So you think Philbin is right for wanting to keep Sherman around? Enjoy your island.

 

I dont think that is the point he is trying to make here.

 

so you think its all on Sherman and Philbin didnt want the offense ran like that? Enjoy your Island.

 

Seemingly? That's a bit vague. What facts do you have Bpk that Philbin has a beef with Ireland? Not knocking you Bpk, i just want to know what the apparent issues are?

 

I do. You can't dictate to your coach who he should work with. It never ends well. If TPTB think Philbin is the right man for the job, he should have the staff he wants. If Ireland provided Sherman with the right players, I think Sherman would of been far more consistent. Instead, he's forced to coach Sparano's leftovers and plug in players who don't fit the system and/or play out of position. Ireland must go before any other changes occur. Period.

 

fire the gm, give the new one permission to fire philbin if he sees fit

 

Apparently, if you're Stephen Ross... it doesnt.

 

Which is better than hiring a GM to work directly with Philbin for the purposes of getting the right players? Dolphin fans gunna Dolphin fan.

 

It's been obvious for quite a while.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Hard to really say anything based off rumor and innuendo is "obvious".

 

I'm assuming that's what made him make this thread based on the timing but if not then ok.

 

You can't just get rid of 53 guys and bring in 53 new ones in a year or two. It's an ongoing process. Let these guys finish building the team they want and then see where they're at.

 

Not to mention it's Armando.

 

When the Dolphins had a crisis on the offensive line, the coaching staff refused to turn to the front office's 3rd round pick and decided instead they need a practice squad player promoted.

When the Dolphins had injuries at corner, they refused to turn to the front office's 2nd and 3rd round picks and turned instead to a practice squad safety from the 49ers that had only just arrived with the team earlier in the week.

Then you have the non-use of Dion Jordan, the friction with Mike Wallace, etc.

Yeah I think it's pretty clear there's a disconnect between the front office and the coaching staff. Doesn't mean it's true of every transaction, but I think it's generally true.

 

Amazing how when something happens that contradicts rumors accepted as fact, the immediate reaction is "the person in charge is an idiot", as opposed to "maybe I shouldn't accept rumors as fact? Maybe I've been given bogus information?".

 

How is it the the people on the outside looking in, who rely on TV and newspapers to judge what's going on are spotting the "obvious" while the people on the inside with all the necessary info are lost?

 

That makes zero sense.

Who brought the practice squad players here? Jordan and Wallace are non-stories, especially Wallace.

 

That's the solution. Don't understand why its taking so long

 

I just don't understand how people can still look at ANYONE in the NFL media and take their word as fact when they, "report."

The amount of initial info that is 100% false is amazing.

 

Because that would cost a lot of money, with no guarantee of a better result. It very may well be the best course of action, but when the "solution" involves risking 8-figures in expenditures, it is easy to see why it would take time to reach a decision.

 

Because maybe its those very people on the inside, who are indeed the ones who are lost.

 

Exactly. Neither coach was given the tools to succeed with. And I'm not crazy about either coach. They could fire philbin tmw I would be cool w that. But I don't want ireland sabotaging another coach

 

I mean taking the information into account is one thing. Even taking it as fact isn't that bad on the surface. Its really when the people with all the information and resources make a decision that runs counter to the rumors and innuendo that things go off the deep end. The default thinking is almost always "these people are idiots", not "I am ill-informed".

 

IIRC the coaches chose to play Thomas at OT, not OG. Will Davis was never behind Michael Thomas on the depth chart. Jamar Tayloy simply couldn't stay healthy. Dion Jordan is being brought along slowly, that's fair. But there's also Vernon's breakout season to consider. And of course it's pretty much official now, Ireland stays.

Looks like you guys are gonna have to come up with some new theories bc none of your dogs seem to be hunting.

 

Maybe. But those with more information will generally make a better decision.

 

Apparently, it will never become obvious.

There is one consistent link between the last six years of disappointing Dolphins football. It's not John Denney or Brandon Fields.

 

More likely it's the people on the outside taking their own opinions a little to seriously.

 

And we can all celebrate your binky returning.

WOOHOO! Mediocrity for all!

**** am I glad it's hockey season so I can forget I love this ****ty franchise.

 

Sun Life Stadium?

 

There are plenty of 'consistent links'. Literally over a dozen.

 

Ditto.

It's pretty obvious that we've been mediocre for quite some time with this structure in place, with this coaching staff, and a previous one.

 

I don't think you can put a tin foil hat on someone bc they view Armando, Omar, etc as idiots.

It's clear that many of them just throw **** against the wall looking for hits so why wouldn't anyone be extremely skeptical of what they're selling today?

 

Is that when Steven Ross hits repeat? Funny stuff dude. I hope it goes down like this, and then Steven Ross throws Ireland out of the Davie office like Uncle Phil used to do to Jazzy Jeff. RIP Uncle Phil.

 

My prediction is Ross will not fire Ireland or Philbin, but there may be some changes in the assistant coaching ranks.

This will be a mistake and the Dolphins will continue to fall behind the Jets, Bills, and Patriots in 2014. After finishing next year 5-11 or 6-10, Ross will realize too late that he was wrong in not blowing up this team after the 2013 season by getting rid of Philbin and Irland.

The rebuilding process will start with a new GM and a new head coach after the 2014 season and it will take at least three more years before the Dolphins are a legitimate playoff contender.

So right now I figure not much will change with Ross as this teams owner and we are probably looking at 2017 as the year the Dolphins might finally make the playoffs. I hope I am wrong, but I have zero confidence Ross will make the right decisions this year in regards to getting rid of the present GM and HC and hiring the right men to turn this team around.
