ross being out of town during the most important hire of his young ownership looks VERY disfunctional.
and, looks like they have made up their mind who it is. and its probably GAINE.
PROMOTING GAINE: worst move ross could make. we are going to move up IRELANDS lacky? the guy who was so instrumental [according to the media reports] in gathering the "talent" for jeff ireland? you HAVE TO BE KIDDING? plus, if they bring all these guys in the door who have MUCH MORE experience in personel, one a former gm, then it will cement the idea around the league that miami truely IS a disfunctional team with no real direction. the candidates that DID interview will remember being jerked around as nothing but a pacifier for the fans that looked high and low for the "right" gm but in the end hired irelands lacky. gaine would be the nail in the already poor reputation ross DOES have around the league.
PLUS: boss ross is on the plane AND saying more candidates are coming in? WTF?
and finally....... NONE OF THE FINZ STAFF IS AT THE SENIOR BOWL? has that ever happened? has there ever been a staff that did not send ONE of there staff to such an important talent event?
this gives credit to 3 things: the choice is and always has been BRIANE GAINE. he has already been studying this years crop of college players. they keep him away from what would be a SWARMING media all over him about the GM position, is he really a candidate? does he actually want the job? who is the ral candidate for the job? is the organization as disfunctional as reported? and we havnt heard one peep from him anywhere. and 3? all this makes this topic of the people around the league steering candidates away from TAKING the gm gig in miami. and thats whats meant, not INTERVIEWING because that helps a guys career, that he was CONSIDERED for a promotion on a team. TAKING the job is another story. and i do believe as of now, this rumour of steering candidates away from miami could actually be true. bad organization, cloudy direction, dawn aponte, and seething pay back from liberal and militant media over the [still impending] martin situation.
its a mess. its gone on to long and we all know, where theres smoke, there is fire. where there is a LOT of smoke, there is a BIG fire!!
and...... i think the aponte-gaine-ratfinkle 3 headed power monster is apparent. and who wants to try and gm under that?
