Does anyone know how we were ranked as an offense when Gailey was OC? I can't remember.
 
I thought someone had mentioned we were Top 10 in scoring both seasons, even with Fiedler, Lamar Smith, Gadsen, etc. at the skill positions?
 
NFL.com's stats don't go back to 2000, but in 2001, Miami was 8th in the league in terms of points scored... with a horrific offense led by one Jay Fiedler. It was also the last time we made the playoffs.

Hiring Gailey would definitely give our offense a boost. He's one of the only Dolphins coordinators who's proven he knows how to use Chambers, for example.

And honestly, if the three finalists are Jim Mora, Jr., Chan Gailey, and Brian Schottenheimer, then Gailey is the best of those three. Mora may be good, but he's a defensive specialist, and I think we've had enough of those for a while. Schottenheimer is an extremely creative offensive mind, but he probably doesn't have enough experience to be given both head coach and GM duties. Gailey's been here before, he's got NFL head coaching experience, and he knows how to run an offense.

Unless the reports about the finalists are wrong, and unless Wayne throws us a curveball, it looks like Chan Gailey is the next head coach of your Miami Dolphins.
 
I'm not sure about Gailey as a head coach, but I liked him as an offensive coordinator. Considering the talent he had to work with, he got the most out of it. I mean, Jay Fiedler threw for over 3,000 yards in 2001, and Lamar Smith ran for 1,000 yards in 2000 (and almost got there in 2001).
 
Disgusting.

That's the only word that comes to mind..........

Why? Would the Gailey haters please finally explain why they don't want him as head coach? What exactly is it about the man that doesn't appeal to you?
 
Gailey was the Georgia Tech coach maybe he would talk our gm? whom ever that may be Mueller or whoever but, maybe Gailey would want to trade up and get Calvin Johnson???

Its simple.....you cant please everybody. They think Gailey is either boring, old, runs the ball too much, to much of a redneck......whatever!

The simple truth is If we get a coach that runs the ball people who want to air it out start complaining. (how many times did we abandon the run this year WHEN IT WAS WORKING!)

He knows how to run an offense, we need an offense. We have a good defense. We have a good Defensive coach.

I personally think we get Cameron or Shotty, but I trust in WH.
