The bottom line is, it doesn't mean a hill of beans. They ask the opinion of the two players that most fringe Dolphins fans have heard of and then they publicize that they asked them. That's simply to keep the fan base, show those two guys that draw the most fans that they do care about their opinion.
If anyone thinks that they hire a coach based on how two players feel, God help us. We won't win again if two players have that much say in who we hire. Peyton loves Dungy, look how far that's gotten them. Parcells brings Bledsoe and Glen with him wherever he goes, that's been a winning combo. Come on. It doesn't matter whose opinion they ask for, what matters is that we see they've asked JT and ZT opinion.
Furthermore, Daunte doesn't seem to be the most intelligent guy out there. I doubt whether he'd have much of an opinion other than who he likes as a person and doesn't like and even that may be a stretch for him.
