Being how he's a confidant of Steve's, I wonder if he could nudge Ross into firing Tannenbaum and get his ass outta Miami.

Garfinkle has been great since joining the Dolphins.

He blew the decision to not go back to our old unis though......

Well at least someone is doing something right in this organization.

I have zero confidence in anyone Ross hires or promotes.

When Tannenbaum should have been fired, Ross promoted him. IMO, to this point, every personnel decision made by Ross has been bad for the team.

I love the old unis . . . But there is something special bringing those things out for a big game during the season. Keeps them fresh and in demand.

Being that He's on the so-called "Business Side of Things".........

Maybe this is the Guy to tell Ross how "IDIOTIC IT IS TO NOT BRING BACK OUR THROWBACKS"!!!!

They have no idea, how much $$$ they're costing themselves from a marketing/apparel standpoint!!!

Right now you can sell both the new Jerseys and the throwbacks...double the Jerseys more money to make.

Garfunkel could do a better job at GM than T-Bum. Give him that role too while we’re at it.

Understood...I "for one" am pretty stubborn about it. I do not, and will not wear the Sea World Logo. I HATED it when Ross adopted it, and HATE it even more now. Fortunately, I have enough traditional/throwback caps,tees,jerseys....that I'm in good shape.
Once upon a time, we had one of the best/kick ass unis in the league. Now we have one of the worst.....JMO
