I just hope is is a guy who "knows what he doesnt know" and doesnt try and get Personnel power.

 

History shows that innovators have been frowned upon, shunned, outcasted or even deemed crazy. Lets hope history repeats itself :)

 

Just like I've been trying to tell some people. THIS is how business is done and the NFL is a business.

I would much rather have an owner who is willing to get what he wants than one who is a tight wad.

 

Except for the fact that because he didn't fire sparano or comply with the rooney rule that he might be losing Harbaugh now because he can't offer him anything.

 

dude money is money whether its on paper or a handshake. If Ross says dude with me you got 8 mill a year coming to you it is what it is. We'll interview some bum and then hire the dude.

 

Awesome. Sounds like the opposite of the guy who goes for par. I know some disagree with the way this has been handled, but for me, I now stand behind our owner 100%.

 

For a guy who claimed he doesn't know football much when he bought the fins, this guy sure knows what a good football coach is.

 

LMAO @ this post!

 

OR (and I hope this is true) he has surrounded himself with good football people who will lead him in the right direction!

 

OR just like anyone who pays attention to football, he knows that Jim Harbaugh is the hot coach of the moment.

 

Why not try something new? All the other ways didn't work. Good for Ross for doing it his way. Hopefully Ireland makes good "Business Decisions" and trades some of our players who don't fit for some draft picks. I would love to have about 10 picks per year like the Patsies always seem to have.

 

He is not trying tomsething new, he is trying something old

 

Has anything anyone else has done worked. Make no mistake about it this is how real business is done and the Dolphins really needed to make significant changes.
I love it!!!

 

Is Omar reading our boards again? Someone here used this very analogy last night or this morning.

 

Yesterday up in Club in the "this is ross putting his mark on the franchise" thread.

 

I'm interested to hear what is so funny. Ross has clearly put himself in a situation that could make him lose out on Harbaugh. I'm not saying he will but by not firing Sparano before talking to Harbaugh he has put himself in a difficult spot.

 

Anyone else feel like the first week of post-season has been more exciting than the regular season?

Why do I get the sense the next headline I read will be "Harbaugh to Miami as HC Done Deal! Until Ireland asked Harbaugh if his mother was a hooker."

 

The only remote possible way not firing Sparano or Ronney Rule following can hurt the chances is if Harbaugh sleeps on the offer and changes his mind. That's it. No other way. The league won't stop it. You're tilting at windmills.

 

Nothing a $500,000 fine won't take care of.

 

I understand that. I still cant find the humor in my first post though. I'm basically saying that Ross put himself in a bad spot and didn't go about getting Harbaugh in the best way because he risked losing him.

 

They found a new acorn!!

 

Ross has owned the team these past two seasons and did nothing, letting Parcells and co. do everything with the on-field product, all he did was open the wallet. Well now Parcells bailed so I don't mind him doing something if we do get Harbaugh. This would be his first move pertaining to the team. If I spent a billion dollars on an NFL team and had to sit in Sun Life Stadium and watch them win only 1 game in their past 10 then I'd want to do something to shake things up also.

 

Wow, go figure, Denver wants in now.

 

Still funny?
