    They also are reporting that Ireland was sitting next to Ross at the Orange Bowl the other night. That signals to me he is staying.

    When that is official Ross has managed to break my heart and forced me to quit the Dolphins

    I have no issues. In a vacuum with perfect players his system is great. Football isn't played in a vacuum. As an OC you need to find a way to enhance your ingredients so that the ingredients you don't have aren't as prominent.

    I feel like Sherman was unable to scheme around our flaws and was highly predictable. When I can guess run/pass before the snap based on down and distance you sure as hell know the defense can too.

    Not enough, especially when we have a HC and GM with issues and we got to somehow get someone credible to be OC?? Good luck getting anyone high profile with this mess.

    That is sad, because nothing is permanent. Evrn if we become great again...we will inevitably suck again.

    In 30 years its quite possible we are telling Patriot fans it doesn't matter what they did in the past, just as we are told that now.

    Sherman was part of the problem, the whole predictable snap count thing and vanilla playcalling did him in. Hope to God Ireland is next.

    They need to do more house cleaning than just Sherman.

    Thank you! Sherman is a good man but he had to go. I wish him the best going forward.

    There is no hope for the franchise as long as Ross owns them. After 46 years I will be done. Time to move on - just like thousands of others already have, and I predict many more will do too. Ross is going to have to buy 30,000 tickets a game to get it on TV next year.

    I've heard of these two mythical plays called screen passes and draw plays. I hope to encounter them one day.

    Wait, how is this possible if Sherman was running the team?

    I agree with this move. Like I posted before I think Sherman more than Ireland is the top weakness and Philbins loyalty to Sherman was holding the team back. On any other team, Lamar Miller would have 600 Yds receiving and 800 yds rushing. Our play design, from the snap count and cadance, to the WRs routes, to the plays called and lack of plays called, are all high school level.

    Criticizing Ireland before Jamar Taylor and Dion Jordans development and Wheeler and Elerbees first year in the system is pre mature. Had Patterson held up, we would not have had Carroll in the secondary and that alone would have probably been enough to get us in the playoffs.

    Let's make another "tweak" thinking it will mean dramatic improvement , we'll bank on that , one more year is all we need , this time next year we'll be preparing for our first game in the playoffs at home , you'll see .....

    I'm glad Mike Sherman was fired. He was a huge issue.

    But, I still have very little faith this is going to work...

    From reports, we have a coach that has tension with our GM and he didn't want to fire his mentor. Yet, we have decided to keep both Ireland & Philbin. Again, how in the world can we think this is going to work?

    I think that wonderful Vince 'strut' gif created by JT is applicable here. I honestly cannot fathom how Ireland appears to have survived an axing.

    Sherman "removed" as OC....does that leave the possibility of him staying on staff in another capacity. I wouldn't mind it.

    that's why this could really turn into a disaster. If he was, and keep Philbin, it just reeks of rotteness and and an Ireland move to expose Philbin. I'm sure Ireland convinced Ross to do this to deflect and buy 1 more year. I swear I hate that guy more than anyone alive !

    It was a joke at the clown beat reporters claiming Sherman was "running the team"

    Apparently not.

    I've posed this question many times, and someone may have posted the answer. If so, I'll be looking for it and I'd appreciate if you have it.

    When has a team kept everyone in tact, after losing seasons, only fired an OC and had success?

    Train wreck written all over it if everyone is kept, smh. This move creates even more tension between Philbin and Ireland. Philbin was threatened with his job so he's pretty much a lame duck. Ireland was extended last year and is now a lame duck this year. All parties are doing what ever it takes to saves their own jobs. What respectable offensive coordinator would want to come here with this mess going on.
