Active Roster
What you want is the best football mind available, who has a track record of identifying good talent and making good decisions regarding players. I want a strong GM, because we don't particularly have a strong coach, and we have an owner who is unfamiliar with running a football team. That's it, in a nutshell.
If we get that person, then we can go forward. Philbin either works out this season or doesn't, worst case scenario he's fired and we start fresh, and the GM starts rebuilding the organization.
As far as the local media, they are shut out of the information process, so when they're fed stuff, like Armando, they get all excited and start printing it. But the people who feed him info have agendas, as everyone does. A real journalist would tell us what was going on sooner than 5 minutes before or after something happens.
When I was writing that whole thread about the O line history, I came across an assertion by Armando that the interest in McKinnie was a bluff because he's not a Philbin guy. And here we are, with McKinnie on the team.
I have no idea what happens behind the scenes and I feel like I still don't. But it's apparent to me the draft didn't work out, some FA's got hurt, Tannehill focused on chemistry with Hartline more than he did Wallace, and we had no real LT, and all of that was a headache for Jeff Ireland. It's also apparent to me that Ireland gave us a roster that beat playoff teams, put us in a position to easily without question win a wildcard spot, and we laid an egg. That's on Philbin. I don't think Tannehill was developed enough or utilized correctly and that's on Philbin, also. The Incognito/Martin saga I also put mostly on Philbin because that's his locker room. So I felt they all should have been shown the door.
