    What was he right about, unless this is sarcasm, I have a hard time determining around these parts. Ross wasn't happy with the status quo, and offered a demotion or the obvious alternative, take a hike. It was Ross' decision to to remove him from final personnel decisions. Of course I am assuming here, but I doubt Ireland was offered the decision to take a smaller role or retain his previous one. Who else made the decision but Ross?

    Didn't read the thread because the thread title and OP told me all I needed to know.

    However, I'll play.

    The answer. Nothing. Nothing is life is certain but death.

    I'm not defending LB, but many of those random voices on the internet were calling for the ouster of Jeff Ireland 2 years before the lightbulb went off in Ross's head.....I'm just sayin'

    That means nothing.

    We are talking about a scenario where one of two things can be true: GM X will either great or should be fired. That means someone has a 50/50 shot of being right under those conditions.

    Many fans wanted Belichick fired in Cleveland at one time.

    A broken clock is right twice a day. There were others who praised him and still do.

    I thought it came out that T-baum over-ruled Hickey in the 2nd round this year, and it was made clear that was HIS choice and not Hickey's

    I seem to remember Gholston was a Tannenbaum pick, as was Sanchez.....

    D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Nick Mangold, Darrelle Revis, David Harris, and Muhammad Wilkerson were also Tannenbaum picks.

    Rex is a good coach, but it was Tannenbaum's built teams that went to back-to-back AFC title games.

    Was Tannenbaum there before Rex? I know they went on a free agent spree after Rex came on board, but did he assemble that roster before Rex came in?

    Very few around the league respect Ross as an owner, as a businessman he obviously commands respect but as an owner he's considered a joke. That's the harsh truth.

    Insider info you're sharing with us? To me this is just a baseless statement, obviously no one would say this on record, but is there a credible source?

    Tannenbaum took over GM in 2006. Rex came in as HC in 2009.

    I guess, we shall see.

    I believe it's more about the owner than the fans.

    Probably due to the way you worded the thread title.

    I am very thankful that Dennis Hickey is with us, and I am really liking his first two seasons with the club, and he had made some really good finds through all avenues. I hope the Dolphins renew his contract, and gives him a raise before he is even due yet. Very important move for our team.
