I just want to take this opportunity to say I really hope we can let some of the strained relationships on this board that have resulted from Ireland's continued employment begin to heal. We're all die hard Miami fans and we all cheer for the same team on Sundays. We are always going to disagree about players, coaches, FO, etc. But Ireland was different. Because he was a largely ineffectual GM for this team for 6 years, an eternity in professional sports, these disagreements led to festering anger, resentment and caused some real beefs here. People putting people on ignore lists because they either liked Ireland or didn't like him, name calling and finger pointing on both sides of the debate, with pretty much everyone being guilty of petty behavior at some point. Intrawebs friendships on this board were strained because of views on Ireland. And for my part I take at least a 50% share of the blame for that. But Ireland is gone. Whether you liked him, loved him, hated him or were indifferent, how about we let the healing begin and let's all have a virtual beer tonight. I got all the immature japes I had in me out of my system in the Irish Out thread, and I'm going to make a very concerted effort from here on out to not let my thoughts on Ireland cause anymore beefs with anyone on this board.
So let me officially extend the

If Philbin can have as good a 3rd year as Rivera, I'll have a sh**-eating grin for months.

Yeah I'm a supporter of Philbin, because I believe he can improve and should get another year to prove himself. But whatever the new GM wants is fine with me.

What will be revealed going forward, is that those with the greatest loathing of Ireland will continue their malcontent ways when the new hire is not who they want it to be.

Wow look at us all! You would have no idea that we just lost out on the playoffs by losing to the JEST and Buffalo based on the atmosphere here! That's the spirit!

I still worry anyone who is being brought in to run a football team being told, "This is your coach, deal with it." But I agree with your line of thinking. You make a great point about Tannehill. Where Sparano failed in every way imaginable in developing Chad Henne, we saw great improvement in Tannehill from year 1 to year 2.
In short, yeah I'm fine with Philbin getting another year. I just hope the next GM is too. Or that it doesn't cause the best GM applicant to not want the gig.MikeHoncho likes this. -

I've been saying for a while that our problem never was coaching this season. It was our talent level.MonstBlitz likes this. -
I'm glad Ross isn't giving up on him yet. He has flaws that he needs to work on, and he knows it too, but there are things he brings that are positive. He is incredibly smart. We have been one the most disciplined teams in the league the last 2 years (this year, only Indianapolis was better) and the players genuinely like him.
He may end up not being the guy, but I'm glad he's getting a 3rd year to prove himself. -
