The Joe Rose Show

On Wednesday’s show, the Miami Hurricanes continue to impress with thrilling wins in both basketball and baseball, as Joe highlights the university president’s push to elevate football, hoops, and baseball across the department. The conversation quickly turns to the Miami Dolphins, with analysis of the difficult but necessary departures of Bradley Chubb and Tyreek Hill, the roster cleanout just beginning, and the importance of young players like Jonah Savaiinaea and Chop Robinson taking the next step. NFL insider Omar Kelly joins to question some of the Dolphins’ offseason moves, including James Daniels’ release, the organization’s QB approach, and whether Minkah Fitzpatrick might seek a trade, while Hollywood’s Headlines covers Tiger Woods, Jaden Rashada, and some truly bizarre legal news. Later, Joe and the crew break down draft prospects Rueben Bain and Francis Mauigoa, explore how QB success is tied to talent and coaching, and discuss the patience required as the Dolphins’ new regime works to rebuild a team that hasn’t seen a playoff win in 25 years.

The Miami Hurricanes stay hot with big wins from both basketball and baseball, as Joe praises the university president for making football, basketball, and baseball top priorities. From there, the focus shifts to a Dolphins franchise officially turning the page — moving on from Bradley Chubb and Tyreek Hill, with Joe explaining the price tags were simply too high and this is just the beginning of a roster cleanout. Joe says it was time for a change at the top, preaches patience during what looks like a full rebuild, and breaks down potential landing spots for Tua Tagovailoa. The guys debate whether players like Minkah Fitzpatrick might seek a trade, stress that first-round picks like Jonah Savaiinaea and Chop Robinson must take major steps forward, and acknowledge Miami is in cap trouble as new leadership attempts to clean up the mess and build the right way — through the draft.

The Miami Hurricanes survive a scare against Virginia Tech, winning it at the free throw line — ironic for a team that’s struggled there all season — but the bigger concern remains their inconsistent three-point shooting, which could doom them in March with one cold night. The guys also shut down the idea of Tua Tagovailoa landing in Minnesota, explaining why that fit makes little sense. NFL insider Omar Kelly joins to question the Dolphins’ decision to release James Daniels, revisit the costly contract of Bradley Chubb, and discuss whether Minkah Fitzpatrick wants to stick around for a rebuild. Omar also urges caution when it comes to Malik Willis, pointing to past free-agent QB swings that failed, before Hollywood’s Headlines dives into Tiger Woods keeping hope alive for The Masters, Jaden Rashada settling his situation with the University of Florida, and some bizarre legal drama involving Buffalo Wild Wings and an iguana pizza story out of Palm Beach.

Hour 3 includes conversation about if there’s any chance the Raiders would move off the number one pick and NOT draft Fernando Mendoza. Then Pete Prisco joins to discuss all the biggest storylines going on in the NFL, including all the biggest decisions the Dolphins must make this offseason, The hour wraps with a conversation about Tony Clark’s MLB scandal, with reports that he was having an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law. Plus, Joe continues to have a close eye on the “Green Bay guys” as they try to turn the Dolphins organization around.

The hour kicks off with a breakdown of the Miami Hurricanes’ top NFL draft prospects, Rueben Bain and Francis Mauigoa, both expected in the top ten, and whether one could slip to the Dolphins at pick 11. The guys highlight how strong playoff performances have already given NFL teams plenty of tape, eliminating the need for extra workouts or combines. The discussion then shifts to quarterbacks, using Cam Ward’s struggles in Tennessee to show how much QB success depends on surrounding talent and coaching, and debating which NFL situations give quarterbacks the best chance to thrive. Attention turns to Miami, where Joe stresses that the Dolphins’ new GM and head coach face a huge rebuild and urges fans to be patient despite 25 years without playoff wins, praising the continuity in letting the GM pick his own coach.
