I was hoping...

I was hoping we would build on how far Flores got us and that Tyreek would bump us up, get us over the hump. That didn't happen. This is a hell of a rookie coach season from McDaniel though. Given how Grier is still in control I tend to see it as year 4 of course, in terms of accountability we're in year 4. Is a rookie coach having a pretty good rookie season enough find to keep the project going? We're a huge failure for a year 4 team but we're a pretty big success for a year 1 team. Does trying to keep McD for his promise buy Grier more time? I've always supported Grier but he about has had his time on the ride and we might want to try some one else new. What do y'all think?

Eh, Shula didn't have a great record after the first year either, with less talent of course. Mike is not looking good right now but next year will be the year to see if he's got it or not. The secondary and offensive line players hurt along with Tua's issues really hampered this team. Oh, well it was fun while it lasted.

Don't compare Shula with Jimmy neutron that is just pure nonsense.

Not comparing at all just saying no one should judge a coach after the first year. He may end up terrible in the end like all the rest but maybe not. So called quirkiness will only get you so far.

Ummm......what are you talking about? the Dolphins were 3-10-1 in 1969. In 1970, Shulas first year as the head coach, they went 10-4 and made the playoffs. The next year, they went to the super bowl

I was going to say...I seemingly remember attending lots of victories in 1970, with the entire city suddenly mesmerized by the pro football team. The playoff loss at Oakland in the mud was very competitive. Everyone exited that season certain that there was far more to come.

Your correct. My mistake. Can't kill a coach after the first year after a promising start.

Shula was 10-4 his first year and made the playoffs. Year 2 he had us in the SB

It's a clown show starting at the top.
Prior to the start of the season we had 2 1st round picks.
Ross dumbest smart guy who means well but clueless.
Grier has had time draft capital and money and has built a team at key positions with injury prone players.
He went all in at the trade deadline with Chubb and the return so far isn't good.

The jury is still out on coach McD. The team had a lot of injuries that didn't help the defensive or offensive efforts. Coach made a few blunders himself and hopefully he'll learn going forward. btw, tell Hackett and Cameron that you shouldn't judge a coach in his first year. Miami and Denver both did and with good reason.
