    Ross knows it's now or never. That if he doesn't go now, he might not get a shot.

    Here's the scoop

    Story also says that it was Peterson who reached out to Cowher for Ross.

    And I thought he said Peterson would not be part of the Dolphins. Looks like we replaced Parcells with Peterson. Great.....if we don't get Harbaugh, anyone see Herm Edwards as Dolphins coach ? :tantrum:

    That's because Peterson is involved. Can you believe this idiot Ross ? I am just about done with the Dolphins, I swear its close.

    Doesn't matter. Ireland is staying put. Peterson's not on the payroll.

    Also...

    This jives with FFG's info. That we weren't on the radar and he wasn't interested.

    Now that appears to have changed.

    Still can't believe he's doing this without canning Sparano first. We're going to have to follow the Rooney rule even though I'm sure we can find someone on the staff to do it.

    It'll be Saban all over again, and in 3 years, no division titles, and maybe one playoff appearace, he bolts for the Texas job when they finally kick Mack out.

    Now what if Harbaugh signed the deal already tonight?

    Problem Ross has is the Rooney Rule, if he offers a contract straight away he will have violated it, but that is what a 500k fine?

    If anything Peterson makes this situation better. God knows how Ireland will insult Harbaugh!

    The only similarities between Saban and Harbaugh are the fact that they're college coaches.

    Let me guess Ireland was the initial approach Harbaugh didn't like?

    Karl Dorrell comes to mind. But how insulting to that man to put him through that. I really hate that Rooney rule. Its just stupid.

    No, you're wrong. Harbaugh has said he is fine with Ireland.

    If Harbaugh was only interested in leverage, he had the Michigan and Denver openings before we became interested.

    Like I've said before, if Harbaugh does take the job, I worry about it being Saban II in that he didn't really want it, but the money was obscene.

    Then a year later, the guy remembers that he didn't really want the job in the first place.

    I don't like it either. The Vikings didn't have to interview anyone before giving the job to Frazier but the Cowboys do?

    Yes, because every single college coach pans out the same way.

    Gruden turned down our $ 7 million offer ? Really ? I think its NE that hurts us. I think you guys don't see that, but they will be hard to overcome. I am hating Bellicheat more and more.

    If I wanted a cheerleader to be my coach, it would be "Brandi" from the Texans.

    Last I looked, her names not "Harbaugh" nor does she want to coach.
