idk:
 
Allow Tannenbaum to hire a GM and together they should go find the coach for the organization. Then...and only then...can Miami be on the right track.

We are getting closer, but not quite there yet.
 
I had no problems with hs answer to the Wallace question. They're figuring out what to do. Why tip your hand even more than you already have if you try to get something in a trade?

The hope for all of us is that it works and while I don't think much of him as a GM or talent evaluator he's at least better than Ireland was. As long as Hickey continues to evaluate the talent and control the roster we should be OK...for our sakes I hope Philbin is successful because if he's not and he gets fired that means Hickey is most likely gone and the next step is Tannenbaum taking over as GM and the black hole of crap will only get deeper.
 
If the decision on Wallace is really the GM's then his answer would have been different.

if he was really not involved with the draft or the active 51 or player acquisition then he would not have dropped the word 'Collaborate' over & over again

Who was Hickey collaborating with other than his team of employees and the coaches before?
