Dolphins coach Adam Gase, who entered last season as the NFL's youngest head coach at 38 years old, proved his mettle by turning a 1-4 squad into a 10-6 playoff contender. And as a reward he could earn NFL Coach of the Year honors when the league has its annual awards show on Saturday.
Similarly, Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake, who overcame a season-ending Achilles injury in 2015 to record 11.5 sacks and make the Pro Bowl last season, could be named NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
Both Gase and Wake are believed to be among the top candidtaes for their respective awards at the NFL Honors Awards Show.
Gase, the former Denver and Chicago offensive coordinator, used a no-nonsense approach to turn the Dolphins into a playoff team and end a seven-year playoff drought. Perhaps his defining moment came midseason when he cut a trio of offensive linemen — Billy Turner, Dallas Thomas and Jamil Douglas — for their poor performances.
It was a move that got the attention of everyone on the roster. But Gase's success began before that startling shakeup.

Well deserving of both of them.
 
I think it's Gase or Quinn. And I believe Wake is the only choice for CPOTY. No one else had as bad an injury, at an advanced age and performed so well - he was the best player on our D. No one comes close on that list.

Bro Jordy Nelson will be a competitor to Wake.
 
Jordy Nelson is winning come back player of the year. He had like 1200 yards

And either Garrett or Del Rio are winning coach of the year. But if you extend it to postseason I think Dan Quinn should win

Bro I believe the voting is done prior to the off season.
 
Both deserving, but there are other options out there so I wouldn't be shocked to see our guys not get it, but it sure would be awesome and Wake deserves something damnit

I understand the Garrett pick.
Wake is mind boggling though. His age alone should have gotten him the award.
 
Screw the media. They are too busy riding the nuts of the Cowboys. Gase won 10 games and made the playoffs with holes everywhere, half the team injured, and the starting QB out for a month.

And Wake should have got it because he put on a great season after a potential career ending injury and at his age.
