the beginning of the cleanse.

 

Also on the teams FB page.

 

Good bye choice number ten million.. The only candidate that didnt reject Ross.

 

He wasn't a great GM, but in hindsight I'm glad that we had two years of Dennis Hickey and not two years of Ray Farmer.

 

We no longer have a Hickey, but we still suck.

This doesn't feel as good as Philbin and the coordinators being fired. Hope it doesn't turn out to be a mistake.

 

Dawn Aponte is next on the firing line.

 

I have gotten to the point that I don't care about the Dolphins much anymore. I stopped even recording the games by November or so. Firing Hickey does nothing to fix this franchise. I think his first draft, without Tannenbaum was pretty decent. The second year with Tannenbaum in charge there were more questionable decisions. I think Hickey is getting a bum deal here. Tannenbaum is already proven to have wrecked one franchise.

Stephen Ross is a brilliant business man by all accounts. He however is not running the Dolphins. And the people he has picked to do the job are terrible and he holds onto them long after their performance should have gotten them fired. Ireland should have went sooner than he did and Philbin with him. Tannenbaum should never have been hired. This team will never improve until we have an owner who can actually run the team or at least be involved and who can have the right people at all levels.

I have been a loyal fan for about 15 years but I don't have the energy anymore. And looking at the way Ross is running this team I don't think it's worth investing my energy and emotions in to the Phins anymore. To all you true Dolphins fans who are still sticking it out I wish you and the team the best of luck.

 

I fully understand this sentiment and I agree about Ross. Hardest thing for me is heading about the infighting on the team and also how Tannehill is taking a pounding on the field. Such a waste of time and talent on this team for the last few years. I genuinely feel for players who have given their all for this team only to be let down, repeatedly, by the owner and leadership of this team.

 

Wishful thinking but she's an ex-jest so unfortunately imo dawn is safe, unless she & Tbaum have bad history together. The cruel reality for us is she goes when ross goes.

 

I remember when some of you were so excited when he was hired and I could never understand that...a failed stint as the GM in Tampa Bay and some of you were over the moon for him.

I saw Greek tragedy right from jump street

 

Why do people hate Aponte?

 

I never liked the hire and he was NEVER the GM in Tampa. He worked for the Bucs for 20 years in their personnel department but they never thought enough of him to actually ever promote him to the GM position.

As bad as I thought the hiring of Hickey was at the time. He actually drafted some fairly decent players in the first two rounds of the past two drafts. Only time will tell how these players develop over the next few years.

I think the hiring of Tannebaum as the head of football operations was a far bigger mistake than hiring Hickey as the GM. It will not surprise me in the least if Tannebaum isn't fire within the next two years.

 

I didn't think he was a GM at TB. I thought he was an assistant GM. I also don't recall anyone being over the moon when he was hired. I remember everyone being meh or angry because they thought we got turned down by numerous candidates.

 

I don't hate her, but I have no idea what your job is now that Tannebaum is head of football operations. He is suppose to be an expert when it comes to the cap space and that is suppose to be her main job with the Dolphins.

Of course since they will probably finish this season 5-11 and they are over the cap going into next season. It makes you wonder if either Tannebaum or Aponte really know what they are doing in regards to the salary structure of this team.

 

Yet the tears flowed when Farmer rejected the Phins.

 

Reports are that Farmer and Pettine are both likely out once this season ends for the Browns.

The Browns job might be the one job that has less interest for heading coaching candidates than the Dolphins job.

They have a great great fanbase in Cleveland, but their owner seems to be as clueless as Ross at this time. The only difference is that Ross had been clueless far longer as an NFL owner than Haslam has been in Cleveland.

It will be interesting to see who gets a clue first.

 

Not to mention the soap opera that is Johnny Manzel. I'd avoid that team like the plague!

 

Lake Dawson, who also turned down the GM job, was fired by the Titans last year.

 

Odd that Hickey is gone now with one game left, it seems to me that Hickey wanted out now, I think he feels slighted because he wasn't able to do the job he was hired for, Tannenbaum was the GM of this team, him and Ross are the main orchestrators of the squad we saw this year imo.

 

She works for the Dolphins, duh.

 

We have one of the worst books in the NFL, thats why people hate Aponte.

 

Just hope the effort is there today

It's patently obvious you've no idea how this works if you think that's somehow her fault.

 

And the smarmiest poster of 2015 award goes to...

 

The Niners are also a raging dumpster fire, Irsay in Indy is an idiot - people often act like we are the worst of the worst but there are many teams with issues. It could be worse, Ross at least is willing to spend money. Just need a hire to click for once in terms of coaching.

 

What I said wasn't wrong. She is hamstrung by who the FO wants. Players get the money they get give or take. It's not her fault Tannehill and Suh cost what they cost.

I guess you don't understand the process either.

 

For all of the higher priced free agents that Miami have signed, their books are pretty good.

Miami can cut over $40 million in cap space without too many penalties.

She doesn't choose who to sign.

 

Honestly if Aponte wasn't a woman, the majority of us wouldnt care and/or have no idea who ran our books. She does a good job, neither spectacular or poor. Basically on the same level as most of the NFL, better than some, worse than others.
