One thing I'm sure of........the constant turnover of coaches and QB's over the last 17 years has gotten us absolutely nowhere. It is very hard to be successful when you have immediate expectations in a reality that takes time to build.
Gase was excellent last year and got us a playoff berth when no of us expected anything even close. This year, not so much success and we are talking about blowing it up and starting all over again. I'm really glad most of your saying that don't have control of the team or are making these decisions. Look at Pittsburgh.....they have had what, 6 head coaches in their history? When they have bad years, they don't fire the coach, they support him and allow him to continue to build the culture and team the organization needs. New England, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Seattle.....they have stability and continuity. That is what the Dolphins need, not a continual churning of the staff and team.
We are long suffering Dolphin fans. I'm in my 50's and have followed this team since 1970. You don't have to tell me about how long it has been since we won a superbowl or how long we have sucked....I know first hand. But what I have also seen is that the impatience of ownership and fans that gives a coach a short leash to turn things around doesn't work. How many coaches have we had since Shula left? How many QB's since Dan left? Why would we want to continue that?
I at times question Gase and what he does....I think that is fair, but the guy has a winning record as a Dolphins HC and we want to get rid of him? Crazy.....
