Wooooooow.

Ross no longer gets the benefit of the doubt from me if true.

On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.

Well now we know who Ross was probably calling by the wrong name in interviews.

That's fine tho, farmer wasn't the gm I wanted.

wow... This team sucks. No franchise can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like Miami.

edit: My feelings aren't really about Farmer in particular, but we've lost out on everyone pretty much. Except the guy who's employed w/our team.

Browns exec Ray Farmer, a finalist for the Dolphins GM job, has opted to stay with Cleveland. Will not take second interview with Miami


LMAO....he chose being 2nd in command in CLEVELAND over running his own team in Miami.

this franchise is a ****ing joke.

Why not just go find another team to be a fan of if you feel that way?

Dude's a ****ing moron. And worse… indecisive and spineless.

His football organization is a reflection of that.

And thus, the GM job that's not really a GM job, or maybe sort of is, but that people want but don't want.

I guess I'm the ONLY one who thinks this is good news.

I didn't want Farmer anyway.

Well, if someone OTHER than Gaine gets hired.... then La Canfora has some 'plainin' to do.

Actually this is a win-win…

If the Dolphins continue to be mediocre long enough, fan support will continue to dwindle, as will ROss' income until he has to sell the team to avoid losing money yearly. WIN.

If the Dolphins somehow overcome the hindrance of having an ignoramus as an owner and actually win and make the playoffs, we will be happy. WIN.

It's a no lose situation.

Just don't watch the games though… you'll probably see more dysfunction on the field. That's the new culture in Miami.

All of this to finally end up with Brian Gaine? Really? I did not even want Farmer but between him and Gaine, I would take the former.

I still hope this is not happening...

John Wooten tells me Ray Farmer has reservations about the Dolphins structure. Wooten told Farmer to interview and get clarity on the issue.

Apparently LaCanfora just tweeted that Farmer is now agreeing to a 2nd interview. Stay tuned.

Repeatedly calling a candidate by the wrong name during an interview just goes to show Ross isn't very committed to owning a football team. It's just a hobby to him, albeit a very expensive one, and something he finds cool.

NFL owners don't lose money... wtf are you talking about? In fact, getting a winner would probably be more conducive to him selling considering the franchise is worth less than what he paid for it.

If Farmer needs convincing to come interview then he can stay in Cleveland for all I care. Your resume isn't all that, guy.
