Im not sure why people are hesitant to believe that Ireland isnt respected around the league.

On top of his history of utter incompetence and all the controversy's he's been apart of, he could also be viewed as a two faced snake. Think the other owners were impressed when he followed Ross around like a lap dog while Sparano was being thrown under the bus? How about his entire history with Parcells? Sucking up to him then having an apparent nasty "divorce" so to speak. Other teams/owners are fully aware that if they were to hire Ireland he would likely turn on them the minute it suited his purposes(see: Hue Jackson and his inability to land a job with authority after his bald power grab in Oakland).

No doubt other teams in the league love having him employed because that gives them a better chance to win. But its also easy to see why they are baffled about how he has a job. I know i am.
I suspect some around the league have softened up about Millen in the last few years. He took responsibility and resigned, and he did land what most consider to be one of the more dominate players in the league(i have to say "most" because Finfan54 is posting in this thread and he believes Megatron hasnt made the Lions a better team). Which is not to say Millen will be working in the league again, but then again i doubt Ireland will ever get another job with actual authority if he is ever fired from here.

You see, the problem here is the exact problem I said to JTC111.

You fire everyone or Ireland and what are you replacing them with? You think Ross has been consulting with people to find a guy to come right in and take over for his guy Philbin?

Good luck with that. Might as well start all over right now and suck bad for one year with a bunch of rookies/2nd year guys playing key positions. The money has already been spent. Why keep Grimes when he will demand 9-10 mil at least and he is 31?

Why retain anyone? They let their coach down. They couldnt tackle and they couldnt catch a damn ball when it was right in their mits!

Promote somebody on a one year trial, he can't be any worse and if nothing else it'll appease the fanbase.

Link? If not, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
 
The problem is that Ross didn't fire Ireland when he fired Sporano. Now he can't really fire Ireland without firing Philbin, whom he likes. Philbin saving Ireland's job. Still realll hoping Ireland is fired with or without Philbin. Change needs to start at the top (Ireland), and using Sherman as the scapegoat is not really going to change anything.

No.

edit: Well, okay, changed my mind:

I only spent two weeks on the Dolphins when Ireland was the GM. In that short time he won the award for worst GM in my career. #jerk

My reasons for my disdain for Ireland are a long story. It took about an hour to find out what everyone in that locker room thought of him.

I understand GMs always put their teams first. I respect that. But he was being a jerk just because he could. That's why he won the award.

Here's Silver's original article about Ireland's puzzling employment, from November:

"Unlike that scandal (the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal), where ownership stood resolutely behind Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis, Jeff Ireland, the general manager, and head coach, Joe Philbin, in league circles, are not expected to survive this," Silver said. "Jeff Ireland already has the reputation in league circles for being a guy who 'we can't believe he still has his job.' They're 4-4, but there's clearly a void here. Expect somebody to pay."

Not to mention my post was merely speculation, but theres plenty of evidence that the league dislikes him(didnt even quote the "lead the league in grievances filed against him" thing). Now do what you do best: "Its not true because i dont want it to be true!", although you consider just: shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'ing.

Honestly, at this point Im numb to the Miami Lolphins. I dont care what they do because I'm so disgusted with this loser franchise. Year after year after year its the same bull****.

Yesterday literally within about 30 seconds of the game being over I quickly ran downstairs, got my Cuse flag, ran outside my house, took down my Dolphins flag and put up my Cuse flag. I know Cuse wont let me down until the final four :lol: . I couldnt get that flag down fast enough.
