Randy Mueller Is One Lucky *******
Can anyone explain to me why general manager Randy Mueller got a two-year extension from the Miami Dolphins?
The man hasn’t done anything of measure just yet.
Sure, Mr. Mueller just completed the most recent rework of the Dolphins roster. But anyone from Charley Armey to Ted Thompson can cut and sign players.
Only the best of the best can field a competitive team year after year. Philadelphia Eagles head man Andy Reid and New England Patriots VP Scott Pioli are two such men – and they certainly deserve their positions, prestige, and pay.
However, Randy Mueller hasn’t shown us jack. While he can’t be entirely blamed for Nick Saban’s ill-conceived moves, he was there and he was working as part of the Dolphins personnel department. Maybe he didn’t want the gimpy Daunte Culpepper. Maybe he didn’t want to draft safety Jason Allen. Maybe he didn’t think much of former defensive tackle Manuel Wright. But the fact remains that those moves occurred with Mueller on the payroll.
Now, after another off-season of questionable moves, Mueller is given a two-year extension – even though a down of football hasn’t been played yet. In yet another move of stupidity, H. Wayne Huizenga and Friends have handed over the keys to the Dolphins organization as if it was a jalopy.
Shouldn’t Mueller be given an extension AFTER his moves have proven to be successful?
While many bashed the Ted Ginn, Jr. pick, we cannot say whether or not Ginn is a bust yet.
While many question the acquisition of Trent Green, he hasn’t played a single game for the Dolphins yet.
While many still don’t understand why tight end Randy McMichael was let go, his replacement, David Martin, hasn’t had a chance to prove himself yet.
But that’s the problem – some or all of these decisions may play out to be disasters.
All in all, this extended contract reeks. It shows that the Miami Dolphins, and in particular, its ownership, don’t have a clue on how to conduct football business. A general manager shouldn’t be rewarded until his ship has come in – and not any time sooner.
