Salguero: The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday

[finfan54]

Incredible that he didnt even consider the possibility that this team would fall short. Simply incredible.

You know, people on here love to slam other posters by calling them "armchair GM's" and some of us have pointed out that members of this forum have proven to be more consistently accurate then the people running this franchise. Anyone have any doubts about that now? Even if we didnt think it would happen, the vast majority of the people who post on this forum at least considered we might fall apart at the end. Didnt even occur to our bloody owner. Incredible.

Then please at draft time tell us how it should be done. but you wont, you are a reactionist.

My question is who are the morons that approved ross to become an NFL owner?

Dude should have already had Plan A, Plan B and Plan C drawn up last month and Plan A should have been sent to the shredder about 4:30 pm Sunday.

We are never going to get ahead of the pack as long as this whack job is steering the ship. Just give the damn keys to the operation to jimmy buffett. ****!

Incredible

The problems start with Sherman. He did not utilize RT with rollouts and bootlegs which is his strength. It helps the OL control the game better too.

Sherman was in shotgun way too much with a crappy Oline who couldnt handle it. He did not utilize or change up into strengths of Tannehills.

First guy that needs to go is Sherman.

Gaine is the only guy IMO who could take over Irelands job because he is already in house. He should have a pulse on this team already.

I don't know maybe I'm wrong, but I think he didn't and still doesn't plan to get rid of anyone. He's waiting, hoping everything will cool down with time. Seems like everybody I hear are saying the Dolphins should not get rid of anybody, that they should stay on the same course. They talk about the McKinnie situation and how good they came through it, etc. I don't agree, somebody is responsible for that situation, and the melt down at the end of the season.

Ownership vacuum.

Polian is horrible and yet Ireland is a boss wtf

I like Polian. He drafts character. He would have never taken on Incognito and he said so weeks ago.

He was the greatest GM in Bills History. He put that team together. In Indy, he was smart to take Manning over the other bust. Every GM wears out there welcome just like coaches at some point.

Sherman is holding this team back more than anyone. Ireland is just enemy #1 for long time.

I have no problem with polian I love how people act like he sucks even though he built winning teams yet slurp all over Ireland has never built squat in his six years as Gm. I have now convinced myself that we should look at hiring Scott Pioli he has an overall good history as a Gm and has built three playoff teams.

How did this dingbat earn a billion dollars?

Probably by thinking through all the important business decisions that he had to make and not jumping the gun. He probably weighed the pros and cons of all his decisions to figure out which one was the correct one and would make him the most money.

While I agree that removing Ireland is important, I can understand his thoughts on whether to keep Philbin and force him on a new GM, or allow a new GM to decide to keep Philbin or not, or to blow out the entire staff. I can understand his thought process because I do it all the time and I am sometimes caught off guard when something I expect to happen or be told is not what it should have been. You need to make changes in thought and it doesn't make sense to just make a quick decision when a day or two is not going to make any difference in anything.

The talk out of Miami is that Sherman may be gone. Bob Macadoo in GB QB coach.

He would be good in transition too as an old man. He would probly do it under these circumstances and he was around our camp alot last August. All he would have to do is work with Gaine and maybe tutor him into the position.

Ireland has had ample time to right this ship you cannot blame anyone for wanting to dump him and his 2013 offseason didn't do anything to change that.

I heard La Canfora say that yesterday, he said that other teams had wanted him in the past but the Packers had blocked it. He said this year his contract was up.

 

[finfan54]

Just feels like he is being advised to wait until the league completes the investigation and the results are made public to avoid any possible legal issues. Its the only thing that makes sense to me.

but he said weeks ago that Irelands job was safe. That is prob an endorsement that not much will happen to the fins in this regard with the high ups. Opinions around the league had changed to Martin is just a sour*****.

and its a step up per rules.

Haha he didn't think the Fins would lose!!! I guess he hasn't payed attention the 10 years! What happened every time they fool us into thinking they aren't a joke of an organization?? They choke! The owner is dumb enough to not consider the possibility of losing to the Jets, most of us fans knew it was a strong possibility. I thought this guy had great business sense?

Sad thing is, by the time Ross pulls his head out of his a**, the best candidates for ALL positions will be hired by other teams. Dig in, the next 10 years will be as cold as the last 10...

This, in a nutshell, is the whole issue. At this point of the year the question isn't "who is the ideal coach for the Miami Dolphins" because no Don Shulas, Bill Bellicheats or Bill Walshes are really out there. Chip Kelly may be the new Bill Walsh, but he's not leaving Philly anytime soon. The question right now is "who can we get that is better than the Ireland/Philbin combo?" ... and it's not a particularly good year for coaching candidates. I'm scratching my head to come up with guys who would take the job who are better than Philbin.

I like Chudzinski, but his scheme is so polar opposite to what we run now that it would be a huge change ... and Philbin outperformed him thus far even through adversity. None of the coaches that seem likely to come to Miami look like better offensive guys, and our defense already looks solid. Clearly we need upgrades all across the OL and at TE, but that's something a GM can address in the offseason.

There are some good GM candidates out there, and I would definitely look at some of those guys, especially from organizations like Green Bay, Atlanta and Baltimore where they have hit on a lot of their draft picks over the last few years. If we add just a GM, then Philbin & Co. have exactly 1 year to get things right ... but it seems to me he has earned that next year given the turmoil endured this year and the lack of blue chip replacements.
