When the Miami Dolphins take the field against the New England Patriots on Sept. 11, Mike McDaniel will be looking to accomplish something that hasn't been done since 2005: Win his Dolphins debut.

Dolphins head coaches are on a five-game losing streak in their Miami debut since Nick Saban won in 2005.

Overall, Dolphins head coach have a 3-7 record in their debut, 5-8 if we include interim head coaches Jim Bates, Todd Bowles and Dan Campbell.

Each coach is unto themselves. It's apophenic to link the other coaches together to determine a trend. Because they all coached in the same stadium players wearing a similar uniform? That's literally the definition of apophenia. "The tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things".

It's like saying red cars are faster or yellow is my lucky color. We're already up for the season. Manufacturing "trends" for conversation's sake is silly.

The difference this year is that the old coach was fired because of a rift with management as opposed to the team being a complete disaster.

Not complete, but I would say the offensive coaching and Skill player assemblage as a whole, was a disaster, and there seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel.

The only light was the firing of Flores.

Agreed. It's useless information but for history purposes.

Agreed. The Dolphins desperately needed an overhaul on offense and a head coach to maximize Tua's talent. I was naively focusing on last year's 9-8 record and head-to-head sweep over the Patriots.

Wait a minute. So you are telling me that the outcome of Sunday's game does not depend on where I sit on my couch?

Right? I think there's such a deep desire to be involved on some subatomic level. That's why everyone has their rally cap move, their lucky jersey, etc. It's a fun part of fandom but those who act like it could mean a single thing are bananas.

The "butterfly effect" at the quantum level may be "real", but the scope those effects, and their potential level of impact, are impossible to predict. Someone may actually be unintentionally hurting the Dolphin's chances with their actions, and it could also be variable week to week, or even on small time frames, such as a Planck time unit. Free will is an illusion..........

Bananas you say? (picture Mach2 scoffing).
