    "Jeff Ireland already has the reputation in league circles for being a guy who 'we can't believe he still has his job.' One NFL owner on Ireland's continued employment, 'the craziest thing I've seen in the NFL, more absurd than Matt Millen.'"

    - Mike Silver

    Fire this inept ginger **** mother****er tonight please.

    It really is embarrassing having that clown represent the team. His time has come.

    even if you hate Ireland personally and professionally comparing him to Matt Millen did is profoundly ignorant. You do a disservice to your argument with stuff like this.

    Someone doesn't know the meaning of troll.

    The people who disagree with the job he has done are back (and some have never left). Trolls are people who come into threads discussing this issue, with nothing but company line bull**** to add to the conversation.

    He's not on par with Millen.

    He hired a poor coach. He's on the brink of 5 straight non-playoff seasons with 9-7 possibly his best year.

    I think there is talent on this roster but you have to be held accountable.

    Not in my opinion. Some of us are tired of losing and rubbish football. This GM has had his chance, and failed. What exactly will it take to make people realize that there is something better? He's built a consistent .500 football team, with no hope of improvement because of glaring roster weaknesses. Weaknesses that he has had ample time to fix.

    I've been Fireland through the Steelers and Patriots wins. I'm not a troll because I think Ireland is a mediocre GM who we will never be a contender with.

    You don't get a pass for two wins. I'm sick of this team being mediocre, which we ARE. We won our Super Bowl last week by squeaking out a win over the battered Patriots at home. Big deal, we're the 2009-2011 Jets who played like a championship team against the Patriots and that was pretty much it. We're lucky the AFC is full of mediocrity this season. It won't stay that way for long, and we'll be right back down to a 6/7 win team if Ireland stays.

    Word is Ross hired Philbin, Ireland wanted McCoy.... Which makes sense. In heritage and tendencies. You have Sparano, who isn't really even coordinator material... And now Philbin. Ireland is far from perfect but it's hard to judge him on W-L and ignore the poor coaching factor.

    I don't think so. I think the fact that time and talent lvl along with record will determine his fate. personally after watching our potential Franchise QB take eth beating he has this year Ireland needs to be held accountable.. that Oline has been a work in progress his entire tenure here and it only gets worse. changes need to be made at this point

    Are you related to Jeff Ireland? I don't have a problem with looking at things in context but he clearly has left major holes on this roster, which are a major reason that Miami is losing.

    oh Look , the jeff Ireland fan club is out in full force . Jeff the jerk , has a loyal following it sure smells like some fans just love that ******** no matter how bad the team is Jeff the jerk off gets another free pass. I hate that son of a ***** . why some of these fans love Ireland is beyond reasoning. I guess some fans just love underachieving and losing twice to the Bills good teams don't lose to bad teams . go ahead and make excusses for the jerkoff .

    we were one play of losing three other games so for those that say this team has talent is full of ****.

    next year when we go 7-9 or 8-8 the same jeff the jerk beleivers will say oh he isn't doing so bad. Guess what the window for winning the afc east is officially shut and I cant see it opening for Miami in the near future. I hope some fans get the balls and buy a big sign and it embarrasses Ross .


    Jerk off Jeff Ireland is worthless and he is way worse then Matt Millen was . anybody that would defend Ireland really doesn't want the fins to be respectable

    Nobody is comparing his draft record vs. Millen, that's absurd.

    While they aren't equal, they're both in the can't believe they still have a job department. It's like Ryan Leaf. No QB save for Jamarcus Russell approaches Leaf status, but if you're in the QB bust department, that's who you get compared to.

    Millen is the undisputed leader of GM who should be fired but kept a job for many years after. For those who think Ireland should have been fired 2-3 years ago, that's who they compare him to.

    As Dolphins fans, we're screwed either way. If we keep Ireland, he'll continue to blast huge holes in the roster each year. If we fire him, based on our history he will probably get another GM job somewhere and become a huge, raving success. We are cursed.

    I'm not sure Jeff Ireland will ever get another GM job. He has zero people skills and it's why so many people think of him as a bad guy.

    He really should be a head scout. He knows talent. But he doesn't know how to build a roster or interact well with others.

    In this day and age of soundbites, they go for the biggest impact you can. You're compared to the best (or worst). It's just the way it is. Matt Millen has become synonymous with GMs with jobs nobody can figure out. The Fords stuck with Millen way way too long. It was astounding. People were wearing paper bags to the games. Hell we've had fireland banners and a freaking protest last year lol. Equal? No. Comparable? Sure, everything can be compared.

    I think Ireland has done a much better job than Millen. Hell AJ Smith was ran out of town and he did a pretty good job too.
