So, you dont think Ireland should have said...."Mr. Ross, do you realize this is not how you do business in the NFL? You also realize there will be *HUGE* backlash if we actually fly out there with Tony still the Coach?"


He obviously did not properly warn, educate, or anything else to Mr. Ross. Becuase if he had, Ross would not have done it.

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

....And by the way, Mr. Ross even said during the press conference "I am sorry for this, I did not know the proper way things are handled in this league."


DO you know what that means, Phinsfan????


That means.....IRELAND DID NOT TELL HIM.

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

Ireland probably cowered in the corner like a girl and wet himself.

“Whatever you says misser Ross. Will do sir…”

this team is pathetic. the coach and gm get rewarded for a horrible season (in which at least they wanted to fire the coach) with more money and contract extensions. I am really losing hope as in the wanny years

"How do you know he DIDN'T say something like that?

At the press conference all three of them had, Ireland said he was in favor of keeping Sparano from the beginning and NOT going after Ross.

Obviously Ross was aware of this and told him "get on the plane."

You are in the military A&O... what do you do when your boss tells you to do something, even if you disagree with it, and you both know he's aware of your position on the issue?"



&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Of course you do what your boss says to do in the end. Because ultimately, he is in charge.


But, Mr. Ross specifically said, "I dont know the process of hiring coaches."


So to me, that means..."Nobody told me that what we were doing was wrong."

Again....just seems fairly simple that Ireland never said anything if Ross didnt know.

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

Sparano has an extension with more powers, now Ireland gets an extension. Wow!!!! They had an abortion of a season and now they get rewarded. Sounds like Huizenga and Wannsteadt all over again!!!

Class organization I must say .....

"Ireland is turning into the next Matt Millen."



&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Oh please God no, dont say that.


Seriously though, he is better than Millen. I dont think Millen ever landed any players while in Detroit. Ireland has built a top 3 defense. He just needs to work on the offense and special teams now.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
He is part of it, right!? You dont think he is a reason why guys like Cam Wake, Vontae Davis, Sean Smith, Reshad Jones, and all those other youg talented defensive players are here?

Ugh, I don't know what to say, we are not going to be very good anytime soon
