Not So Fast

From Dan Le Batard, "For Dolphins, Change Not Always For Better," at miamiherald.com

"Parcells is more credible and famous than the guy he just fired. Better at discovering talent? That one remains to be seen. The same year Mueller found Hall of Famer Walter Jones and Shawn Springs, Parcells took James Farrior. So Parcells got one Pro Bowl appearance from his pick while Mueller got nine. Mueller found Ahman Green in the third round in 1998. He's pretty good at this. But neither Mueller nor Parcells is smarter than everyone else, even though Parcells seems to think he is and the fan base applauds because it so desperately wants him to be.

Firing Mueller and maybe Cameron will be celebrated even though they weren't given a fair or even reasonable amount of time.

But try to remember this as the building falls with an explosion and a mushroom cloud of dust and noise.

A wrecking ball offers the promise of something new and hopeful.

But by itself, it doesn't fix a thing."
