in the wake of ceserio himself debunking all the media lies about his interview today, i felt some around here needed some clarifiaction, some facts, some insight.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! i can not believe how many people drank the media hype in gulps!!!
so many people bashing the media, especially the dolphins beat writers and all of a sudden, all these haters with their mis information are now rock solid!!
it was up in the air, so many rumors, is aponte the boss, will the GM be his own guy, etc.... , well, we have a thread posted last night that clarified all that.
HICKEY is his own boss [outside the owner]. he is dawn apontes boss [as it should be]. he is responsable for the draft and free agents.
PHILBIN decides who plays and coaches the team, who sits, who he wants to cut. as it should be.
DAWN APONTE does what she does "best", counts beans, does contracts. again, as it should be.
SO WHAT IS ALL YOU GUYS MAJOR MALFUNCTION? hey, i was concerned about many of the things floating around, especially the aponte mafia. but the PROOF is in the pudding. ross said after canning ireland that the new gm would be his OWN BOSS and absolutely in charge of all personnel, and he kept his word. as was pointed out last night, FROM THE DOLPHINS!! no aponte mafia. no philbin and dawn running the gm and being HIS boss. we are, as of now, a very generic front office. nfl standard. GOOD!! all these writers who said the candidates were RUNNING AWAY from the finz because of the goofy, un-clarified power structure is now DEBUNKED!! just like the media, they created a story and all of them but a SMALL few went for it and wouldnt let it go. heard ANY of those candidate say they didnt like the structure? that is was confusing? no. the onlyh ones we hear that from is...... THE MEDIA!!! it was UP FRONT TO EVERYONE, BEFORE THEY CAME TO INTERVIEW THAT philbin WAS GOING NOWHERE!!
but they made it look like the candidates all wanted philbin gone and were blind sided. not so. all media talk.
"BUT NRA, you dont understand, he was bottom of the barrel, way down on the list". WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! hickey was an EARLY interview. and he was the ONLY candidate the media reported "knocked it out of the park"!! everyone in the room highly impressed [and i believe aponte was in that interview].
AND PEOPLE DONT GET THE FACT that schedules are involved, both with the owner and the candidates. some of the people have to wait for permission to interview. some guys who agreed to interview may have had a commitment prior that had to be taken care of, logistics, is the owner going to THEIR place or is the candidate coming to miami? does the candidates WIFE want to live in south florida, do they want to uproot their family and kids lives. those thing have to be settled by some candidates BEFORE agreeing or asking for an interview. the order of the candidates interviews generally has NOTHING to do with who is favored over who. you cant read into who is favored by WHEN they were interviewed. and i believe that after hickeys "out of the park" interview, HE was the guy to beat. all the others, before and after were competing with HIM!!
the only caveat in this is if there is ONE guy they want far and away over the others. they get that guy in off the bat, especially if there is going to be lots of competition for said candidate. GAMBLE may have been that guy, but, we will never know as he is locked into his home team, decided to stay near his elderly parents and with a team who is a LEGIT contender. cant blame him much.
so, we now know, from a finz source, that everything ross said would happen DID. the media spinned a lot of garbage, many have fallen for it. but we got a BIG TIME talent guy, his forte, which is what was needed in our gm more than anything else. he is his own boss, doesnt answer to aponte as the media tried so hard to portray. the structure is STANDARD NFL, nothing wacky, no 3 headed monster over the gm. SO WHAT IS YOU GUYS PROBLEM EXACTLY?
TONY DUNGY: yeah, he generaly takes the high road when asked about people. BUT, think about it! hickey has been involved with the bucs talent for 18 YEARS!! all of that AWSOME TALENT, PRO BOWLERS IN DROVES, A COUPLE SURE FIRE HALL OF FAMERS that got tony on the map [and that talent winning a superbowl] you have to say HE WASNT FLUFFING!! NO HIGH ROAD!! tony had more talent on his bucs team than he knew what to do with. THATS proof!! and good reason why he TRULY liked the guy. he said all i need to know, dennis is a "top flight football man"!! we need that.
but go right ahead folks. put the blinders on because YOU swallowed the media hype and and cant let go that irelands lacky gaine didnt get the gig [the right move by ross again]. i will stay with the proof of whats happening in the organization and the PROVEN talent man.
