    Jason just said that Ireland is safe, and that they are looking at changing some coaches. Says Cowher is out of the picture. So it looks like the search for Tony's replacement has begun.

    Irish stays? Henning is gone. Tony is maybe. Interesting.

    GOOD!! Gruden lives in Fla? Right? Hire him. Heck, I'll take Singletary over Tony. How much to get Harbaugh from Stanford?

    I think Harbaugh is the guy who is top on my wish list. I don't have a lot of interest in Gruden as much as I like him. I was not impressed with the way the Bucs deteriorated under him. If someone can explain why it wasn't his fault, I'd be willing to listen. Cowher is way high on my list, but if Ireland is safe then he's probably out of the picture.

    I was being sarcastic on Dictator Mike, but my point was I would take anyone over Tony now after the team folded like a cheap beach chair against NE's 2nd stringers and practice squad players alike. I would say hire one of Belichik's coordinators but I don't think he has any left, LOL and when they leave there they stink for some reason.

    Sparano press conference hasn't started yet. Can't mean anything good for Sparano.

    Chris is there a show tonight ? If there is, I can't wait to hear your diatribe about yesterday's game & the season as a whole. That should be worth at least a bag of popcorn & a pepsi and sit back and listen and laugh (and cry) my *** off

    I'm really happy Ireland is staying. I know he's had some mistakes but he's brought a lot of good players to our team.

    The talked about name is Harbuagh, Ireland does have ties to him, which would make sense if they want to use Irish to lure in Capt Comeback.

    I think it usually starts at 11:30. Might mean nothing. Could mean my connection is bad or something too. Anybody else getting the conference? I just have the screen saying it's starting at 11:30.

    He hardly said he was staying... he said the odds are good. "The source states that the Dolphins are strongly considering parting with head coach Tony Sparano, but are likely to retain general manager Jeff Ireland. Ireland has built a strong rapport with Dolphins owner Steve Ross and has close ties to former Kansas City Chiefs president Carl Peterson, a longtime friend and confidant of Ross."

    If Ross wants this to work these guys have to all go and whoever he brings in needs to have control of who he wants scouting etc etc. None of this Jerry Jones sh*t, you see where that got Dallas. If COwher wants his own dude out there getting talent so be it. It was Cowher's crew who scooped up Rothelisberger, Ward, Holmes and like 1/2 of Pittsburgh defense which is still holding strong today! Cut the bullsh*t ties and lets win some goddam football games. Never mix friendship and business.

    If they are talking about changing "some" coaches that could mean a bunch of things. Sparano without some of his top assistants, Henning or Lee. Or just keeping the Defensive staff aboard. or a mix of these two. Maybe they are asking Tony if he wants to coach with a forced overhaul of his staff.

    Damn, that's too bad, but yeah I forgot about the OB. I want to see that one, and see if Stanford and put a beating of monumental proportions on that smug Beamer.

    Ross is probably still out of country and Ireland is on the road.

    May just be a courtesy. Ross likes the guy and wants him to finish up the year end presser. Cam Cameron had the same chance IIRC.

    I was just wondering if Cameron gave the last press conference. Sparano did seem to give an eerie farewell to the media. Something to the affect of, "Thanks, I appreciate your professionalism men."

    I hear you. Only thing I can say to that is Harbaugh was in the NFL for a long time and he knows the score, unlike little Hitler who learned he couldn't control grown men like he could college students.

    I cant agree more, I would rather Ross not use the Dolphins as Guinea pigs for Harblah. Get a proven guy in here goddamit, there are some good names out there.

    Good players don't always make good coaches. We get stuck with another guy with no NFL experience we might as well pack it in. I support zero part of a move like that.

    Would love to hear the reasoning as to why you believe this would be such a bad thing? From everything I have read he is not just a normal College HC. Will see if I can find some stuff about him that I can post here, Most of what I read was in the club section. I was pretty much of the same mindset as you guys, but took the time to find out more before I made up my mind.
