Lets see, let me help you. Savage holds the same positon with Baltimore that Speilman holds with us. Pro Football Talk has this to say about that:
Mike Florio Pro Football Weekly:
One league source tells us that, of the entire slew of candidates who have been interviewed, only Ravens director of college scouting Phil Savage is remotely qualified to ascend to the position of General Manager for the Miami Dolphins. If any of the other candidates interviewed to date gets the job, the entire process (according to the source) was a sham.
Others think that even Savage doesn't have the full complement of skills necessary to be a true G.M. Though he's widely regarded as a rising star with respect to preparing for the draft, Savage has no real experience when it comes to navigating the increasingly-treacherous waters of free agency and the salary cap.
Oh yes and lets see there is Thomson who is VP of Seattle's operations. Now there is a success story...NOT! Last I checked the Seahawks have not won anything either. In fact they are not as good as Miami is right now.
Any other ideas or are you getting the point yet? This move was made because there was no real name GM out there. The only person they would have hired that would have been a signifigant move was Ron Wolfe. No one else qualifies. So they start here and let Dan be the man of judgement and enforcement. He will not stand for the complacency that this organization has had for four years. If they don't get it done they will be gone.
