At one time the Dolphins were the laughing stock, then in came Don Shula. Then the Bills were the laughing stock, then came Marv Levy. And the Patriots have often been the laughing stock, then came Belichick.
It's not just our division either. The Colts (after they left.our division) were laughing stocks because of Irsay, until Peyton. The Bucks were forever until Chucky won them a Super Bowl. The Bengals were for sooooo long between the Boomer Esiason / Icky Woods team and the arrival of Marvin Lewis. The 49'ers were for a long time before Bill Walsh.
But that's just it. Get a top coach and string together a bunch of winning seasons and that whole thing changes.
Gase is laying the foundation. If he is a top coach, we will start winning. Remember, even Jimmy Johnson sucked his first year, but when he turned that thing around in Dallas, he built a juggernaut through the the draft (aided greatly by the Herschel Walker trade).
So yeah, we haven't had many winning seasons in recent memory, so we are going to get picked on. But if we flip that and start winning season after season that stuff fixes itself.
