If anything.. I can see Ireland being let go at the beginning of the season for a GM to evaluate the roster. Not now.
Ireland is here for the season, if we stink again the owner will cut him lose as a sacrifice to the fans. His draft picks of the previous few years better start rising to the top or he is out.
Go through Bill Polian's last 5 drafts and tell me how many of those players you like. The only thing that makes Bill Polian an expert is that he decided on Manning rather than Leaf. And of course now he is a member of the media.

The atmosphere around this club has become so toxic that if Ireland isn't out the door right after the draft, we're in trouble.
If you're Steve Ross, regardless of whether or not you think Jeff has done a good job or is the right man for that job, his reputation is so poisoned right now that it is not only destroying your brand image, it's immediately impacting the bottom line.
If we've still got Jeff Ireland calling the shots in June, then Ross is either incredibly stubborn or incredibly stupid.
Yeah let's change GMs just one month before the draft. That certainly will go over well in league circles and in the media.
Accept it, Ireland is Miami's GM at least through the upcoming season.
What good GM would want to come to a team that fires their old GM one month before the draft? The situation gets worse.Ireland sucks and the media already thinks we're dysfunctional. Who cares?

Everything surrounding ireland right now is just people talking. You dont fire someone because people talk bad about him. Warren sapp, Joey Porter, Ryan Clark... who cares what those guys say. Not getting manning... alot of teams that wanted him didnt get him. Not getting Flynn... we didnt appear as high on him as seattle was. Lets not make a knee jerk reaction here.
Agreed. Lets give him another 5 years.Everything surrounding ireland right now is just people talking. You dont fire someone because people talk bad about him.

Apparently Polian.
Why do you think Polian was on the outs in Indy? Have you seen how terrible his past drafts were, particularly in the 1st round?? Donald Brown anyone? Hughes? he's old and out of touch
