Interesting perspective.
Ireland was a "Parcells guy" but seems to have transcended that regime with regard to the Dolphins.

And what's wrong with this type of set up? Seems to work well in Pittsburgh. IMO no coach should ever have total control over personnel. Coaching a team is hard enough. Ireland hasn't done a poor job. They have some good pieces to build with there.
