The Dolphins’ list of general manager candidates is down one name.
When Vikings assistant G.M. George Paton’s name first landed on the Dolphins’ radar screen, it was believed he would speak to Miami about the position but things haven’t worked out that way. A league source tells PFT that Paton has declined an opportunity to interview for the job.

As long as we hire the right one, and at the moment that would appear to be Xanders, then I'm not too bothered about who declines to interview. He may even have declined to interview because he believes he won't get the gig and someone else is the favourite, but who knows...?

They have a ton of young talent. They need a QB.

Thank god.

Most of the guys we've interviewed are clowns.

I like a lot of the candidates we've interviewed. Some have either chosed to stay put and some have gone elsewhere. There's still a nice pool of availible names to choose from. I don't see why some are you are so pessimistic at this point. We have the main cause of our mediocrity, Ireland, no longer the GM. We have an inept offensive coordinator(game has passed him by) no longer employed by the team. We don't know the true extent of the Philbin/Aponte dynamic and what, if any, negative affect that may have on us pursuing a GM, despite what some have reported. Not all teams are structured alike. There's no certainty that this setup will fail or not. And we're still interviewing candidates that look impressive, at least on paper. We're bound to hire one of them, and we're not even the only team with a vacancy at the GM position. Let's just see how all this plays out before we jump ship.

have these guys declined to interview for other teams as well? Yes? but no, we suck right? unreal.Fin D, Rocky Raccoon, 77FinFan and 1 other person like this.

Boy, I'm glad you aren't doing the hiring around here. Maybe do some actual research on some of the guys we've hired. Xanders for instance... jeez...

In the words of Davone Bess, PRAISE JAH!

Omar Kahn is not a personnel guy, Brian Gaine has been a chief member of a mediocre and dysfunctional front office, Lake Dawson comes from an equally mediocre franchise. Ray Farmer and Brian Xanders come with major questions.

Clowns was a bad term, questionable at best is what most of these guys are.
-
no it's not
-
Yes it is.
-
Some people aren't happy unless they can be negative. I feel sorry for them.

By the Senior Bowl we have a new GM. Watch it happen.

He should really work on his self esteem if that's the case.

For one his strategies may be a little dated.
