I know hindsight is 20/20, but is everyone aware how bad Wanstedt was for Miami? In 4 years as head coach and GM he drafted 2 players that are still Miami Dolphins. Carey and Bell are the only 2 players he drafted that are still with the team. You can also say Rickey Williams came from him as he traded draft picks for him. It would be very hard to find another coach this century that had a worse record in the draft.

Then if you look at the players we missed it gets even worse. I will never forget 2001 waiting for 3 hours with one eye on the TV and the other on Finheaven so excited Brees was going to fall to us late in round 1, but instead we heard Jamar Fletcher's name called instead. The few people on this website that did not want Brees were pleading for Reggie Wayne. The following year everyone here wanted Anquan Bolden with Miami's first pick in the 2nd round, but we passed on him to get Eddie Moore. Can you imagine Brees throwing to Bolden in a Miami uniform, or Henne throwing to Wayne and Bolden?:boohoo:
 
because this hasn't been brought up a million times already...
 
Sometimes, it takes some stepping back. Let's assume we had Wannefail, and we were in the week we were playing the Saints. We would not have been in the game AT ALL, same with the Colts, and Pats, and probably any other game. We should be happy with what we have in place right now. I am. There's some rough bumps, but hey, we're not going to have a Hall of Fame coach in just two seasons.
 
I may be alone in this but I can honestly say that I respect wanny a whole lot more than saban or cam.

same here the guy was a winner every year besides 04. i like him still i hope he beats charlie weis this week. a little payback i guess.
 
wanny wasn't a bad head coach..to conservative..he was just awful when it came to personnel decisions..i blame jimmy johnson and wayne huizenga for that..j.j got wanny the hc job and huizenga gave him control over personnel decisions..

This is true. Wanny was actually a players coach. The team really stepped up and played for him. As a GM he was the absolute worst obviously by all the busted draft picks.

JJ ruined this team. Taking away Marino's ability to audible. That was just an awful coaching decision. He punished Dan because he wanted to sling it. :crazy:

When JJ drafted John Avery in the first round I fell out of my chair. :lol:
 
Wanny was a nice guy, but when you have the fantastic four on D you've got to win at least one ring.
