Pro football talk article is a bullseye

[Mr Fan]

Speaks about Ross being an absentee owner that is getting played by the kiss buttocks (Grier) front office.

Absentee ownership directly contributes to weird outcomes, like the firing of Brian Flores

The Dolphins have struggled in recent years to find any real flow or rhythm.

Florio is a jackass, and I don’t value his opinion about anything. But this rings pretty true.

 

[Waddle]

We are the laughingstock right now.

Not every owner sleeps with their team like Jerry Jones.

Agree. Jerruh is the owner, de facto GM, & head cheerleader /s?

Ehh. The guy knows how to run a successful business. Giving people a job to do and then letting them do it without your thumb on them is not being inept. It also appears he holds Dan in very high regard so it's not like he doesn't have ears in the building.

That article is pretty spot on; ass kissers keep their jobs. Ross can't even commit to a rebuild. Three years ago, he said, "this time will be different." Just more lies from an inept owner. I hope this team has a losing season for the rest of his life, he's just terrible.

His ears physically reach the building all the way from NY.

Just because you can run a real estate business doesn't mean you know how to run an NFL franchise. And the Dolphins constant dysfunctionality and mediocrity for the ENTIRE tenor of Ross's ownership is all the proof you need. It is all Ross's fault and it always has been

What explains the hideous handling/hiring of assistant coaches?
Horrible

 

[Bridgeburner]

If I think something then Florio thinks the same thing.. I realize that I am wrong and reverse my position.

 

[GhostArmOfMarino]

I have 0 issue with how Grier has built this team.

If it's true that Grier and Flo didn't agree on key decisions and Ross chose Grier, that tells me there are very specific things Flores wanted that bit our ass this year.

Maybe Grier was insistent we hire a top quality OC or OL coach but Flores got his way.

Maybe Grier wanted to address the OL in a different way.

You never really know, but from the wording of the team release it's clear this article is just BS.

 

[MARINO1384]

Came down to Tua. Grier and Ross wanted to build around Tua, Flores has been crying trying to set Tua up for failure ever since he was drafted rather than work with what you got.

Say what you want Jerry actually gives a damn about winning.

I guarantee you he does not run his "real" business like the runs the Dolphins.

He is in the office every day on top of things in NY.

This franchise still has not gotten over Joe Robbie's death.
