At least Ireland's out: Official 2014 Miami Dolphins Off-Season thread

Cant wait to see this list

Well i'm gonna lean on you guys to educate me on this. I dont know much about GMs around the league.

We need someone who's a good scout for talent good overall GM

1. Tom Gamble, Philadelphia Eagles Director of Pro Personnel

Analysis: Definitely keep an eye on Gamble, who has done a good job helping build playoff teams in San Francisco and Philadelphia. I’m hearing Gamble is a favorite of Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, which will go a long way in this process. Gamble is the right-hand man to Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and has strong ties to Philadelphia. It would take a lot to convince Gamble to leave. But an opportunity to run his own team in Miami as general manager for the first time in his career might do the trick.

2. Mike Tannenbaum

Analysis: Many Dolphins fans may scoff at the idea of a former New York Jets general manager running the Dolphins. But Ross, who lives in New York, has an unexplained affinity for “Gang Green.” Tannenbaum was the Jets’ GM from 2006-2012 and has plenty of experience. He’s only been out of the NFL for one year and knows the AFC East division well. Tannenbaum is not considered a hot name in league circles right now, which could work in Miami’s favor if interested.

3. Scott Pioli

Analysis: Pioli is a Bill Belichick disciple with a good track record of success with the New England Patriots. However, Pioli had mostly a bad stint as general manager with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was fired after four seasons. Similar to Tannenbaum, Pioli is not considered a hot name for general manager openings. That could work in Miami’s favor if the Dolphins want to make a run at Pioli.

4. Eric Mangini, San Francisco 49ers consultant

Analysis: I would be surprised if Mangini gets the GM gig, considering he’s never served in that role and most of his experience is in coaching. However, Mangini makes the list because his name continues to come up behind the scenes. I’m hearing Ross likes Mangini. He also has a strong rapport with Dawn Aponte, who is Miami’s lead contract negotiator and has a lot of power within the Dolphins’ organization. Anyone who has both Ross and Aponte on their side cannot be ignored in the Dolphins’ search. If not at GM, it’s possible that Mangini could get another role in the front office if both sides can find the right fit.

5. Brian Gaine, Dolphins assistant general manager

Analysis: Gaine is the only legitimate, in-house candidate for Miami. However, he’s strictly a fallback plan. The Dolphins like Gaine, who has done a decent job working behind Ireland. But I’m told the Dolphins are looking to make a splash from the outside. Promoting Gaine, Ireland’s pupil, will feel like Miami is spinning its wheels. It’s doubtful Gaine gets serious consideration unless a host of outside candidates turn down the job.

im in the Philly media market, Gamble is being interviewed. he seems to be the top choice

Roseman is a pretty sharp guy, he had a great 2013 draft without Reid up his ass. im be interested in his right hand man, GTFOH with Mike fukking Tanny

As an advisor or something like that sure I'd take him. But not as a gm, not without any personnel history.
But he could be bred to be a good gm

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

Seattle and San Fran seem to draft the best. We need to get somebody from there


The Bengals have have drafted really well lately too

 

[WaddupDoe!]

You nikkas are trying to our two people we dont want to lose most.

Lazor is a guy thats on the up and coming. Gamble has played a bigger role then what is reported in our drafting/FA signings. We cant lose these nikkas after just one season!

 

[Da_Eggman]

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that former Texans HC Gary Kubiak is also being considered for the Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator position.

Kubiak recently met with the Detroit Lions regarding this head-coaching vacancy and numerous reports have indicated that they appear to be targeting an offensive-minded coach, so he can’t be ruled out as an option for them as well.

While Kubiak may have struggled as a head coach, he is still considered to be a well respected offensive mind. We’ll have to see if the Dolphins line up an interview in the coming days.

Was listening to 790TheTicket online on the drive home.

Whats this gossipy shyt I hear about Dawn Aponte and Philbin plotting together to manipulate Ross? Supposedly Aponte wants to be above the new GM and that said GM would have no final say over personnel and basically have no power over the coach.

Sounds like typical media members talking shyt to fill in air time but just wondering.

Eagles QB coach Bill Lazor is in Miami today interviewing for the Dolphins OC job, per a league source.

Lazor's highest position in the NFL has been as a quarterbacks coach, having held that title with the Eagles for a year, with the Seattle Seahawks from 2008-2009, and the Washington Redskins from 2006-2007. As a college coach, Lazor has been an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for both Virginia (2010-2012) and Buffalo (2001-2002).
