GM's candidates questioning position: Farmer head of the pack

Man I was afraid of this...

this whole love triangle with Ross, Philbin and Aponte is disgusting.

 

Ross could make this whole process a lot easier if he just gave our new GM the authority to decide Philbin's fate

 

Don't you get it? He doesn't want to do that bc he thinks Philbin is great for some reason. I wish they would have canned everyone, or just kept them together for a year. I hate this half assed measures crap.

 

This is so silly. If they are concerned why don't they ask the question in the interview. Actually I find it hard to believe it hasn't been asked.

 

Except it's been said time and again that GM's don't usually have the ability to do that. They can suggest the coach be fired, but it is still the owners call.

 

lol, so candidates are interviewing and thinking "Boy, I'd love to fire that Philbin and become the Czar, but this Dawn and Ross characters are just ridiculously blocking me!"

 

It's pretty typical of Miami's direction under Stephen Ross.

 

For the billiionth time, LaConfra is a liar. Stop believing what he writes.

 

The problem is, EVERYONE is saying the same thing.

Dawn Aponte is clearly angling herself into running this football team, everything that comes out says the same thing, she is very involved. TOO involved in my opinion.

 

As Pete said in another thread, who better to explain the state of the team with salary cap and budgets?

 

Thats only because it generates hits. The possibility of the first female GM or czar would naturally.

 

Because it's probably completely MADE UP.......

 

Y'all can speculate, I'm gonna let it play out and watch some college prospects.

 

Yeah, thats the ticket....Turn the prospects sour to the Dolphins, yeah...

 

What ever you say man, I'm all for it.

 

No they really aren't.

 

Not really. It' mainly been La Canfora and Cole, and even Cole has backed off a little bit since Ross made his statement. Darlington, Jaremiah, and the ESPN guys have not been in the camp, especially since Ross' press release.

If GM's were really so weary of the structure, then why are some of the best candidates in the NFL interviewing?

 

Fans, other league executives, national media. Take your pick.

this could be the second time we lose out on Tom Gamble because of our owner's unwillingness to sever ties with his team's coach or GM...the first time Harbaugh was probably hesitant to work with Ireland, which makes perfect sense, and reports say had we hired him and let him choose his GM he would have picked Gamble....and now we might miss out on him again because of this Philbin/Aponte partnership.

 

FFS Ross.
If true, its one step forward...two steps back.

 

GM's like having money to spend. Ross will open his account. And you need someone like Aponte to make sure we make deals that keep us financially competitive. I think. Our cap situation is one of the reasons people want to come here. Its that way
.because of Dawn Aponte.

1. We aren't that bad. One win away from the playoffs? How many incoming gms get to take over a team that close?

2. The gm position is probably the hardest to obtain in the league. Coordinators come and go. Hc's even have a lot turnaround usually, but gm is a tough gig to get. Guys who are hungry for a gm job are likely to take whatever one they can.

3. You know...and I know this is a crazy thought...its possible sone of these potential gm's might like philbin as a coach. I know, crazy, but its possible...

4. Solid cap space. All our picks. Young qb whose progresing well.

 

Good young qb
lots of cap with an owner willing to spend
team that is not far from being relevant

 

unwarranted assumption that he won't come here because of Philbin.

 

Some just want to believe the worse.

 

I'll reserve judgement until after we hire someone. I think the process for us is under the microscope far more than any GM search I've ever seen. Let it play out. Honestly the fan base here needs to just shut the **** up and let things play out sometimes.

 

we are like 30 million under with the possibility to be 40 million under.

 

So every single media source is lying? Every single one of them has a vendetta against the Dolphins? I could maybe buy into what you're selling if you only thought that about one or 2 people in the media. But when your story is the same no matter what negative Dolphins story is reported or no matter who reported it, it starts to have little meaning.

 

Things are better without Ireland.

 

Is it more than one story or are they all piggy backing on the original story?
