Gase showed me a lot this off season. He just cut whoever wasn't on board. It was simple yet quite comprehensive across the board from star players to coaches. He now has a roster full of guys he wanted on this team, and make no mistake, this is a football team. This is no longer a roster of me first, totally stat conscious players who are way overpaid and don't mind if they commit 2 or 3 penalties a game, pre-snap whatever. Gase realized that he can't win with this group and went about replacing problem areas with problem solvers. We now have players who have earned Super Bowl rings, National Championships etc. We also added a bunch of top end speed and leadership qualities. Gase is calling the shots and Big Mike has no choice but to do what Gase wants. If the team is a big success then they all look good but, and this is a big but, as opposed to a big butt, if the team tanks and fails in a big way then Tannenbaum can dodge direct blame. No matter what he will still remain a big butt in the eyes of Dolphin fans everywhere.
So long as coaches like Hue Jackson and Marvin Lewis remain employed, it's hard for me to perceive that short of 1 Hue Jackson season, Gase will be shown the door. Ross has a personal stake considering that his "secret scout" helped him identify Gase as the most viable candidate whom he then tasked Tannenbaum to deliver.
After 2016 in total and particularly his last 8 games, the only thing Tannehill has to prove is that he can stay healthy, mobile and continue to be effective rolling out. It's the OL that needs to step up; ditto the OLC.

Would you mind explaining the secret scout thing further? I don’t recall hearing about this during the pursuit of Gase. It makes me wonder if this same secret scout provided insight into the attempted Harbaugh recruitment

Apalled and aghast
I pretty much agree, but I really wish he didn't insist on calling the plays, He is the HC.

I am not so sure that Gase has the it-factor as a head coach as another poster suggested because there were just too many things going on with this football team that were clearly coaching issues but if Gase excels at one thing, it’s calling plays. I’d even say that he is the best play caller in the league.

Didn't know his circumstances just knew he was a hell of a coach... I'm not against retaining Gase but this season will tell us alot. Just pondering different options at the head coach position
you all know that Bilichek, whom i'm sure everyone would love to have him as coach started his head coaching career pretty similar to Gases. now i'm not saying Gase will be the next Bilichek (hoping he is), but changing HC every 2-3 years is not good. i can't help but sense good vibes for this year, last year not so much with Cutlet as QB (yikes) i think Gase is the real deal and needs to fix and purge many years of bad deals $$ and problem players. right now all the moves the fins have made look and seem very smart. Landry, Pouncy, Suh are big names who are very good players but we haven't won anything with them. the fins are filling up with fast young and much cheaper $$ FOOTBALL players.
i truly believe there will be many bright years coming to us fin fans very soon.

At this point I am not all in on Gase but I sure hope he is the coach in years to come because that would imply we are winning!
Pretty much sums up my thoughts at this time but Gase brought in some highly touted assistant coaches which has me more optimistic so maybe he figured it out. I am ready for some one since Shula to step up thats for sure.
