Bigger question is why would he stay?

He is head scout and JJ is the GM and iron fisted man entrenched and not leaving anytime soon and then he has his family all lined up.

He can go to Miami - wink wink as GM, And continue to work with a great football mind and talent evaluator like Parcells knowing he can get the keys in a few years when Parcells decides to take a year off..... He is what 66/67?

And he inherits a 1 win team and nothing but upside.

Or stay with a 12-2 team that with JJ and Wade may be on the wrong side of that big wave they are riding?

I'm Ireland I take the promotion and get out of Dodge at Zenith....

:rolleyes: He'd have less say in personel decisions in Miami than he would here.

Oh, and Ricky Santos sucks.

Givin Parcells track record of leaving within a few years would it be wise on Ireland's part to leave?.

Parcells also know Mueller pretty well, so it would be a tough cut.

Not very likely. He's a Texas boy. And he was here before Parcells got here, so it's not like he's a "Parcells guy." He has as much control here as he would have under Parcells -- probably much more, actually.

On the flipside, who wants to take over a 1 win team and not be able to make the decisions? At least here he's still Jones' most trusted source whereas at best he'll be third in line.

And if the money is the same, why move? Especially considering that he's a Texas native. In some ways he's in the same type of position as Pioli is in NE, another guy who has rebuffed plenty of offers around the league.

I'm not saying that he won't go, but there's reason for him to stay.

But a better question is he GM material?

GMs do a ton more than scout talent -- and he's likely had no experience in contracts, etc.

I predict BP will fire Cam Cameron and hire Tony Sparano as his head coach, and take possibly take Zim from Atlanta as his DC, as ATL will be hiring a new head coach that will want his own staff.

I'm hearing Idiot Dolphin fans saying that parcells will bring in Ireland as the G.M. because their close on other message boards. I'd doubt Jerry would allow this to happen, so i'm not even worried.

How would a Dolphin fan know if Tuna and Ireland are close or not?

Sounds like wishful thinking, nothing more.:rolleyes:

He is basically in charge of the draft here. Even Jerry said that this past draft was "scout driven" and "no pet cats" were allowed like when Tuna was here.

Ireland is head of scouting, so he basically puts the board together for Jerry. Hence, he is basically in charge of the draft. He goes to Miami and Tuna is in charge of the draft and will take "pet cats" just like he did here.

Pretty simple to see Ireland would have alot more say in personnel here than in Miami.

:welcome: to the forum. No way Parcells would make him a GM. They are dreaming. As you said, "idiot Dolphin fans." Sums it up nicely.

As GM he will have more practical control then as Chief of Scouting. Even under BP. And since it is known BP will only be there a few years he will have it all to himself then.

I believe Ireland will stay in texas with the Cowboys.....he is from Abilene......and his family are Cowboy fans....now, it might cost Mr. Jones some more cash
