They MUST get rid of McMoron. Anyone who still thinks this assclown is a Head Coach is lying to themselves. He has got to go, as he is the main ingredient in this bowl of crap that is the Miami Dolphins.

In a game that is measured by success and winning...when you own the going record for longest time without a playoffs win, you are most certainly bottom 5. His spending and charity ventures have nothing to do with the success of his football team, and don't put him in any place besides the bottom.
Or is he your uncle?

I don't think this was an enlightenment on his part. I'll digress to make my point. BTW, I have no data to support this. Opinion only.
I'll start with Mcd. I don't think, on self-reflection, he changed anything prior to the ATL game. I think Grier and, maybe Ross, sat down with him with a 'heart to heart' and he HAD to change. The ATL game, IMO, proved that. Didn't seem to carry over to BALT, but he didn't change on his own.
Now, to Ross. We know he saw the signs flying overhead. He can't have missed fans with bags on their heads. We know he heard the booooos. we know he's aware of the between players/coaches. He can't miss the empty seats at home games. He's like Mcd - he didn't have a deep self-reflection. I think the last few weeks compelled him to do SOMETHING. I agree, he waited too long, but often, people make the right decisions after trying everything else. Human nature. Reality has a way of forcing decisions, although it often takes 'too' long.

Ross is a bottom of the barrel owner. I’ve kind of evolved on him. I used to give him credit as a businessman because he’s a billionaire and kind of thought it’s not translating to football.
But at some point, you have to look at his abilities and faculties. He’s got a sports franchise that’s in the conversation for one of the worst in North American sports and he’s presided over it for 16 years, not a small sample size. And it’s never looked worse as it does now.
This is a guy with a wealthy uncle in Max Fisher who funded his college. After Ross was fired from his job, his mom, Fisher’s sister, gave him money for Related based on a single idea related to understanding subsidies for affordable housing. His wealthy uncle was a critical investor and bailed him out when the company was tanking. But for his uncle, he’s a nobody.
Ultimately, he took money from relatives and a basic idea. It’s pretty evident that the smart people were the ones around him. The Dolphins have exposed him. He’s proven that he is incapable of finding on field success. All Dolphins fans can hope for is he gets lucky or someone like Roseman dumbs it down for him.

He's a terrible owner, I'm not sure why this is even debatable at this point.

You could forgive the Jeff Fisher helicopter rides and other stupidities when he was kind of new to the whole thing, and at least point to the fact that he was willing to spend money on big stars for the team.
It's been sixteen years and his decision-making has only gotten worse.

Ross is a MEDDLER, his fingerprints are all over the Dolphin's turdlish moves ... maybe more so than Jerr-uh Jones.
I believe that's why Ross hangs on to his GM & Coach & ?? after they've failed ... he was too involved picking them & they're his genius choices ... thinks he's a football guru & doesn't rely on football professionals.
Proof you, say ... sure there's more, these boners come to mind ...
Engineered a secret Tank, fired Flores ... all for Tua. Lawsuits galore!!
Tampered with Sean Payton & Brady lost us a 1st Round pick, because both under NFL Contracts.
Stuck with Grier & McDaniels way too long & rode them to the bottom of the NFL & STILL stuck with them!!
Its said all current trades are under Ross' approval. ... yeah!! lol

I'll bet its true!!
Got a link for this? Are you sure you’re not confusing the Heat with the Dolphins? Terry Rozier was involved.

You have to believe in at least one thing about Stephen Ross. You know he will habitually do the same things repeatedly.
1. He has fired the GM, but he will inevitably stick it out with the HC. McDaniel will survive the season somehow, and will probably even get an extension as a show of good faith only to be canned sometime mid to late next season or shortly after next season.
2. The interim GM could very well become the GM for years to come without even one good thing to show he deserves it.
3. And if the team doesn't go with the interim GM, this organization will scoop up someone else's assistant GM or a random scout with no GM experience and give that guy a shot for the next decade. BECAUSE nobody is going to want to take over this team with the HC remaining untouchable for the next season.

After the 2015 season he fired both the GM (Hickey) and the HC (Philbin).
This has been his 3rd GM firing. In the previous two, he fired the HC once and kept the HC once.
