So we hire a new GM and expect him to use the same scouts? That is a little odd... WOuldnt a GM want to work with his own scouts that he trusts and has a relationship with? Or does not only our new GM get no control over any of his coaching staff but he also gets the last guy who was fired scouts? And I am not knocking Gaine, I hear good things about him, but come on this is all a bit ridiculous structure...

And maybe he is studying QBs, CB's and DE's, because that is what the team he currently works for needs to improve on their roster...
Also you think that some other team is going to let him walk with all the material and reports they paid him to produce to give to another team... Sure the guy is there, but it is not the same, what they are doing and producing as I said is property of another team..
It is not the end of the world but it surely isn't a good thing, or something that doesn't matter...

hey crowder, don't you know ross made billions in real estate? so this is a perfectly acceptable way to run the team, notwithstanding the fact that the rest of the nfl is laughing at us and those who are not are scratching their heads in confusion

Actually its not odd at all.
Scouts contracts aren't up until after the draft.
He's not going to be able to hire his own people until May anyway.
Seriously...what team is going to let its scouts walk to another organization and take with them the work they've done on college players for the last 9 months?
Why do you think the Browns are freezing Farmer out of their player evaluation meetings until this is resolved?
You may be able to hire a guy to be GM if a team lets you interview him, but you can't raid other teams scouts until after the draft.
Another overblown story by the media IMO. The scouts can handle it. I'd rather see Philbin locked in a room with Lazor right now. They're talking scheme, yes, but also personnel. Who can play? Who can't? What are we missing? What are our priorities?
Very important stuff given that the offense was pretty anemic and the draft and FA fast approaching.

IMO the new GM would be crazy to fire them. The Dolphins have one of the best scouting staffs in the NFL, a legacy from the Rick Spielman days and built on by Jeff Ireland. Say what you will about both men in terms of lousy decision making, but both benefitted from reams and reams of GOOD data on players.

None of the scouts will get let go until after the draft.
Looks like Pioli went to the Falcons. I'm glad Ross doesn't seem to be in a hurry. How is the Lobster and wine were ever you are Jet setting you 4 eyed.....^%!!# **&!
Agreed, this whole situation is way overblown. Philbin is doing what he should be doing and thats working to fix our scheme and sysatem flaws with the new OC and the rest of the staff. The scouts are doing thier jobs as is the assistant GM...we have it covered.
What a cluster. No wonder we draft guys that can't play. Damn they should have called me I would have went scouting for them
This is like little league. if you draft based on the tryout( combine) you are in trouble!
