I heard someone on the radio today say that hiring him is like shitting your pants and then changing your shirt.

We are going to be running a similar offense as he just promoted Bobby Slowik, our passing game coordinator, to Offensive Coordinator. He comes from the Shanahan tree as well. He also had success with rookie CJ Stroud in Texas as his OC. Philly also interviewed him for OC. I wonder if we will be retaining Butch Barry as well?

The interview with Joe Rose sounded pretty promising, although he was saying really just what needed to be said...

There will be accountability withing the team, or players will be punished, and if that doesn't work, shown the door, no matter who they are. He has a plan with the GM to build through the draft, because there's realistically no other way given our cap situation. There's a definite plan as far as recruiting the coaches and staff we need to move forward to achieve a team culture (that's the opposite to the toxic mess ours seems to regularly end up as). All up, he sounds positive, but realizes there's a lot of work to do.

I forgot he was available. 

I don't think that's necessarily the case.  It's entirely possible the hires were made such that 1) the Dolphins first hired one of the best up and coming executives available at GM, and 2) he in turn hired one of the coordinators widely thought to be ready for a head coaching position, and one with whom he already has a good working relationship, given the importance that relationship (GM and head coach) will have with the Dolphins.

Do you really think that will happen with Ross signing the checks?   

Again, this thread wasn't created by a zoomer complaining about their lot in life.  So your displeasure with whiners seems misdirected.

No, it was created about zoomers complaining by someone that's not me. And I'm here discussing it, just like you are. So what's your issue? Seems like deflection to me LOL

This comment would be better suited to a thread titled "Selfish boomers have ruined our society" or "Why is everything so unaffordable for younger generations?"

But instead, it's posted to a thread created for the purpose of whining about Gen Z.

Not really. I didn't create this thread and was responding specifically to the quote:

Being a grumpy old person must be a miserable fucking existence.

Also, let's keep in mind that this whole discussion would largely not exist if a certain percentage of grumpy young adults didn't feel the need to offload their failures at life onto another group of people that have nothing to do with their life choices. I'm not a boomer, I'm not miserable, and my life is just fine. I just don't buy into the victim mentality so prevalent in todays society. Most of the US citizens complaining and blaming other people live a far better life than the majority of people in human history and a large portion of the current global population. They just don't have what they "think" they deserve. So I guess keep crying if a miserable fucking existence is your thing.

Well to be fair, I think you have it backwards. Listening to grumpy younger people complain about their miserable existence is exhausting. Maybe they should keep their personal problems to themselves if they don't want advice.

Very similar to Paul Hester (Crowded House) in that regard.

That was one that hit me really hard back in 2005 when he tragically took his life.

I thought I posted it here, but it must have been another forum here in Australia, so I guess not.

He was the heart of Crowded House (as much as Neil Finn was the brain and sword, and Nick Seymore the bassist, album artist, and lesser comedy relief). When he quit, Crowded House stopped. When he died, I thought it finished right there and then. I haven't bought an album or gone to a concert since he died, it's not the same.

I find a bit of irony in all of this... years ago when Midnight Oil played one of their farewell gigs here before Peter Garrett went full time into politics, in a rare event Rob Hirst was too ill to be able to do the gig... and they got Paul Hester to fill in. They had a spinning wheel of random songs for the night, and when one came up they asked if he knew it? He winged it anyway, and was still brilliant.
