The Stephen Ross Clown Shoes Coach Search Extravaganza: SEASON TWO

----
Carl Peterson, longtime associate of Dolphins owner Steve Ross and former president of the Kansas City Chiefs, has long been rumored to take that same position in Miami and help restructure the organization.
And, according to sources, that still could be the case, assuming Peterson can land the coach he wants.
Peterson is spearheading the effort to court Jeff Fisher, who interviewed Tuesday in Miami, though numerous general managers and people involved in coaching searches believe the former Tennessee Titans boss will join the St. Louis Rams. If Peterson can't grab Fisher, then the likelihood of him formally joining the Dolphins is minimal, the sources said.
Peterson was with Fisher in Miami, shown on television in Ross' helicopter. However, according to numerous sources with knowledge of the Dolphins' hiring process, Peterson has no role whatsoever in the interviewing process of other candidates.
Current general manager Jeff Ireland has compiled a list of less-experienced and less-powerful candidates whom he's interviewing with Ross. For example, interim coach Todd Bowles interviewed for the full-time job Monday, and Chicago Bears special teams coach Dave Toub met with Ireland and Ross on Tuesday.
Ross and Ireland also met with Fisher while he was in Miami.
So, in essence, the Dolphins are leading two different but parallel searches. If one of Ireland's candidates is hired, then several sources said there's little chance Peterson has a role with the team otherwise. If Peterson were to grab Fisher (and sources mentioned Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett as another candidate Peterson supports), then not only could Peterson take a team president position, but Ireland's status might end up in doubt, with Peterson considering bringing several of his former personnel people from Kansas City to Miami with him.
Should the Dolphins not land Fisher, the team will try to keep Bowles on its defensive staff, sources said, but other teams are eyeing him for head-coaching and coordinator openings.
This marks the second consecutive offseason the Dolphins have conducted an unusual coaching search. Last January, Ross and team officials traveled across the country in an attempt to land Jim Harbaugh -- then at Stanford -- all while Tony Sparano still was under contract as the Dolphins' coach.
This Franchise needed a consistent message, purpose and DIRECTION during this offseason, perhaps more than any other point in its history... and this is the **** they are giving us.

You have to be an idiot on par with Ross himself to try defend this sh*t.
We are the new laughing stock of the NFL.:pity:
DolfanTomNew MemberI still think Ross is just a rich Jets fan who bought the team simply to drive it into the ground. I mean, tell me I'm wrong!

I thought about defending this as a joke, but couldn't bring myself to do it.
Well, look on the bright side, they are not interviewing Wanny or Herm Edwards.....yet.

first&goalluxury_boxI'm totally speechless, appear to me that Ross loves to have around him people without backbone, yes man kind of guys. I even thought that he likes to be constantly in the spot light ala Jerry Jones, without having the knowledge to run a franchise.....but hes having a lot of attention, while the team is suffering to a point of losing the little credibility left.
Sethdaddy8forum_veteranCan I make fun of you, "waiting for Ross defenders" ghost hunters yet?

How about you list one god damned thing wrong with it?
Ireland interviewing coaches who would actually be willing to work with him while Peterson is interviewing coaches that would work with him. Best coach wins. Would YOU want Ireland interviewing Fisher to be his boss?
So maybe Ross should just fire Ireland, no?
VendigosubscriberThey should allow for phone voting. Call 1-800-HERM if you want Carl to win and 1-800-WHORE for Jeff. Survivor Miami, baby.
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only reason for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
