    In what way? Requesting permission to interview candidates, do an initial round of interviews, and then reduce it to some finalists for another round of interviews? All the time...

    Somebody stop the merry go round when we have a definitive answer to what's going on. One minute it's pure hysteria because it's reported Farmer is staying with the Browns....then its reported that that is not entirely true. Then it's reported the Browns are ready to hold a press conference to announce Farmer is staying. So far none of any of this is a reported fact. Just a lot of people trying to jump the gun and be the first to blast this team and organization. Plenty of time to do that when the final decisions are actually FINAL

    I thought it was all media bull**** and the organization was just fine?

    When ENOUGH media people say the same damn thing that is usually smoke and where there is a lot of smoke there is usually fire.

    We are a ****ing laughingstock and will remain so until Ross sells or does what he should have done, fired EVERYONE. No one wants to come into this half assed mess.

    So, you felt Philbin deserved to be fired after only 2 seasons, taking over for a 6-10 team and going 7-9 and then 8-8?

    What have I glossed over regarding the hiring process? If you want to talk about the hierarchy structure that was decided on, that's completely different than the hiring process. I personally don't agree with the structure that's been decided on... but the hiring process has been quite standard.

    None of this looks good and the Dolphins should just make a freaking decision about the GM and move on.....having said that though, all the Incognito/Martin crap here is resurfacing due to the "transparency" Ross promised going forward. He would be called out by the local media if he wasn't transparent (since he promised it), but all the transparency is making the team look foolish.

    Just me, I'd rather go back on my word about the transparency and take crap from the fish-wrap guys in Miami than make the Dolphins look like a national laughingstock...........

    Yes.

    When you need one win to make the playoffs and lose is astoundingly ugly fashion to two inferior teams and miss the playoffs that is a fireable offense.

    I have no confidence in the man. I think he is uninspiring and wishy washy. We got out coached routinely.

    Everyone should have been fired. Clean the stench out of the building. Rebuild the organization from the ground up, like an expansion team that got REALLY lucky in the expansion draft.

    Yeah, I live in Ohio and the Brownie's are going nuts up here. Coach fired after 1 year, discussion about who would even want the job w/ their owner, etc. It's bad up here. They don't think top candidates will entertain their offers.

    I could agree with your point if it were just the local media making such light of this...but its the national media. And no I havent seen anyone else lampooned like this nationally in quite some time.

    Man, I'm getting old. Never thought I'd see lol's, lmao's, and hashtags being used to discuss football amongst grown men. There are no character limits guys, just intellectual ones apparently... but thanks for sharing your laughter, I guess. You always provide more than enough for us. Ireland is gone, but nothing's changed with yall.

    I don't get this logic. Sure you can be happy it's not Farmer. But this news has to signify to you that qualified applicants want nothing to do with this job. Ross has absolutely bungled the search from the get go. It's not about Farmer. It's about how ****ed the process is.

    No, there's one person to blame. The person who's idea it is to use that structure... Not that I want to be that guy... but I'm lookin at you here Mr. Ross.

    yup....this was supposed to be a thumbprint hire for Ross. He has swallowed some bad advice...but he chose to swallow it.

    What? Seriously... tell me what about the process of selecting and interviewing has been non-typical? I'm not talking about the structure. If you are... then that's fine. But you've said you are critical of the hiring process... which has been no different than any other hiring process.

    I think you are to narrowly characterizing what I said. Im talking the entire process..all of the decisions that have been made sincr we fired Jeff Ireland. Not the litteral hiring procedure itself.

    And just the other day someone tried to call me out when I said it'll be Gaine. Gotta find that post and give that person a two-finger salute.

    As much as I would have hated it, I almost think we'd have been better off.

    Yes I did type that, not an impostor.

    I ****ing hate you Steven Ross for making me type that.

    Yet people who are IN THE GOD DANG INTERVIEWS have come out and said they are confused. What don't you get that the team LIED and made up the "final say" to save some face. Are you this naïve in real life ? If so I have a swamp & bridge to sell you.

    This board is the best comic relief. 'I'm so angry that the guy I said sucks is refusing us". Maybe he reads the board and his feelings got hurt. That should make you feel empowered.

    That's okay brother, I forgive and forget. We are both on the same side and that is we want the Dolphins to win and win a SB. Unfortunately it looks like its going to be a while til that happens :(
