Wtf...Ireland was given 1 year extension in the offseason

RT @AdamHBeasley: Miami Herald exclusive: Dolphins quietly extend Jeff Ireland's contract in the offseason http://t.co/sLZTP9JZZ0

we actually extended his contract before the season?!

 

Happened in the offseason

 

Jeff Ireland Extended

As usual the media had a misleading (or at least poorly worded).

Undefeated is a present condition. Pair that with "extend" in present tense and it leads readers to believe this is happening right now.

It should say "extended" in the offseason.

 

oh my...get your popcorn ready.....

 

Wtf...Ireland was given 1 year extension in the offseason

You must be thrilled.

 

Re: Jeff Ireland Extended

From the article:

Doesn't sound like they have much information. Does that mean his new contact runs to the end of the 2014 season? Or does it go beyond that?

come on jeff...get josh gordon over here....5 WR set...da ****

 

hahahahahaha...and you are late too....merge

 

Would seem to reiterate that Ross considers the past problems to have been coaching... especially when you look around the league at guys who Sparano jettisoned for one reason or another, but who are playing well for their new teams.

 

Re: Jeff Ireland Extended

Good thing the news wasn't released in the offseason. All hell would have broken loose.

 

Dude, do you ever give up? Your hatred of Ireland is completely unreasonable given where this team currently sits.
or maybe (likely) you're clueless on how business actually works. They had faith in him to give him an extension because they are a lot smarter than you and can actually see what Ireland has been building the last couple of years.
I was wondering who the first guy would be to bash Ireland after we started 3-0.

 

And I thought overpaying Misi was the worst extension we'd give out this year smh....who's next, Daniel Thomas?

 

I was somewhat baffled that Ireland had not been extended already. Good to know it was just a matter of the information not being released.

 

I'm fine with a one-year extension, I expect a four year deal is in the pipeline if we keep winning and make the playoffs.

 

you mean our backup RB in a pass-oriented offense, who's getting paid a small salary, but still made a key play yesterday? As long as they extend him and don't pay much for him, I'm okay with that.
Would I like to upgrade over D Thomas? yes, but only with a draft pick. backup RB isn't worth overpaying for a FA, not in this offense anyway.

 

Well of course we did... That way now his contract and Philbins line up, right? Wasnt it 3 years for Joe? Now 3 for Jeff with Joe. It just makes sense. That way if we have to make a change, It's a clean sweep again.

 

Tampa Bay's GM Mark Dominik must be thrilled...this is looking like it will be his 4th losing season in 5 years, maybe he'll see an extension shortly

 

I'm not going to list them, but there are several posters on this board that would prefer that Miami suck and lose games, than have Ireland get credit for doing well. They are so vested in Ireland hatred that it interferes with their ability to root for the team. In fact, I think some would be upset if we made a deep playoff run and would find excuses to blame Ireland.

 

Cool story bro. I'll be extending my mouse over the ignore button.

 

Good grief, there is no reason to connect Philbin to Ireland in that way.

Philbin is in no way responsible for Jeff's previous blunders,mistakes, and catastrophes.

Philbin is the reason for this year's success so far. Ireland is the reason our victories haven't been more decisive.

Ireland's ineptitude and that of his entire scouting staff is obvious.

Philbin is a GREAT! coach.

Ireland is a BAD general manager.

Ross is an OK owner. He appears to care about winning anyway, even if he keeps Ireland and did some other questionable things as well.

 

Ireland is a good GM and should have been extended.

 

hubris!

 

When has a GM or head coach for that matter ever been extended after consecutive losing seasons? Wins and losses dictate job security, or at least it usually does.

 

I didn't know Philbin drafted Tannehill and the D. Thanks for clarifying. I'm also glad Philbin signed Grimes, probably the best FA signing this year.

 

It's a typical 'lame' duck avoiding contract. It's not a 3-5 year deal. So his status is still up after this year, but I assume if the team gets into the playoffs and gets at least a win there...he'll get his longer contract.

And there will be much weeping from a far off segment.

 

It's just an anti-lame duck contract and nothing more.

 

I have mixed feelings about this. I'm not shocked by it, because I expected this to happen (although not during the off-season, in secret). I still don't think the last two drafts (the definitive Ireland draft's) Miami had were all that good.

 

Geez, someone who is a worse hater than LB?? Unbelievable...
