the Miami Dolphins franchise is in shambles

Comments from ThePHINS forum for Dolphin fans...


This is pathetic.

CLEAN HOUSE TOTALLY
COACHES
GM
HALF THE PLAYERS QB, RB, OL, WR
Keep Grimes, Hartline, Punter

another embarrassment in a decade plus of
embarrassments.

This whole ****ty organization can suck my
****ing dick

Who gives a ****? That where I'm at now.
Starting over yet again. I'm not wasting my
money on jerseys, I'm not getting excited about
a coach or a young quarteback. This team has
to earn my excitement back. I'm 26, I've never
seen anything close to a winner and I've just
given all the emotion I can.

What a disaster.

Everyone needs to go...
its over. Blow it
all up and start over.

Gonna be long rest of the season.
Im at a loss for words.

we have no identity once again, cant run, barely
we can pass, defense stinks, special teams, and
coaching is a laughter

Yeah clean sweep.

flat out pathetic.

this team sucks on and off the field

any other teams on our schedule we beat? i
can't think of any

Blow up time

I barely care anymore. All the losing has made
me immune to it.

The Dolphins are the worst
team in the league. They may not win another
game this year

WE have the worst coaches in the NFL

Embarrassing season all around.

The only thiing this team has adapted to is
sucking bad each week

There is no way I can watch any sports channel
for a long time now - it was bad before and
now it will be unbearable as they point fingers
at the whole organization falling apart.

The Clowns!
Our GM acts like a clown
The entire team trips over their clown shoes
And our goofy ass owner looks like a clown
The Miami Clowns

I'd clean house though, let the new GM/Coach
decide. If the GM decides to keep Philbin, so be
it... I think players are going to not want to
come play here though if Philbin is back,
considering all this happened on his watch.

this is disgusting.

I haven't felt this bad about this
organization in a long time. And I have
supported this team for 40 plus years.

Philbin has had this train wrech for 5 preseason
games and 9 regular season games and has
been able to find no answers. He has presided
over a franchise that has become not only a
laughing stock but an object of contempt. He is
a monumental failure
it will take a decade or more to
recover from this, because no one will want to
come to play or coach here. We all need to
understand the scale of this disaster.

It's a mess. We're a mess.

**** this team, **** me, and **** football.
Thank god I live in Charlotte NC (for now) and
can hear some positivity from a real franchise
for a little bit on the radio. When I move back to
ORlando in a few weeks Ill be begging for
suicide until NBA playoffs start......seriously
thank god for the HEAT.

We waited 11 days to see this. I hope San
Diego rapes our face....I can't even fathom
living in Charlotte if/when the Panthers murder
us. I hope SunTrust hires me in Orlando before
that so I can move away...

If I'm an LA investor looking to move the team
to Los Angeles I am on the phone with Ross
tonight.

I swear to ****ing god Don Shula sucked the
devils dick in the 1960s to give us the
undefeated season and curse us for eternity.
How else can you explain Marinos failures?!
Imagine Tom Brady being as good as he is, but
with 0 superbowls? Manning? It doesnt happen
like that. But it did to us. Montana, Brady,
Manning, Favre, Young all ****ing hang out and
share beers and record setting season stories,
with Marino....except Marino has no ring. ****
me. And **** this. This team is cursed I swear
to god.

I think the final coffin nail has been hammered
in for Philbin,Ireland and Tannehill...Big changes
coming for next season.

I was a Dolphins Fan.
Was.
From 1977 to October20 th,2103. The
loss to the Patriots was it for me. Made
me realize that the Dolphins were
hopelessly inept and have been since
Shula was fired and Marino retired.
Class?
Right...Shula brought it to organization
and took it with him when he was
fired.
Hope?
As in Miami always had a chance as
long as Marino was slinging passes if
the defense could get the ball back into
his hands at the end of the game?
Wannstedt kicked that out the door
with Marino. I should have realized
that on the day in New England when,
with a chance to make the playoffs, he
called for a pass from a weak armed
QB into a strong wind instead of a run,
on the day when team was unstoppable
running it the ball. Result? Incomplete
pass, bad punt, and a quick drive for
the game winning FG. No playoffs,
season over.
I know, it was one bad play call, but it
epitomized the Dolphins organization
after the Shula and Marino years. False
hope being sold in a bottle by a
completely inept organization. You
can't even call the Dolphins snake-oil
sellers, they aren't that smart. Owner
to new owner, coach to coach, I finally
had enough, I quit, retired as a fan. I
still have the Marino and Shula, years,
and I feel bad for the younger fans that
didn't have them, never got to watch
one of those games. Knew what it was
like, almost every season, to always be
alive—in the hunt.
Quitting gave me a chance to set back
and look at everything honestly. To
laugh at those ridiculous new uniforms
—the Aquafresh toothpaste uniforms
that make a mockery of everything the
Dolphins ever were. To know the
owner, if he were smart and wanted to
restore that lost culture of class and
winning ways, needs to fire the GM
and the entire coaching staff, but
knowing he won't. I don't care, I'm no
longer a fan, I just to get laugh at all of
it, of the time I spent being a foolish
fan buying those bottles of false hope,
year after year. I'm laughing mostly at
myself.

more:

Ireland should definitely be gone. I said all
along I would give him till the end of this year.
But I'm not waiting.
Going forward, I don't want Marino to have
anything to do with being in charge of any kind.
He is not Elway. Elway's success in Denver
management has no bearing and is no indicator
of how Marino would do. Marino is not that
football smart. He hated film study. He hated
strategy. He had so much natural ability he
didn't need to be anything more than he was.
Its a testament to his talent, but also an
indictment of his brain and ego. If we were
talking Peyton Manning or a Steve Young, that
would be a different story.
As far as coaches go, I think if you can't get
Gruden (who I think might have been winking in
our direction last night) then you go Mike
Shula. It would be a PR boon and he's actually
making a legitimate name for himself in Carolina
(his time in Alabama wasn't as bad as it
sounded considering it was during a NCAA
probation). I want a young, hungry and
innovative OC. No more old men, who have
seen it all and are inclined to outsmart
themselves.

(named some players to keep then wrote)
Everyone else can get the f*** out. Especially
the entire coaching staff. Toss them all out.

Well again my team embarrases us on National
TV. where do I start, Philbin can not coach, I
would put Matt Moore in, our Off stinks with
tannerhill, I give up on him, terrible cecision
making, and has no pocket presense, OL stinks,
Again OL stinks! clean house, dont know how
they went 3-0. CLEAN HOUSE AGAIN! Ilove my
phins, But I am very ashamed to say I'm a
Dolphin fan!!

Offer Bill Cowher a billion dollars

This Dolphins team is
and has been a comedy of errors. The absurd and
horrendous ways that this team finds a way to
fail year in and year out are too ridiculous to
make up.
I'm going to put
things into perspective, try to worry about my
own personal success in life instead of living
vicariously through athletes that suck anyway,
laugh off this season and hope that maybe
someday this ******* organization can put a
winning product on the field.

Owner clueless - check
GM incompetent - check
Team in disarray - check
Hopes for the season dashed - check
Can it somehow get any worse - yes

You gotta laugh and just shake your head man,
its ridiculous these guys are making millions!
They don't give a **** about us and yet we sit in
agony watching them play with no effort and
coaching who just doesn't get it.

none of these people deserve to remain on
our team. Fire everyone.

ya...every year same old bs...lose to
tampa...i don't think i could feel any lower right
now

Blow it up. Fire them all.

This is just embarrassing.

I'm more disgusted with this team then I was
with the 1-15 team.

I haven't posted much
here, but I pretty much read this forum most
everyday. I've been a fan since I was young in the
80's. Plain and simple. I'm tired of losing. I'm
tired of being the joke of the league. I'm tired of
it. I tired of being mocked for being a Dolphins
fan. I'm tired of getting hopes up over nothing. I
wanted to believe even after all the issues and I
didn't want to once again spend years
"rebuilding" but I'm at the point, blow it up. Fire
everyone and lets start with something better. I'm
sick of waiting, but I can't deal with this. It's just
sad. Very sad. Please for the love God fix this Mr.
Ross...

It REALLY hard being a Dolphins fan right now

dumbest coaches in the league

Im hating this team, but every few years in the
coaching carousel you may find a Mike Smith or
Jim/John Harbaugh but you get coaches that are
going to struggle. They make corrections (firing
staff) and make adjustments. We have to give
them time. Philbin has been on the job 1 1/2
years.
I believe that they are on the right path, they need
a little time.

I love that
after a loss to a winless team , 1-5 in our last
6 , and with recent non football events someone
still thinks we are on the right path.

i think I'm done with the dolphins. It's sad.

at this point everyone has to go.

They all suck. It's time to blow it up. I want to
win and we never will with this group.

The media circus is about to go tenfold. Ireland is
the most unprofessional GM I've ever seen and
needs to be fired. This corn farmer head coach
should follow him out the door. Mike Sherman
needs to be put in a nursing home. We'll be lucky
if Tannehill finishes the season in one piece. This
whole #@&*#*&^% franchise is a joke and I think
I've hit my limit!!!!

 

[Am I Blue Through it All?]

I say blow them up. There are a few players the Colts could certainly use.

 

[tshirt]

I was less embarrassed after 62-7 and less
embarrassed after 1-15. In 25 years as a Dolphin
fan, this is rock bottom. This team is a piñata... A
punch line.

The whole team sucks

7 head coaches in 13 years..........Shula must
have put a curse on the organization when he
left. The only way to lift the curse is to name
Mike Shula the next HC.

We are so stupid for supporting the owners and
managers. I understand the dedication by fans,
but please.... You are better off taking your family
to a local basketball or baseball game. Or take
the money you would spend on dolphins and
donate it to the salvation army this christmas.

This franchise has fallen to
another new low. 1-5 in the last 6 games this
team sux period. Tannehill is a sack waiting to
happen. He has no instincts at all. The fans
deserve better. This team finds a new franchise
low all the time. One week losing at home to the
Bills. Follow that with a complete 2nd half
collapse against the patriots. Now this. Why even
wait. Appoint an interim coach and let's play the
coaching lotto again.

I am just a glutton for punishment rooting for
these Dolphins.

This team is full of stupid.
Please fire Philbin….Please.
Can we leave the coaching staff at the Tampa
airport? Is that something we can do?

you said it perfect, this team really is full of
stupid. Fire Philbin, he's in over his weird head

Ross mentioned something about a council of
former Miami Dolphins that will advise him in
cleaning things up (Dan Marino, Jason Taylor,
Don Shula, etc.). I hope Ross and his new council
can clean up this organization because from top
to bottom it seems like nobody cares.

I can't remember the last time I was
this frustrated watching us lose.

It always amazes me how much I underestimate
this team's desire to lose games

I can't speak for you guys but I can say this for
myself: Miami will never fool me again. I will
never get my hopes up again
I know that sounds morbid, but think about it for
a moment. It will be a huge relief to not expect
anything anymore. We can still be fans, but it
wont feel so depressing when they start a season
0-5 because you just don't care as much
anymore.

We have been a bad team for so long that every
game more and more fans are throwing the towel
in. What does it take for management to see the
problem , if all of the fans can see it why in gods
name cant they? I can understand Jeff Irelands
view he is getting richer year after year. But Ross
what the hell are you getting out of all of this?
You are not helping a once proud football team
and prouder fans at all. If you love the Dolphins
clean the cancer that has spread through this
team or sell it to somebody who can.

none of these people deserve to remain on
our team. Fire everyone.

I laughed, I cried, I drank, I yelled at the kids,
whole franchise is a comical, angry mess. Funny
thing is I'm becoming somewhat resilient to the
hysterics of the team. Whenever I think it cannot
get any worse, it does.
Now watch, Pouncy will be arrested, draft picks
pilfered, coach and or GM retained, and Tannehill
will defect to Cuba. NOTHING surprises me any
more with this team, bad mojo times 10.

It's time to fire everyone. Trade anyone with any
value for future picks. Cut every over paid and
underperforming contract. Get a real GM (not a
ball boy) and start over.....again.

I think everyone is fed up of the complete and
utter ineptitude of this organization.
Clean house Ross or sell it to someone who will.

i wont even
lie i had 3 dolphins fan pages on my fb and i
unliked them all.

This team does not seem to care so why
should I?

Steve Ross needs to be proactive right now and
just ****-can everyone.

I had 2 tickets on my dashboard of my car
and someone smashed the windshield and put 2
more in the ****ing car!!!

Best way to sell ltickets now:
After every qt they should do a seat raffle and let
that fan fire someone

Ireland, Philbin, Sherman, line coaches, scouting
department, Aponte, whoever the figurehead
present guy is, can all of them.
keep the support staff and blue-collar folks.
Everyone else goes!

I have no faith we'll win another game

 

[HaroldSeattle]

tshirt says he hasn't been a Dolphin since 2003 (I'm assuming 2103 was a typo), however he sure sounds like a pissed off fan. Better luck next year.

those comments are cut-and-pasted from Dolphins forums. here are some more:

Im done with this team, every FUC**** week I cant wait for the games and have hope and EVERY WEEK for as long as I can remember its an embarrassment, how does this keep on happening to us???? Terrible coaching and play calling in the 2nd half just terrible! Terrible play terrible everything !!!! Im so done, Im not watching no more of this sh*t and thank god that the Miami Heat start on tuesday so I can just forget Miami even has a POS football team F*** THIS!

eff this team

This is the biggest collective group of losers I've ever seen.

our team sucks major ass.

Coaches sucks,QBsucks,offensive line sucks,defence sucks,refs sucks!!!I have no faith in this qb. We suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

**** this team.

I'm calling them the Miami FRAUDphins for the rest of the season.

**** EVERYBODY except for Tannehill, Matthews, and Wake

There is no way anyone but Tannehill survives this season. Ireland. Philbin. Gone.

Until they blow up the whole ****ing team, **** these pathetic Dolphins. What a ****ing embarrassment.

**** them.

screw them.

This makes me sick

What a joke.

last night placed a cap on the early nightmare that 2013 is becoming. Philbin and Sherman could double as comedy show on Nickleodeon.

so what will this team do to further the embarassment of supporting them this week??

Fans deserve better than this

Jeff Ireland is one of the worst GM's in football and I will celebrate the day he gets fired.

Ireland is obviously gone. He deserved to be gone two years ago. One of the worst GMs in the NFL, and a huge douchebag to boot. His mother might be a whore. That, I cannot confirm.

I am honestly sad, disappointed and overall just really ****ing depressed

Its a cluster **** all the way around.

Blow this thing up. As in, now. Ireland should be fired tomorrow.

Cleann house from everyone from towel boy to GM and everyone between.

Clean house, as in I don't want this coach to be here tomorrow, I don't want this GM to be here tomorrow. Get rid of Sherman too.

its now a foregone conclusion everybody will be fired from GM to the entire coaching staff.

Ross shouldn't wait till the offseason. Fire Ireland now, make an example of him as a scapegoat for the Martin-Incognito embarrassment. Maybe fire Philbin and Sherman now too.

Fire everyone.

Blow it up.

Fire them all. Every single one.

Fire everyone Ross. Especially Ireland.

Time to clean house.

Time to blow it up

It is time to blow this team up and start over. Because other than a few players on this roster, this team just isn't very good.

Fire everybody re-build for the 100x again.

just blow this **** up

Everything from the owner down....

i think it is time just to do a clean reboot.

everything from the top down.

Despicable...how can anyone defend this entire staff anymore?

no quality coach or gm will want to come into this mess of a franchise.

Hoping they clean house after the season. This time I hope they hire a GM and scouting team that actually knows what they are doing. Also hope they hire some young innovative coach who will hire coordinators that are progressive thinking.

 

[Wolverine830872]

Wow, I think its pretty clear that Dolphins fans are delusional. They're currently ranked #7 in the playoff standings and only a game behind #6. I never realized that a 4-5 team could be the worst thing ever. But if they should blame anyone it should be the guy who jinxed them:

You're telling me that you wouldn't feel as hopeless as we do with all this stuff going on, all the injuries, being 1-5 in the last 6, etc. The team is a pure disgrace in every way.
