Separate names with a comma.
Let's wait and see if he really does. Because I'd bet money on the fact that he doesn't.
He already said what exactly?
It was an attractive job. If, however, it's true that Philbin is given control over the final roster and/or that everyone answers to Aponte, then...
I genuinely fail to see his qualification for the job. Does he come from a winning organization with a proven track record in talent evaluation?...
Fret not! It won't take but 24 hours before someone will make a very compelling (as in: totally out of touch with reality) argument as to why...
Certainly not. We wanted Dennis Hickey all along. We were simply doing our due diligence with all them more qualified candidates who said "no,...
So we conduct a nationwide GM search, embarrass ourselves in the process, and end up with Dennis Hickey. Words can't even begin to describe the...
Stop using them. A wet climate (think jungle, baby) will only sustain the irritation. Keep your arse religiously dry from anything that's not...
Really? I was under the impression that the initial report (on a Broncos message board if I recall correctly) turned out to be a hoax. There's...
Don't get your hopes up. If we hire Eric Mangini, I will personally create a Fireric thread every 12 hours. And I'll have good reason, too.
Mutual agreement. Very shrewd move allowing everyone to save face. I wonder how much Ireland's mutual agreement cost Stephen Ross. Of course...
I'm not sure about the Rooney Rule, but I have it on good authority that it makes Mike Lombardi positively tingly.
It being Cleveland, it's probably their idea of the Rooney Rule: "Hold on, Mr. Goodell, you can't seriously expect us to interview a black guy,...
Probably not. Then again, sticking up for your best friend publicly a day before you wind up canning him speaks volumes about your character, too....
Well, if you don't want to be accused of favoritism, don't hire your best friend and his family :shifty:
And the preseason projection? Either my parents dropped me on the head a lot of times (entirely possible) or I'm beginning to un-get it.
Take a close look at his nickname. Hint: He isn't into pro wrestling. :shifty:
I'm beginning to get it. What do you base the projection on?
Hold on. You're feeding it data from the current season to project the eventual win totals in the very same season? So a team that's 4-3, in all...
Might I inquire as to the purpose of this study? It sounds like you're using a very elaborate formula to tell you something you already know, so...
Quite the contary: I think Tannehill is right where one should have reasonably expected him to be, especially considering the horrendous OL and...
I've always liked Gruden, but I would be very hesitant to grant him final say. He was never one to develop players, and that, to me, betrays a...
I'm not sure that's necessarily the right thing, though. If Gus Malzahn, for instance, was available, I'd be perfectly happy to hire him right...
I'm not sure his team has any offensive issues if you give Rex a decent quarterback. He's the epitome of a great coach who can't win because he's...
I think you nailed Ross' dilemma there. He would really like to retain Philbin, and he would probably like to retain Ireland, too, but unless he...
Oh, I don't intend to downplay Rex Ryan's coaching skills. He did an outstanding job this season. I'm merely wondering if the small house...
I wouldn't exactly call 8-8 "successful", however.
There's probably quite a lot of teams who lost a coordinator to an HC opening, but I was wondering if there were any teams who fired a significant...
Do you have any rational basis for this perception? Because it seems just a tad bit unfair to crucify the staff for units that didn't improve...
And Stephen Ross should follow their speedy example exactly why? No one will conduct an interview today. The Dolphins lose precisely nothing by...
All in the span of 22 hours. Quite a day.
I'm curious: Does anyone know of a team that became successful after ditching a significant part of its staff while retaining the HC? Maybe there...
I think his mind was made up just fine. Everyone stays. Then we managed to pull the kind of choke job that usually ends up getting people fired....
While I agree on Turner (though the failure of the OL is actually more damning for Joe Philbin; if he's got one expertise, it's as an OL coach for...
As of 22 hours ago, we were in the playoffs. Even successful people might need a little more time than that (and maybe a little sleep, too) to...
@AdamHBeasley When I told Philbin today that there is an anti-Sherman sentiment in the locker room (based on my and Ian's reporting), he blanched.
That's kinda funny because there's also little indication that "they" (the locker room) want Sherman gone. We have one report about Tannehill, and...
Probably. And I'm saying, they're likely to want Philbin gone, too, as he's the guy who's ultimately responsible for Sherman's performance and did...
I agree that Sherman needs to go. All I'm saying is that Philbin absolutely needs to go with him.
If Philbin throws Sherman under the bus, it's going to cost him the locker room. After all, he's the guy who let Sherman work his magic. Players...
Here's a prediction: Philbin will can Sherman, Ross will can Ireland, and then, instead of throwing money at the best available GM, he will hire...
What's the alternative? That he thought Sherman should call differently but didn't tell him to? In fact, that's even worse. I've never really...
I think many people ignore the simple fact that Ross didn't buy the Dolphins to become rich; or even richer. He's a fan, and he wants to have fun...
I've been wondering this since the day we hired him. I didn't see any sensible reason back then, and I don't see one now. We hired a glorified OL...
I have a very hard time buying that when you've just been manhandled by two teams with nothing to play for and your playoff shot on the line....
I'm just about as pissed as you are. I take no pride in being right tonight. None.
It's been for quite a while.
I really don't see how you can possibly retain Philbin after two gutwrenching losses against inferior competition with a playoff spot on the line....
