What the ****.

 

lmfao! how can the media go to ****ing work knowing they were reporting 8/mill a year?!?!? this is insane.....lmfao

 

we will only know after the fact

 

these ppl have no shame. im going to be an nfl reporter

 

And water is wet..recall Rooney Rule?

That means they couldn't make Harbaugh an offer.

 

South Florida is getting jerked around by the media!

 

Harbaugh is a SON OF A ***** if this is true.

The only person that gains anything from these false reports is Harbaugh.

If this UNCONFIRMED report is true, I hope Harbaugh chokes on the extra cash he made from this fiasco.

 

I don't think the media guys ever reported anything wrong (with the possible exception of the done deal folks). Here's what I think happened: The Dolphins leaked that they were willing to make Harbaugh the highest paid coach in the business. No other source for that given that they hadn't even been in California yet by the time it broke. Makes sense too: They wanted to feel out Harbaugh, they wanted to make certain that Harbaugh knew what they were offering and they couldn't actually make him an offer due to league rules. So they leaked it. Easiest, cleanest way. And then, apparently, they didn't like the way Harbaugh was responding.

 

Who gives a damn. Stop believing what you read. People do this to themselves.

 

I don't know about that, I mean how many deals are made in sports today with a nod and a wink? Plus I don't see why you can't specifics without formally extending an offer.

 

Who knows what to think anymore??? Reports of what we offered him....of him accepting the parameters of a deal....not being enough money.....rushing to get a "Rooney" interview in.....none of it was true? Was everything just made up and added to like a game of telephone? This one stinks from head to toe...all inclusive stink for all involved

 

Probabally Schefter covering his *** for missing the poo flinging yesterday.

 

Unreal

 

Keep in mind that Harbaugh was very close to a deal with San Fran at that time. You can't call Harbaugh to say, hold the horses, we offer you more (not without San Fran going all tampering charges on you because you clearly broke the Rooney Rule). But what you can do is tell a guy in the media you are willing to outbid San Fran. Easy and clean.

 

I agree Hermano, call me when it/whatever is official.

Media is knee capping each other and we may be trying to save face. Who knows...

 

I think we need Agent Mulder and Scully to dig to the bottom of this

 

I doubt that the Rooney Rule had anything to do with this.

If Ross and Harbaugh had agreed to the priciples, the "Rooney" would have been interviewed and then the Dolphins would have "officially" announced the hiring of Harbaugh.

The Rooney Rule is nothing more than a slap in the face to all minorities and in no way, shape, or form affects the hiring process other than maybe to delay the official announcement.

 

Surely this info comes from the Dolphins in an effort to save face, no? Now that they are going to keep Sparano, it makes sense to paint the last two days as a fact finding mission other than what it really was.

As padre points out, there was probably never an explicit offer worked out due to the Rooney Rule. But the notion that they hadn't gone back and forth on terms and probably come to a dollar amount acceptable to all sides strains credibility far past the breaking point.

 

Whether they offered him a contract or not is really irrelevant. The fact is that the season ticket holders, (I have four season tickets), are not just going to keep paying for tickets to watch this team continue to lose, year after year. By keeping Sparano, Ross has lost a lot of season ticket holders for next season and possibly beyond. I know I have no intention of renewing my season tickets and I have been a season ticket holder for nearly 40 years. Several other season ticket holders I know also are not going to renew their tickets next year either. The one positive for fans who do decide to go to the games next year is that there should be a lot of excellent seats available for purhase. The bad news for all the Dolphin fans who live in South Florida and sit at home and watch the game on TV. I expect that next year the vast majority of the Dolphin home games will be blacked out and if you want to see the Dolphins play. You will either need to purchase a ticket or travel out of the black out zone to see the game. As for me, I plan to spend a lot more time on the golf course during the Dolphin games next season. When Ross shows that he really is serious about bringing a winning football team to Miami. I'll reconsider purchasing season tickets once again.

 

They can hire or make an offer to whomever they wish. If they do not interview a minority candidate they would have to pay a fine, ala Detroit.

 

I think I am going to be an NFL reporter as well. I am just going to make things up from my seat here and then correct things when the truth comes out.

BTW, I want to be the first to report that Ross is offering Don Shula 10 mil per season to come out of retirement. Ireland is going to give Marino a workout to see if he has anything left in the tank BUT Henne has been told that he will remain the starter going into next season. Lastly, Ireland is going to trade our 1st round pick this year for Alex Smith.

 

Yep its called SPIN SPIN SPIN !

 

Oh my you are a really bad man, a very bad disloyal man. 40 years and you are so awful you need to just go away and root for another team you terrible awful horrible fan, you were never a fan in the 1st place.

(sarcasm mode off).....

 

And you enjoy whats been going on ? You enjoy 1 and 9 in the last 10 games ? You want to pay for more of that crap ?

 

Hey no doubt, again if my opinion is wrong whatever, it was just an opinion, but what is the purpose of reaching out to Cowher, Gruden, and flying to see Harbaugh, if you are going to retain Sporano?? to scare him?? why not sit him down you know man to man and say, "TS your on the hot seat, oh and fire all of your coaches and start again with Nolan"

Why would a business savy gentlemen such as Ross, who has been caught in a couple of lies already, keep the same failing business model in the face of what sure is to be loss ticket sales, if things remain status quo? If there is no other better option than what you have, after all other chances to upgrade have been dissolved, would you as a business owner cover your mistakes to save your product??

 

I just doubled my season ticket quantity to 8. I'm going to get as many as possible.

 

Wow. Another ridiculous turn of events.

I think I'm done with this story and this site for a while :lol: Nothing against this site, but it keeps luring me here to keep reading this stuff, therefore its the devil too! :lol:

Going on a business trip next week to Toronto is going to be great for me, I only wish it was this week though so I could have missed out on all this fiasco :lol:

 

What lies has Ross been caught in?

 

I guess its true a lot of straight people are into S & M.......

 

Lets start with "Carl Peterson will not be involved in the Dolphins Organization".

 

how many asses do you have that you need 8 seats? ;)

 

Fin fans >>>>> :faint::hump: <<<<<Media

 

Do you have some link to where he said this? And who told you that Peterson is involved? Was it the same people who told us that Harbaugh would be our next coach?

 

Let the vultures surround the dead carcass that was the Miami front office. They will be picking the bones clean on this situation for a little while, then they can bash all that is Miami Dolphin football, including the fan base.
