Omar Kelly: Jeff Ireland to return in 2013

[Nublar7]

No disrespect intended, but you are wasted your time, energy and breathe debating Jeff Ireland's job status. He's here in 2013.

Whether Ireland deserves to keep his job or not will always be a debate, but I think Omar is spot on with this. As Skape said in the other thread, whether or not you like it Ireland seems to have gotten a clean slate this past offseason. The team he is building for Philbin involves different schemes and types of players then it did under Sparano. I am not defending Ireland or saying he should be back, but all signs put to him coming back. I know Ross said he expected playoffs this season but he isn't dumb when he sees a team in major transition with a rookie head coach and rookie starting quarterback. If you are rooting for losses ( you should never root against your team) the final four weeks because you think it will get Ireland fired, don't waste your time. Ireland will most likely be back regardless of the outcome of the final four weeks. Once Philbin was hired, Ireland likely got at least two years to build the new team.

Omar said this? HA! Career death knell.

The headline is misleading. It's just speculation from Omar the Idiot.

Hayden Fox in 3.....2......1.....

Wouldn't surprise me if Ross kept him

Misleading title. He is not reporting it. Nothing official, just Omar reading tea leaves.

[JCane]

Omar is correct on all accounts.

This is why I never debate the Ireland stuff. He will be here next season.

The headline is misleading. It's just speculation from Omar the Idiot.

How is the title misleading? Omar said he would be back and I am just relaying the information. Don't shoot the messenger.

It's his opinion, he has no inside information.

Yup.

IMO Skape was right when he said that a new era began when Tanny & Philbin arrived and that Ireland is a part of that era. Next season is the second year of that era and I think there is plenty of reason to be optimistic. Philbin is going to have just as much say, if not more than Ireland in the direction this team goes this off season.
