How is it you propose to "Clean house"?
Seeing as how the owner is the owner.

Time to clean house! And a total rewind!
- Thread starter Finfanforever
- Start date
And it's only the first few weeks of the NFL offseason!

Blowing what Up? Mediocrity? What do we have right now? Average Head Coach. Goofy Owner. Unproved QB, no Running Back or O Line. Laughing Stock Bully Gate. Time for real change dude. Blow this **** up.
So you vent and start a threat about something that has been discussed AD NAUSEAM? Literally the EXACT same things you are venting about has been said a millions times already. Thanks for sharing.
Philbin isn't going to be fired. #3 isn't going to happen either. End of story.
Blow it up and do what? What exactly is your plan?

I'm as fed up as the next fan, I have very little faith in Philbin and am pretty shocked at how much Ross supports him (but he ain't the brainiest one). With that said, the "blow up" crowd at this time of the year is flat out idiotic. We're stuck with what we got for 1 more year minimum, that's a fact and people will need to get used to it. Thought there were no good GM prospects the first run through? Lets see who we can reel in a week before the combine! Did you see the Brown's pitiful search for a HC? Well we would like identical at this point. It's mid February people, blowing it up is a cute idea but you guys obviously have no contingency plan.

I agree with you and Philbin should've been fired based on the performance in the last 2 games alone. Fact is Philbin's not getting canned, if he was they would've let Caserio do it. In my mind, if we miss the playoffs next year, Joe and Hickey must go and maybe we can get Harbaugh. While I prefer the 70's uniforms, we're not bringing them back. While Ross makes Huizenga look like Ed Debartelo Jr, we're going to have to deal with him at least for a few more years. It is a travesty what has happened to this once proud franchise, but things can change rather quickly in the NFL and every team goes through a rough stretch. One guy can change the entire dynamic of a franchise, whether that be a player, coach, GM, or owner. Our savior is out there somewhere.

I would Trade Down. Stock pile talent. Get rid of dead weight like Daniel Thomas, Michael Egnew, Matt Moore. Get Dion Jordan on the Field. We have been bad at evaluating our own talent. Guys leave here and play better elsewhere, just look at Dansby and Bush this past year. We should have never hired Hickey we need to get young behind the scenes and on the team. Should have hired the Dude from New England, let him fire Philbin, get rid of Dawn. All we have doing is been playing it safe which breeds mediocrity. It will be more of the same this year. Trust me. We are not going anywhere with Joe or Ross. So to answer your question, blow it up, let the best players play no matter where they are drafted instead of holding on to scrubs like Matt Moore and Daniel Thomas, think either of those Dudes are playing let alone starting on any other NFL team? Nope. Let's see what Pat Devlin can do this pre season etc. Play the best Dudes.
Cant stand losing man. We finished in 3rd place this past year after starting out 3-0. Went 4-4 at home, not good enough. Need real changes and direction, not currently happening with the Dolphins as the usual.

That's not a plan...that's cutting dead weight. Who's your coach, who's your GM?? I get that this should have been the strategy at the START of the offseason, but without a time machine there's simply no way we would be able to improve this team through cleaning house this late in the process.

Good Point Dude. We are in Finheaven so it really at the end of the day does not matter, nothing we can do.
But I would have liked this much better.
GM Nick Caserio
Head Coach Mike Shula
That would have brought real change. We passed on Caserio, who did a awesome job with New England personnel decisions for old balls Hickey from Tampa...
Mike Shula could have brought history and a sense of resurgence back. Instead 2014, same old slop.

If his name was Mike Shmuck would you still hire him? If you wouldn't then I'm not sure that would've been a smart move. I definitely agree that Caserio would've been an upgrade.
Personally I would've started the whole process a couple days sooner, walking papers on the first Monday to Ireland and Philbin. Then I'd get the best guy I can, Licht would've been up there assuming a couple of the other guys like Gamble and Decosta weren't interested. Then I'd let him pick the coach, maybe a guy like Wisenhunt. But I haven't put enough thought into a coach...it has been far to obvious from the start that Philbin would be kept for whatever reason.

I agree Dude. I think the GM we would have wanted, would have wanted to Fire Philbin, which is the reason we are now stuck with Hickey. As far as Mike Shula, he did a great job in Carolina, and I would be more excited about giving him a shot (it's in his blood) what has Philbin ever done? You may not agree, but I think Shula could have brought back a stability and a new start. Lat year was a disaster in every way, the last 2 games, bullygate. Shula has credibility because of his Father, and the job he did last year. A legacy dude. Philbin will be more of the same next year.

I can't say I've tracked Mike enough to be confident saying one thing or another, I think he's just a natural link because of his dad so I'm hesitant when his name is thrown around. I doubt he'd bring less to the table than Philbin tho. I think a Cesario/McDaniels combo was the most plausible, and would've left us in better long term shape.
