You really think Loomis is making personnel decisions?


This. Loomis makes the $$s work. Payton made the personnel decisions until Ireland came along.

you can fire Loomis now and promote Ireland.


Go google "Jeff Ireland sucks" and just read some of the links. BTW, I really enjoyed the Eminem parody (NSFW though).

quote:

A guy calling himself "Sean" explained to Reed's listeners that he approached Ireland at the Club Level at Sun Life Stadium during halftime on Sunday and began to express his displeasure to Ireland about his being a sh*^&y general manager.

According to Sean, he expressed to Ireland how he's been a season ticket holder for many years, cited a few of Ireland's bad roster moves, and, in an admittedly moment of fan frustration, suggested Ireland fire himself.

At this Ireland, patted Sean on the back, reportedly said, "Good suggestion," turned, walked away and said, "As*&%^e."

After Sean relayed his story, other callers chimed in corroborating Sean's story. One caller even said Ireland was followed by a few drunken fans who began to chant "Fireland!" before he threatened to have them thrown out of the stadium. That particular part of the story can't be verified. In fact, none of it can, really. But several callers telling Reed this story and then Sean calling in and giving details of the account should be proof enough.

Exactly. Ireland just pulled in our best draft since 06 in his first year with us. Don't change a thing he's doing.


after 10 games?

Sedrick Ellis and Kenny vaccaro looked like good picks after their rookie years

The talent we drafted on D are still part of the worst D in the league. They've flashed but les reserve judgement maybe

If you draft well you don't need a cap specialist.

As is, any GM can work the cap. That is the easy part of the job. Loomis isn't some cap genius; he's only gotten that rep because that is all he did.

People act like converting salary into signing bonuses is splitting atoms. Loomis is a hack and always has been one, dating back to our last coaching staff

I don't know if Ireland is the answer, but I believe Loomis is the problem.

Anyone saying that because Ireland failed at Miami he'll fail at any future location as the GM is an idiot

Fair point. But just about ever single pick in tis draft is having an immediate starting impact outside of Grayson who's now the backup and Peat who's already started a game and been in plenty outside of injury. We haven't even seen what Tull and Pj Williams will contribute.
