I see many people asking/speaking about why the Dolphins underperform, I find myself confused as to why it is difficult to understand.
Any organization requires discipline, order and a vision. This all originates from the management, not the EMPLOYEES. Unfortunately the Dolphin hierarchy is not built for one person to have authority and thus responsibility for the three requirements.
However, true respect is earned, people respect Shula, why, well Shula. Belichick, of course, rings on fingers. The way a coach earns respect is to instill "discipline, order and vision", instill, is not force. It makes me laugh to see Corporate Psychopathic Managers complaining about not being able to find or keep quality people, when they are the ones driving the best away.
True Respect is what makes a player play through injury, for the team and their coach. Discipline and order do not do this. So the question is what in Adam Gases recent history, since RT going down, would indicate he is worthy of anyone's respect. This is truly a case of the Fans and Players knowing better than the coach. Jay Cutler, really, how can anyone respect that, are you serious, this one move has made the Dolphins a laughing stock, and who's decision was it, Adam Gases. Sheesh, when this signing was made my Nephew calls me up and say's, "Hey Tio, JAY CUTLER, hahahahahahaha, REALLY?????"
NFL players are not that rare, it is a fallacy that there are too few, look at the patriots. Are they superior athletes? NO they are not, they however all conform to a single vision "DO YOUR JOB" as defined by the management. Don't do it, expect corrective actions to be taken, no if, no butts.
NFL players are not that rare???? Evidently they are, well with Gase picking up Kiki Dee, off of two knee injuries, oh and did I mention Jay Cutler. Or might it be that the Patriots Coach and FO can evaluate talent better than the godlike Gase????
Example, do you think SHULA gave a damn what any single player thought? Johnson? Parcells? Walsh? Gibbs? Lombardi? Noll? Bellichek?. This is the ugly truth of humanity and why true leadership is a lonely place. Until this person is empowered to do what is needed, with a true turnaround schedule, then the cancer that destroys most of the nfl teams will continue.
