Seriously? How the hell has being a destination in the past been a boon for the Dolphins? It hasn't. It hasn't done **** for us. We've gotten exactly 0 free agents that have got us over the hump. Just because you think its important, doesn't make it so. Give me one single example of a big time free agent that chose us over anywhere else that was the missing piece to our team. One example. I'll wait.
You are jumping to conclusions. You aren't alone. A lot of Dolphins are jumping to conclusions right now. That's why I said "people".
Interesting...Mike Silver on Twitter is saying that Ross wouldn't budge on Ireland having personnel power...guess Ross wasn't so sold on having that 'name brand' guy afterall....
Retweeted by CK: Rizzmiggizz I cant be held responsible for what I do if I see Jeff Ireland in the knives section of Walmart LMAO
Ireland is a schmuck but there is nothing in Fisher's resume to suggest he deserves final say on personnel. Been down that road before. Lets move on.
To the anti Fisher crowd...... I can wait to see what kind of twisted, deformed, and underqualified ****ing rabbit Ross pulls out of his hat now.
That was weak. How many championships did he lead us too? 0. How many teams were bidding on him and our status as a destination was the difference? 0. Like I said it wasn't a factor. Stick to basketball.
It's reported that Fisher was willing to negotiate but wanted more personnel control but Ross told him nope, that Ireland was his guy. That's why Fisher decided on the Rams.
what is being reported makes Ross out to be a total idiot. it seems that the reason Fisher took so long was because he was holding out that Ross would budge on his undying devotion to the whore master Ireland.
I for one am glad, I didn't want a retread coach. I want to develop our OWN Sean Peyton. Give me a hungry, young coordinator looking to make a name for himself. Carmichael sounds great.
He led us to our only division championship int he last 11 years, and damn near the entire league would have signed him as a backup. he came to us...BECAUSE Bill Parcells was here...BECAUSE Bill Parcells came here due to the Dolphins being a DESTINATION. Stick to *****ing about Republicans.
OMGDZ!!! WE SUCKZ!!! WHY DO I FOLLOWZ THIS TEAMZ!!!! NOW EVERYONEZ GOING TO TEAZE ME!!!! There did that cover everyone hysteria?
So Ross is an idiot because he didn't want to give Fisher personnel control and was firm on his stance? Riiiiiight.
Riiiiiiiight. More speculation passed off as fact. Typical Section. Wait, lemme guess, you knew this was gonna happen all along, because of your sources, right? Besides, if the whole "destination" thing meant anything, how does any team not a destination sign a free agent?
Dear Mr Ross You are a ****ing ****** and the most inept owner in sports today. You make Al Davis look like Art Rooney. Sell the team to Mickey Arrison who actually knows what the **** he is doing.
that is NOT what is being reported. So don't erect strawmen. Might as well had said that he didn't want to have sex with Fisher on the orange carpet. What is being reported is that he wanted to keep Ireland with complete personnel control which is patently ridiculous if you want a "name" coach.
Somewhere John Gruden is pondering if he can get 10 Million a year out of Ross. Strike while the iron is hot.
I think his point was that the team didn't want to acquire Fisher in the capacity he wanted to come here in. The choice was Miami's, not Fisher's.
Not speculation. I said that because Chad ****ing Pennington SAID THAT. My sources say that you like to argue. You get off on it, and I would bet dollars to dolphin tickets that you have your pants around your ankles right now.
Ireland caused this, no respectful coach will agree to having him be in control of their fate... Were going with a rookie..
Amen brother......this would be the best scenario for the Phins. Putting all bias aside. Jeff Fisher is a 8-8 coach. Of course he could be a 10-6 coach with all the excuses made for why he has only had 6 winning seasons out of 16. Today is a good day!!!!
Which of your sources told you that one? And I have no problem with that. Fisher hasn't done anything to suggest he'd be successful with GM control also, imo. People act like it's a guarantee he'd do well with all that power lol The grass is always greener until the **** hits the fan.
