Here’s the Dolphins legend's thoughts on Sirius Radio after this latest one with the Dolphins hiring of Adam Gase:
“Am I optimistic that Adam Gase and his staff will get this done? Sure,'' he said. "Am I optimistic that Ryan Tannehill can be developed and turn into a quarterback you can consistently win with? Sure. I don’t need a five-year window. You start winning now and make the playoffs, maybe in 2016. Maybe not make it to the Super Bowl. Maybe you win a playoff game you lose in the first round. The following year you’re in the playoffs again. So there’s your pattern of success. You’re building on something now …
“I think you’ll be able to quickly tell with the talent level on this team and with the additions they’ll make in the offseason, you’ll be able to tell very quickly what direction this coaching staff has this team going in. And I think it will be a very good and positive one.
“You saw some of the splash Dan Campbell was able to make over the course of a bye week. I think they practiced one day on that bye week and then practiced three days the following week in preparation for the first game under Dan Campbell, the interim coach. You’re going to have a whole off-season with Adam Gase, in Tannehill’s ear, a new staff.
Sure hope so. In show me mode.
