Oh lord, please no! No more "next season" and "projects." I hope they fire Gaine too while they are at it to spare us the agony.

 

4. Hope we turn into the 2014 version of the 2013 Chiefs.

There's at least some talent on the team that makes them mediocre...they need better coaches and front office to get the other pieces in line (o-line, run game, various parts of the defense) and bring it all together to make a cohesive, UNIFIED unit that doesn't have locker room drama. OR a "leader" who holds positional meetings in a strip club and gets away with it. That garbage has got to go.

 

There is no N+2. There is only now. Every year is a year for itself, every year is an opportunity to win it all. Every offseason any team in the league has a chance to become great with the right moves, or destroy everything with bad ones. There is only this year.

 

How can you possibly know what you need to draft two seasons from now? Especially since those needs can change drastically every year. And what if your players that you draft to replace older, expendable players don't develop? Couple that with your immediate glaring needs, now you even more holes than you started out with. Stupid.

 

I think those guys are on a 7 game audition.

Not impressed with Turner, think Sherman is very removable, not sure about Coyle

I think Rizzi's star is dimming.

 

As for Kevin Coyle, the defense has allowed 20 or more points in 8 CONSECUTIVE games. That alone should be enough to merit being fired.

 

So you are okay with promoting someone already in the organization to the GM spot, who appears to be, "somewhat qualified"? I in no way see the hiring of Gaine as an appeasement for Dolphin fans. I see it as being nothing but a slap in the face to Dolphin fans. Gaine is already a part of the problem and he needs to go along with all the other individuals now working in the personnel department of the Dolphins.

There is no one in the organization who has earned a promotion from this mess and certainly not Gaine.

It is time Ross clears out the dead heads running this football team and actually hires a top tier GM. No one on this team and certainly none of the coaches, including Philbin, should feel their positions are secure. It's time to finally blow this team up and hire someone who actually knows how to build a winning football team. No one presently with the Dolphins in the front office, or on the coaching staff have shown that they are capable of doing what is necessary to turn this team around.

 

Perhaps you are right, but this year sure seems a lot like the past four years with the Dolphins.

 

Keeping Philbin is a terrible idea. Coaching is the outstanding problem of this team, and it falls in his lap. 2014 would be a disaster, I think.

 

Steven Ross needs to watch Breaking Bad and learn why half measures are always doomed to failure.

Full measures, Mr. Ross, even if you like Philbin.

And quite frankly, the league may end up making these decisions for him. If the investigation finds that Jim Turner or other offensive coaches ordered a "code red" on Martin, then Philbin will be held ultimately responsible even if he had no direct knowledge.

Look at Bountygate. There was no evidence that Payton knew about the bounty system or approved it, yet Goodell suspended him a year anyway. If there was coaching staff culpability, Philbin will be suspended for some length of time. At that point you have a great case to fire him for cause and not pay him.

 

I wonder if Rizzi has been given to much extra stuff to handle. He did fine when all he had was ST.

Starting completely over SOUNDS nice, but ...............remember Parcells???? That's what we did then.

 

It seems with parity that any team can win in any given year but somehow the past 12 years have produced primarily the same organizations coming home with Lombardi trophy. Steelers 2 - Patriots -3 Ravens -2 Giants -2 the rest split between Buccaneers, Saints, Colts and Packers. The saints Colts and packers had guys named Manning, Rodgers and Brees at the helm and Tampa Bay seemed to be the only "Who the Fuh jus won the Superbowl?" anomaly. Though I do think we are at the beginning of the ultimate age of parity where there will literally be 2 New Superbowl Teams and a different winner EVERY Year for the next 10 years, starting this year with a Seahawks win over the Chiefs.

 

they must clean house entirely.
None of this halfassed crap.

 

Everyone working for Ireland needs to go when he does. Total clean house in the personell department.

 

I think it shows a lack of confidence in the coaches when you don't use your rookies talents...like their afraid of what mistake the rookie will make so instead bring in the vet that knows his assignment..

 

That's about the worst plan I've read yet.

 

maybe one day you can join the NFL and start a miraculous trend of rookies reliably producing from day 1, but until then you should probably keep quiet and spare yourself the embarassment.

 

:smackhead: WHAT.THE.HECK does your little speech have to do with the fact the overwhelming majority of college players take time to develop into reliable NFL contributors?! Free agency is for the now, genius. Just stop talking. Rookies = future; free agency = now. Got it? get it? good.

 

I know this much as long as I have been a dolphin fan I have never been humiliated as I was Monday night . No not even the Jacksonville 61 to 7 loss angered me like this last loss . Ross didn't make billions of dollars by making dumb decisions. sure He makes bad decisions but so does every owner . what is needed for him to see things clearly is we need to go 5-11 or 6-10 then Ross will see what has to be done.
