Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland Friday put an end to the ongoing speculation that former Kansas City GM and President Carl Peterson will be joining the Dolphins' front office anytime soon, stating that the team's front-office structure is set for the time being. "This is the way it's going to be: It's (owner) Stephen Ross, it's coach (Joe Philbin), and I," Ireland said in a meeting with reporters and editors from The Palm Beach Post at the team's training facility. Ireland said that while Peterson sat in on most of the interviews during the recent coaching search and is often consulted by Ross in his office in New York, his role has been and will continue to be strictly an advisory one. "It's been good for me, when Steve is up in New York and Carl is right down the hall from him, to get a football perspective, rather than a non-football perspective," Ireland said. "You can imagine a lot of people are in Steve's ear who don't have a football background. So for Carl to be up there, really, he's on my side. He sees it the way I see it." Peterson is an executive with FanVision, a hand-held device used in football stadiums and auto-racing venues and is one of Ross' many business ventures.
