I am a life long Dolphin fan, ands I am fed up with them being average and mediocre. For all the hype about Parcells being a football czar,
WHAT DID HE REALLY DO?? Briing in his cronie from the Dallas Cowboys, and have one decent year, them slip out of town real quiet. Now were left with a below average coach.

They should have fired Sparano, satisfy the “Rooney Rule” which is a real JOKE, then hire a real head coach. Until they do that, they will remain in the middle of the pack, out of the payoffs and irrelevant in the NFL for many years to come. The only way for them to compete, is to be moved to the NFC West.

REALLY don’t like being soaked to help pay for stadiums.

That having been said – If I NEVER see another shot of donald trump in the luxury box in Foxboro I will be happy.

Full disclosure: I am a Patriots fan.

Robert Kraft has consistently shown the rest of the team owners how to be a GREAT owner, and yet (for the most part) they still don’t really seem to get it.

A short review – Here’s how it’s done:

1) Hire the right guy
2) Sign the checks
3) Get the hell out of the way

p.s. – it also helps if you don’t soak the public to build a stadium, because there are some people who don’t like pro football and .

I guess Parcells was right to jump ship with this loony toon owner. I actually miss Wayne Huizenga.

This is like a train wreck where cars just keep coming off the tracks.
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOUR AN NFL FRANCHISE.
YOUR PHINS PHANS DESERVE BETTER !
How can Eric Mangini even be in a conversation?
I…. am at a loss for words……..
I would pray for you but God has more important things to worry about.
Are you getting your advice from LeBron James and his cast of idiots?
Just asking…. your right up there with that stupidity and…. well… you see how his brand is doing… forget the Heat.

Cancelling a press conference seems to be a common event after speaking, or thinking of, Mangini.

bummer ; I grew up in Miami and remember climbing over the chain-linked fence to watch them play … I have supported through the years despite the ridicule … NO MORE!!! I agree with tnphinsfan … time to find another team

And I thought Brad Childress was the biggest buffoon in all of the NFL, Mr. Ross makes him appear to be smart.

The Fins are making the Jets look like a model franchise – BTW that is something not to proud of.

LOL@ this ridiculous comment. But what else should I expect from a Dolphins fan. When was the last time your team sniffed the playoffs, or even won a playoffs game? I’ll wait…

The Dolphins can’t hold the Jets jock. Your franchise has become a joke. I’ll take dysfunctional and successful over being a joke any day of the week. I bet your part owner Serena Williams can throw the ball better than Henne!

Maybe each Minority Owner had homework to call someone and interview them for a head coaching job.

This just in: Ross is on DRUGS

If there is an “agent of the year” award given out anytime soon, I think it’s neck-and-neck between Mangini’s and David Carr’s. Maybe they’re one and the same? These guys NEVER have a problem gettin’ PAID!!!

Wow…as a Dolphins fan I really wanted to believe that this year would define our comeback as a dominant team in the NFL. However, with the recent sale of our team to Ross, the departure of Parcells, and now this apparent game they are playing with coaches and how they are conducting themselves I see bad things in our future. We handcuff our QB and then at the first sign of a “learning curb” we bench him. We let possibly the best DE in franchise history go not once, but TWICE, and now we are playing musical chairs with potentially horrible hires at Head Coach by interviewing Mangini??? Sparano isn’t the best HC in the NFL, AFC, hell even his division. But unless we are going to open the doors to a coach named Cowher then we need to keep them closed for 2011. I think Sparano can do a good job in Miami if given the time, and unfortunately 3 years isn’t enough time. Stop playing games with our team Ross. We need continuity not a revolving door of name tags.

Mr. Ross:

If you’re looking for season tickets, we’ll it’s not me. I cancelled my Dolphins season tickets until further notice. We need a real owner that stresses winning over Hollywood clamour. I don’t care who attends the games. As fan, I want a finished football product. One that is young and upcoming. First thing, the Miami Dolphins need a real QB, one that doesn’t play scared and clueless. Henne is not the answer, he’s a loser. The only four year starting Michigan QB not to beat the OHIO STATE BUCKEYES.

I long for the days of Marino and Shula. Even though they never won the big one, at least people respected them. Ross is a parody of himself, nothing anyone says about him is funnier (or sadder) than this guy is in real life.

Ross a billionaire!!!!! Wonder how he did it….slimy, slippery #@ick.
How many people did he screw along the way.

For years I’ve been a die hard Dolphin fan. Shula, Marino, Huizenga….everyone wanted to work for the Dolphins!!! Ross is taking all the class out of the organization and after this classless treating of Sparano who will ever want to work for these two snakes again….ya that goes for you too(Ireland) you back stabbing #$ick. Harbaugh saw right through these jokers!!!

Forever a Dolphin fan, never a Ross, Ireland fan!!!!

Now I understand why Tuna took himself off the menu down in Miami, i think he was never comfortable after wayne sold the team.
********************************************************
Very astute. If you remember, Parcels had a clause in his contract that said he could leave if Huzinga sold the team.

At the time, Ross was speculated to buy the Dolphins.

It just keeps getting weirder and weirder.This dude is a friggin idiot.Mangini?This cat is really a Jets or Pats fan sent here to blow up the Dolphins.Corporate espionage.He is trying to ruin it on purpose and if he continues to listen to his butt buddy Carl Peterson he will succeed.

Where is J Lo when you need her. She could have diverted all this attention quite easily with her assets.

This is probably the best move the Dolphins have made. Mangini beat the Dolphins, and Patriots this year, and took the Jets deep into overtime with a terrible team. I know he lost to the Bills. However the Bills were much like the Browns in that they had no talent and kept fighting until the end. He obviously had that team playing to its full potential with minimal talent and if given a fair shot (4 years) to build a team he can win a lot of games/

All the regulars know I am a Jets fan of many, many years…but I have a lot of close friends who are Dolphins fans.
All I can say is I’m sorry. I get it. And I’m hoping the Miami ship rights itself.

No DOUBT…The above replies are the funniest thing i’ve ever read on PFT.

This is jets crap..Dolphins/fans do not need this…They thought Wayne was bad [ he was]…this retard operates on a different planet.

Somewhere, Kraft & Belichick are smiling.
