RUMOR: Stephen Ross wants Jon Gruden AND to keep Jeff Ireland

[Casas9425]

keep in mind that jeff ireland was incharge of this years draft and drafted... mike pouncey, daniel thomas, clyde gates, and jimmy wilson,and charles clay... just saying! looks like a great draft to me

yeah a great draft that has led us to 0-4.

and how the hell spitler is still stealing an nfl paycheck is beyond me...he's not even a good special teams player...but he's active EVERY DAMN WEEK

Crowder is sitting home and Spitler is on the team...it just boggles the mind. Spitler must be a real suck up or related to someone on the Dallas Cowboys

 

[hoops]

i'd like to see us go after the guy ball in green bay as the gm...but i doubt it will happen...i know ted thompson swears by him as his right hand man in packer country

meh...but yeah he'd be more valuable than spitler i guess...i guess

The rookies aren't the reason the team is 0-4. Our defense was top 5 last season and is bottom 2 this season. What's different in terms of personnel? We traded Channing Crowder for Burnett. Are you going to tell me Crowder was worth 26 places of total defense?

I think Mike Nolan deserves a lot of blame for this. I know he did a pretty good job last year and nobody wants to rip on him, but how do you get this bad on defense this quickly with basically the same personnel?

Who wrote that article, Nublar 7?

Who cares. Gruden will turn this team around. Ireland will just collect his paycheck.

 

[Kdawg954]

All this love for Gruden . . . I have seen this story before and it never ends up well. Ross is so interested in selling tickets he would overlook better candidates for big name candidates. Gruden definitely fits the bill but personally I'd go in a different direction. Get a young guy wanting to prove himself at the HC level.

 

[HeartbreakKid28]

I don't trust him...I'd be nervous he would pass on Luck or Jones and draft a RG.

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

I think it's safe to say that if this team has the #1 pick they're going to pick Luck and that's that.

Really the problem is that the Colts are straight up tanking it. If Manning goes on IR, we're screwed.

Ross needs to stop listening to senile Carl Peterson.

Look at the last two Dolphin drafts and you see the Parcells stench all over him. His insistence on using rejects from the Cowboys and trying to find diamonds in the rough at critical positions is not how you build a build a franchise. Sparano is a bad coach but in defense of Tony, look at the crap Ireland has given him to work with. He needs to go so the Dolphins can start fresh.

 

[Phins89]

F**K Jeff Ireland. The Reggie Bush trade (YA, THAT WAS A TRADE) is enough reason alone to get him fired. Meanwhile....Darren Sproles runs for another touchdown.

His insistence on using rejects from the Cowboys

People seem to forget that for some reason.

In fact, the arguments for keeping Ireland sound errily similiar to the ones used to keep Henne.

ie., he needs more time to prove himself, he needs a new coach yadda yadda yadda

You act like Reggie Bush wasnt scoring TDs on the same exact team. Just like right when B Marshall gets here, he stops catching 10 plus TDs every year. Both of those guys are talented NFL players who are underutilized because of poor coaching and mediocre QB play.
