Winning this Texans game was the only shot of getting the fans back into the seats. Now Ross will be looking at an empty stadium and huge apathy until he makes drastic changes.

 

don't worry, it's not a question of if but when and at this rate coach fist pump will lose the locker room well before mid-season.

 

I'm sick of people blaming Ross? It's not like he is inept, he stepped in to a big steaming pile of dogcrap... Oh Parcells and Wayne laughed ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.. 15 years of medicority.. Bring in Pennington and Parcells to provide a nice, short term fix.. Sell high.. Now Ross is to blame? He is SCREWED. This franchise is screwed. And it started WAY before Ross. Greatest QB of ALLL TIME and we went to one Super Bowl with him.. We are cursed my friends

 

It's working to plan. Here's the ball the NEW MIAMI DOLPHINS will be using.
​

​

 

What sends me into a red rage is that my Jet fan friends are commiserating with me and giving me sympathy, understanding and even PITY. This makes me want to end it all. I cannot live with that.

 

He has one shot to get fans in the seats after this road trip. We have to win a lot, and come back with a new head coach.

 

There are a lot of things that need to be changed, but I hope Ross doesn't make the mistake of believing one person is going to fix all of those.

 

Dolphins fans need a lesson from seahawks fans

 

Only way is if the Phins win all THREE of their next games...which includes the Chargers and Jets. It would be a borderline Miracle to be 3-2 for the Denver game.

This team offers no hope though. Same old, same old.

 

That is why Ross SHOULD have cleaned house after last season. He didn't hire Ireland & Sparano. He has no absolute loyalty to them. Now its another wasted year so a new regime will not be brought in til 2012. Ross will be lucky to have 35,000 season tickets for next season.

 

Couldn't believe how empty the seats looked in this game. I'm sure the bean counters told Ross this would happen when he retained a head coach with a 1-7 home record. Sparano better get a win quickly or he'll be in danger of losing his job during the bye week.

 

Actually a great time to buy tickets because they are so cheap.

 

Trust me, Sparano is a dead man walking already

 

Its a mess. I think we have to get a good GM; allow him to bring a good coach, and go from there. Very much like the Bucs did when they brought in Rich McKay and he hired Tony Dungy.

Then you just have to suck it up for the next five years and hope for the best. Right now its just putrid. Its a joke.

 

Ross takes the blame because he failed to make a change at head coach after last season. He also seems to support Ireland as the GM, when it becomes clearer every game that Ireland just hasn't done a very good job of selecting quality talent to fill the Dolphins roster. Wayne hired Parcells, Sparano, and Ireland, and since Ross purchased the team from Wayne, he has done nothing to improve upon the below average staff he inherited from Wayne. He will continue to take the blame until he decides that enough is enough and he goes out and hires a GM and head coach who can turn the Dolphins into a winning organization again.

 

Sooooo, you would pay someone to kick you in the nuts 8 times? And the tix may be cheap but it'll still cost you. Stress.

 

Too early to judge Ireland.. Thomas looked great out there and Pouncy has been solid... This could wind up being a great draft, especially if Clyde Gates turns in to a homerun threat

 

Ireland's bad decisions have just been extra costly.

 

Yeah dont go, maybe in a couple years there will be a Los Angeles Dolphins.

 

death, taxes & Miami Dolphins in SoFLa.

 

How many of you still get upset after a loss? Im pretty numb, and quite frankly stopped caring when Sparano was retained. Lets be honest. Until Brady retires, this team is going nowhere inside the division, and then you still have a young Jets nucleus to deal with. I guess on a positive not Thomas had a good game? I didn re-order Ticket this year so didnt see the game.

 

I agree that Thomas looked good today, except for the fumble. The jury is still out on Pouncey as far as I am concerned. I haven't been a fan of Ireland since day one and while I will admit that he has hit on some of the players he has drafted and signed in free agency. The fact that the Dolphins were 7-9 the last two seasons and are now 0-2 this season, tells me a lot more about the overall talent Ireland has provided this team with. Base on their record over the last two plus years. The best that can be said about the talent Ireland has provided the Dolphins with, is that the overall talent is mediocre at best.

I just don't see a top quality coach wanting to come to Miami if that means having to coach the talent he is provided by Ireland. Ross needs to clean house as far as the Head Coach and GM are concerned and bring in a new GM and head coach and let them decide on the talent needed to upgrade the Dolphins and once again lead this team to the playoffs.

 

The Dolphins aren't going anywhere. Perhaps you don't realize it ,but Ross not only owns the Dolphins but he also owns the stadium. So unless he can figure some way to move the stadium along with the rest of the organization, the Dolphins will be in Miami long after I am dead and buried.

Many Dolphin fans, including me, have no other way to show Ross how upset with are with the head coach and GM, except by not attending games. Once Ross does the right thing and he makes the changes he should have made after last season. Dolphin fans, including me, will be happy to return to the stadium for Dolphin games.

 

he obviously tried to make a coaching change. perhaps no one really wanted the job. for the love of god just give me a regime that will draft an aaron hernandez dallas clark type.

 

Aaron Hernandez and Dallas Clark are good players, but they produce the way they do because of the QBs throwing them the ball. If Tom Brady or Peyton Manning was our QB, Fasano is a top 5 tight end.

 

So you say flying out to California to talk to Harbaugh was his attempt at making a coaching change. I give him credit for the attempt, but are you also telling me that there were no other options except for Harbaugh.
I have no doubt that if Ross is really serious about making a coaching change. He will have plenty of coaches interested in being hired for the job. I don't think it was that no one wanted the job. I think the problem was that Ross really wanted to keep Ireland as the GM and the more high profile coaches had no interest in working under Ireland. That is why I feel both Ireland and Sparano need to go.

 

Fasano had a good game against the Patriots on Monday night. The question is, where was he today? That has been the problem with Fasano since he came to the Dolphins. He plays good in one game and disappears completely for the next few weeks. He may play better with a Brady or a Manning, but the fact is that he is really nothing but an average TE in the NFL.

 

I think Ross is fighting a losing battle no matter what with South Florida fans. This is almost certainly the worst major sports market, and probably the worst NFL fan base. There are other, less populated teams, and teams that have lesser sell percentages(But they're much worse teams like the Raiders). Just listen to sports radio, or the fans at the stadium who without fail are the loudest when the Dolphins have the ball.

He's not going to have a consistently full stadium unless the Dolphins go on a Heat-like run, and even then it's not going to last.

 

Have you ever considered the possibility that Fasano is blocking ALOT and he's the reason why Williams didn't blow up Colombo even more so?

 

Why all the pressure on Sparano? Our QB is 2nd tier at best. Probably 3rd tier.

If you can't score points, you don't win.

 

Dolphin fans are feeling a lot of frustration right now with not a lot of hope. Coming off a 7-9 season and with two straight losses at home this year doesn't give you much cause for excitement. Years of pain and heartache just kind of well up inside.

 

I have actually heard that too. Of course right now its just idle talk. But all things like that start out as idle chatter.

Its crazy, but its conceivable.

 

I wouldn't be against it...

 

yep..enough with this.

I won;t go to this crap the rest of this year.
