ITS AMAZING what philbin has done despite irelands noodling, medeling and bad drafting and f/a blunders and asenine statements.
no coach could be a winner and deal with what ireland puts on the table year after year.
and this story i am sure is true because we saw right off the bat how philbin feels about malcontents and screw offs and bad seeds, we saw him make quick work out of homey the clown on HARD KNOCKS and then the jettison of that repulsive, sorry azz players council jake and the boys tried to lay on him after cutting HTC [also known as chad johnson]. he ran them at seasons end.
i see hundreds of guys [even ones calling for philbins head] who are always calling for no divas this, and no knucklheads that and no gangstas and get rid of those who dont buy in like billichek does, and then they get all huffy and want philbin gone when he does get rid of them!!
this team is a TOP TO BOTTOM MESS. we FINALLY have a killer wr core and if we can just get tanny to learn how to hit the big play, we have an offense, finally. and i know the usual suspects are chomping to come back with "well, this is ireland, he brought them here, see, he is the real deal"..... . well, if it wasnt for ireland ignoring our offense and bringing in lack luster players every year, we wouldnt have had to spend the zillions on the players we did. and you can bet ROSS told him, get the firepower in here or else because i am sure he felt if ireland was once again left to his own vices, he would have blown it again.
i think ireland tried to muscle and bully ireland with an I'M THE GM, YOUR THE LITTLE COACH UNDER ME" tactic. an "i pick 'em, you just play em" mentality and it has alienated many people caused them to choose corners in the front office. philbin has forgotten more about football than water boy ireland will EVER know!!! and i think that intimidates him.
its LONG past him being run off. and even though i am STAUNCHLY team incognito in this martin bilking the nfl nightmare, philbin was right to want to cut him and we can see we are just fine on the o-line without him. ireland just can not get out of his own way.
all we need to do is keep philbin and staff in place and HIRE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS PERSONELL AND HOW TO GET IT!! this i whats been the achillies heal of the dolphins for 15 years now. ross needs to get the nfl to direct him to the right guy and he needs to GO AWAY and write checks and keep out of the football stuff.
i am completely happy with philbin. no coach is perfect but no coach can succeed with someone like ireland at the helm. phibin, [and the dolphins] will FLOURISH once ireland is GONE!!
