Gase fired!

Glad this excuse making machine is gone. And of course the players felt aliented, he threw our backups under the bus in the post game conference all the time. He isnt a leader.

Players did not endorse Gase yesterday when many of them had the chance to.

I had also mentioned a few weeks ago that Drake wanted out of Miami at the trade deadline because of Gase. Kouffman confirms below that Drake wasn't a fan of Gase. https://t.co/ZReRPIQGL4

I have to agree here. I think we are going to get some bombshell leaks, and the dislike for Gase may rival Nick Saban. https://t.co/1ywVRQ8kew

Wow. That's some crazy shit right there. Explains A LOT about the team though.

I am really surprised it was that bad. Of course, it explains a lot. What I find interesting is the lack of player support for Tannehill. I complained the other day when Tannehill was sacked that no one from the OL helped him up. I didn't like it, and don't like it, but I guess they were taking things out on Gase's boy. It went totally over my head. Gase doesn't like to be 2nd guessed. We all don't. However, when your veterans like Wake and Stills are coming to you to make suggestions and stuff, it sure doesn't hurt to take them seriously.

Not convinced by this. Aside from the fact that this is Omar, who are we talking about here? The OL haven't exactly distinguished themselves this year. The WR's who are left did alright, but there were plenty of missed catches. Whatever issues there are with Tannehill, this is a bad attitude for the players to have. No one should be blaming anyone. Looks like a bad culture here.

Well when you've watched this guy be the QB for what, 7 years now, and our offense has never really been the strong suit of the team, it's pretty obvious to players that he's holding you back. We've heard it from many former players, and even one players (crazy) wife.

If the QB is struggling, and the coach is always got his back, but on yours for something... there's a problem, and eventually it's going to blow up like it has.

Fuck yeah. Good riddance, fraudulent shitbag.

i said this 2 years ago, this relationship was like this, and literally got blasted over and over on here. It was so apparent people are just blinded by their thoughts and not by action or truths. speaking of the crazy wife that's funny oh Mrs grimes (carl from caddy shack voice) how right she was and everyone just said she was nuts.

Well, she is nuts. :lol:

There is a God!

Fuck that guy. Seriously. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that guy. Smug bastard. What a phony.

And CLEARLY the roster was his call - as some of us have been saying. This job was too much for that guy. 1st timers should never have that kind of control.

Adam Gase is held in high regards by some people across the league. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get HC interviews and even a job this offseason. I believe he could be a good HC eventually, but it wasn't going to work in Miami.

There are at least two ways to read this - Gase is a problem, or Ross and Tannenbaum are etc.
Quite honestly, with Miami's track record, I suspect it may be more of the latter - although Gase had his issues.

I instantly thought that as well- from all the quotes, it almost sounded like Gase wanted to leave.

If we're reading between the lines, Ross tried to talk to him last week, Gase said, "Nope, I'm busy", then Ross said this week that Gase needs to give up control of the roster to keep his job (AKA, they were firing Tannehill). Again, Gase said nope and forced Ross's hand.

Honestly, that's pretty gangster and it makes me like Gase a heck of a lot more. At least he stuck to his beliefs. I have a feeling that looking back, all the bitching and complaining the past 6 weeks about RT having no help, no protection was taking stabs at the front office for not bringing in better/younger linemen.

Well, This had to happen given how badly the end of the last two seasons have gone. You couldn't have a worse last few games in consecutive years plus the regression of Tannehill and all the blowouts. It is shocking to me this many players felt separated from Gase but at the same time it isn't given how he stays away from people on the sidelines during game day. With this news coming out it looks like Gase may have been doing this on purpose because the whole situation in Miami wasn't good. If he was still feuding over having Tannenbaum as his GM and not retaining the players he wanted can you blame the guy? I find it highly unlikely that we have just gotten "unlucky" with coaches this many years in a row. Stephen Ross might be the ultimate issue at the top. I think this last regime will decide a lot if Ross decides to sell as well. Ross wants to win and his is old, clock is ticking for that guy and he just might want to sell it all off if another regime fails.

Looks Like Grier will oversee football operatoins and Tannenbaum will be reassigned...I wish that Tbaum would have been thrown out the door instead...hopefully he is overseeing the cafeteria now.

Exactly. He was despicable man. I dunno how anyone can defend him and his total lack of optics.

I can’t inagine many player liked him. It seems at every turn he was tossing players under the bus for losses! I don’t recall him saying thisbines on me I made bad decisions. Instead he said these guys didn’t execute etc.

I lost a lot of respect for him 2 years in with his antics.

Ross still doesn’t get it. He’s to loyal for our good. He’s going to force a new coach to work with his guys and not give them what they need to succeed.

I don’t know how I feel about this. I’m not sure any coach with Tannehill, a rag tag offensive line and a non-existent DL would have been successful. You could say that Gase should have got more out of the DL.

Clearly the DC needed to be let go. And you could say Gase made his bed by supporting RTH. To me this reeks more of bad personnel decisions and not having a good enough supporting cast to overcome a middle tier QB.

Lastly, I’m not sure I trust Ross or anyone in our organization to make a good decision that will get this franchise back to its winning ways.

Would you really rather Ross going about this by himself? Really? Who is supposed to do the hiring then? Someone had to stay that knows something about football to do the hiring and that surely is NOT Ross. Grier is the only one of the 3 that was worth keeping. I'm glad he is going to do the hiring.

It seemed that Ross asked Gase to give up control, Gase refused, and that was kind of the end of their relationship.

I am just glad TBum won't be handing out huge contracts to replacement level players anymore.

Let's give Ross some credit here though. It wasn't obvious he would fire Gase. It wasn't obvious he'd see that Grier was the least of the FO's problems. It wasn't obvious Tannenbaum would lose power even if I agree it would have been better had he also been fired. And Tannehill no longer has the backing of higher up's so he'll be gone too. No matter how you look at it this is a BIG positive for us.

Of course the most important step comes next: who is the next HC. Get that wrong and it's another 3-4 years of misery lol.

Honestly, not a single name available excites me in the least.

Maybe Marvin Lewis? That's about it. So I'll just hope for the best.
