It's not a good sign when Vikings personnel would rather remain assistant GM than possibly become GM for Miami.

The Phins will reportedly be interviewing their 7th candidate, Vikings' George Paton, next week. I wonder how many have simply said "not interested".

I am sure when coach Philbin explains his vision for this team and how close we are then we will find the perfect GM just like we found the perfect OC..

I was kinda liking the doom n gloom vibe.

Is Stephen Ross Any Better?

Like Huizenga before him, Stephen Ross opened up his wallet trying to get the Dolphins to the Super Bowl. He made some un-fanlike decsions showing that he really didn't understand his fans or any fan in the NFL. The Club Suites, selling minority team shares to celebritie, courting Jim Harbough while he still had a coach (ruining the friendship of Ireland and Sparano in the process), and having Tebow-day when our Dolphins faced the Tebow-led Denver Broncos in Miami ... ouch! We do want to get on board with our owner, but he has made it difficult.



What we want is a winning team, and we want to do it with class.

The NFL and Dolphin fans are scratching our heads wondering what is going to come of this new search for a GM. We do not like his choice in Joe Philben as head coach, and we did not like Philben's decisions to hire Mike Sherman as his OC and change the Dolphins from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defense. It has shown on the field why this was a bad decision. Most of us wanted him to clear the slate and just start over. But he likes Philben and believes in him.

Ross has created a triangle power structure under himself with Dawn Aponte as his money person, Joe Philben as his head coach, and a GM in charge of talent evaluation and personnel. Most of the quality GMs will want absolute power over the head coach and VP, but they will not get it in Miami. And on top of that, he is getting advice from his buddy Carl Peterson whom most Dolphins fans despise.

Hmmm ...

This should all be interesting, and the future of the Dolphins depends on it. I have no idea who our next GM will be, and I really don't have the confidence to say that Ross will make the right decision. I am hopeful .... I have to be. I'm a Dolphins fan and this is my team. Owners and coaches come and go, but fans stick with their team through the hard times.

In honor of Ross deciding to keep Philbin I think it would be good for him to also change the song when the Phins come out of the tunnel to "Going to a go go" by Somkey Robinson and the Miracles.

Wake me up before you go - go would be more appropriate. But I like your idea.
