His contract will run alongside Philbin's who also has 2 years left on his contract, I guess both of these guys really are tied at the hip.
 
Interesting. If things really go to **** next season, Ross better still can them both after that and start from scratch. If the writing's on the wall, don't let it fester into 2015- just pull the plug.
 
I think it is a good move by Ross. Go figure...[scratches head]
 
Kind of surprising a GM would sign on with us with that little job security

He's betting on himself! Sort of like Grimes did with a short contract. Sometimes it works....(Grimes) and sometimes it doesn't (Dustin Keller).
 
I have no problem with that. I also have no problem in terms of tying them together as well.

So essentially Ross has an out after next year if it doesn't work out.

But in the chance they stick around for 2 years there are some points.

Ryan Tannehill will have had 4 years by then. Personally I believe we'll see all we need this year in terms of Tannehill.

I believe no playoffs this year and they'll all be gone.
 
yep it goes under in 2014 they both get the axe...sucks for philbin but if you alliance yourself with aponte i guess it is what it is

they'll buy out the final year remaining on each if things dont go well...and by well it probably means playoffs or walk the plank...get your guys philbin...that way at least if you are gonna go out you went out guns a blazing
 
Good nice and short

He was about to be fired anyway
 
Best news I've heard all week!! This confirms that we don't have a strong commitment with him and if this is an utter failure we can get rid of him sooner rather than later! Hallelujah!
 
I heard that on Insiders too.

Nice the commitment is not long. Also, look for moves to try to compete "now" as opposed to pushing things off for later. I am very impatient so I say have at it.

If it does work they deserve extensions. If it does work, not only are they out, but the season will quickly die as well because they will quickly become lame ducks.
 
Thinking both Hickey and Philbin contract expire at the same time?

No buyout, no shrewd move?
 
I can see this thing getting blown up from top to bottom in the near future. I just hope Ross understands in order to do it right, he must completely clean house!!
 
i'd be careful thinking this is a easy thing though...if they cut these two next year as long as aponte is up there pulling strings you are gonna have a lot of candidates backing away except next year it will be for the head coach gig also...

i hope ross wises up but i'm not gonna hold my breath on it

Aponte should be tied to Joe and now Hickey. Agreed.

So you're rooting for a failure? Or are you going to say, " of course I am rooting for them to win, but I just don't see it based on the new GM's first 24 hours on the job."
