I don't hate Ireland, I just grade him low his first year, he earned it!! ...
IMHO .. Ireland first year = D- .... NO QB in Draft = shocking, nor in FA = unforgivable. Same for the O-Line. No wonder we can't win a game!! Dunce!! Not smart!!
As far as the Draft ... couple guys look decent, buy way to much fan blah-blah-blah like we've heard every year for 15+ years. Then a couple years later, POOF, they're all gone!! Same Draft story every year.
We shall see ... takes a couple years to see how the draft turned out. Dolphin fans should know this better than most fans ... we've been traveling down hill 15+ years & this is the 2nd time we're flirting with Oh-Fers.
Ireland has not helped in his first year, that's absolutely obvious!! NO question about that what-so-ever!!
If an owner could look in the crystal ball & see ... Team Closing-Day, then see Team Opening-Day ... NOT ONE Owner would hire Ireland for that!! No one!! That's Ireland's reality & cannot be rationalized.
I agree 1 year is too little time to judge, but the first year stunk.
