Those who say personnel decisions have held us back are Tony's best defenders and visa versa. We had a good OL in year one and a decent QB and defense and weak schedule. So far this year, we lost to 3 playoff teams due to the defense. This shows that personnel selection is the real issue. The offense is not great but better than all years past. Getting rid of R&R was good. Our secondary depth is lacking. We needed a true free safety but were cheap in FA. Every game so far has been at least entertaining and competitive but the defense just sucks and can't get off the field. No pass rush, no coverage and poor tackling. We drafted offense this past year and now need to look at the defense. Tony deserves the chance to show any skills he has since this season is over. We will win when Vontae comes back and Wilson takes over for Smith. Clemons will also help. I also say Matt Moore can be very good: great footwork, tight spiral and touch. Henne is a backup.

Look at how long Kubiak has been given. Norv Turner has underachieved. We have been impatient because of a belief that Parcells could right the ship. How bout Andy Reid. Dungy won a single super bowl against a lousy Bears team. I say we need a new DC.
 
The D just does not adjust. No one can cover.. Anytime the qb drops back he is completing a pass... Players are running wide open..Just does not make any sense that Tony can be this bad of a coach..
 
Competitive? Sure. Entertaining? Not one bit. Other than the Cheatriots game, it was excruciating to watch the Dolphins play...
 
It seems clear Ross vetoed big spending in the offseason so he could move forward if he does not like the Team's progress this year. Nolan is gone. He is on a hot seat. Sean Smith sucks.

we can go round and round on this ad nauseam and we have. listen man its plain and simple. tony sucks period. hes a terrible game manager. and hes a poor leader. this team stopped playing for him LAST SEASON. these threads are pointless
 
Here it is in a nutshell...

When as he puts it buying the groceries Parcells just isn't that good! He had no control with the Giants and those were his best years, the lack of power in New York is why he tried to leave the Giants. To bad for him the Commish Rosenthal was not keen on his baby games and told him you signed a contract fulfill it! His Patriot years while buying the groceries were nothing more then mediocrity, and when new owner Robert Kraft saw the game changing the need for speed, and Parcells stuck in the dated philosophy. Kraft took the power from Parcells. This is when his infamous phrase "if they want you to cook the dinner the least they can do is let you buy the groceries" was born. Krafts vision lead the Patriots to their first ever Superbowl, while Parcells typical to his ego driven spoiled brat self started circulating the rumors he was leaving New England. On to the Jets and total control, he won the hearts of the fans with a brilliant first season and the hopes of a Superbowl, well 3 total seasons, a roster full of big slow players, and failure Tuna bolts New York. Dallas calls and fresh off a divorce divested of the majority of his lives work Parcells signs a mega deal to return the Cowboys to glory! Well the owner coach battle brews right away when Parcells the self proclaimed draft expert wants to draft Spears over Ware. Owner wins selects Ware and then Spears several selections later. Parcells just couldn't believe another owner was trying to force him to build speed, dozens of battles later without a bit of success Parcells leaves. Each side claims it was of their own decision, while Jones was caught on camera saying Parcells is a overrated fraud(which he is right by the way)

Enter the Miami Dolphins, in the midst of a terrible season yet to win a game. A storied franchise that boast the winningest record in all if professional sports! The only NFL team to lay claim to the perfect season! A fan base hungry to claim their spot ontop the AFC East, choking on years of bad drafts and personnel decisions. Defunct of leadership new coach Cam Camoron is ruining the club. A wide eyed aggressive owner with deep pockets, but most important is known to give complete power to his football people and keep his checkbook open. This is the obvious choice for the Biggest Fraud, Smoke And Mirrors Mercenary in NFL history. So he signs a lucrative contract that gives him total control, but most important A Golden Parachute guaranteeing 100% payment regardless off results!

Most Dolphin fans jump for joy! The Finheaven server crashes from thread after thread laying claim to the Lombardi Trophy. The trifecta is assembled what a winning crew a young up and coming assistant coach fresh off of having his play calling duties stripped from him and Dallas! A bold GM that has never done more then talent scout all lead by Tuna and his mighty one playoff win while buying the groceries! The trifecta waste no time going to work and the 3yr plan is born, a commitment of being the biggest slowest ground and pound cornfed team the NFL has ever seen.

Ireland and Sparano aren't any good! They most certainly aren't anything special! They are simply F.O.B(friends of Bill), but most important they are yes men! They were carefully selected because not only would they go along with the Parcells way, but like sheep they will take the blame for the failure!
 
Parcells left this franchise early and in a mess. . Ireland does not seem to be shouldering any blame and was with Ross the whole way in trying to secure Harbaugh. . neither of these men can be trusted. . but the way they treat Sparano now is an indication of how the next coach, and there will be one either before week 17 or shortly after, will be treated..of course it is all an illusion. . any losing coach has a countdown timer on his forehead. . TS should NEVER have come back after January for his own self worth and pride he should have walked. .

Im so angry at the ineptitude and shady dealings and lies, lies and more damn lies that I really dont expect us to even get one win this season based on current performance and confidence.

Ross is smiling through his teeth while slowly plunging in the knife behind the back of Sparano who is handicapped by Ireland and the mess 'the Tuna' left behind. .along with Sparano honestly being in over his head. . I said last season he was in over his head. I still believe it to be so.

I dont really think he has the locker room, I dont believe Ross has confidence in him and I dont think Ireland is being man enough to admit liability either. . between the 3 of them this franchise looks like being in the toilet for at least another 5 years!!!

Oh and also Ross says we have a lot of talent. . so what are they saying there. . Ireland has done a good job of bringing in the right guys. . read between the lines. . this is all on Sparano. this is what I mean about Ireland not being a man about it. . if we had talent and confidence we would be winning. . ineptitude is killing us and it always rolls downhill..

The thing is . . the players are all saying they back Sparano. . do they . . really or is this the political posturing we see week in week out from interviews. . who is really going to stand out while on the pay roll and say, ' our coach stinks'. that would be suicide!

Ross cant publicly denounce TS otherwise you lose all credibility. . not that Ross has much in my view after the Harbaugh fiacso back in January. . the confidence does not just have to be owned by Sparano and Ireland but also Ross. . does anyone have confidence in him as an owner?
 
Great synopsis. However, do you want to gut the team and wait 3 years for the next mega coach to fail. This is where I am torn. We are a young team across the board. We will be better if only because players get better. The defense is the issue.

I agree with most of your post, however not winning a gam (your words) would guarantee Luck. If Miami gets Luck there is not a chance this franchise is "in the toilet for another 5 years". The culture would change, we will have a new head coach capable of leading a NFL team. The pieces are here.
