Wanny has to win this poll. As a diehard finfan all my life (well, as far as I can remember), I have bit my lip and supported whoever was on this team for as long as I could. Coach or player. This year started with last years ending for changes in this assessment. Starting with Mark Royals. He WAS a big part of the losses we are all too familiar with. He is gone now and the replacement has come in and done very well. Now it's time to point a ton of the blame on Mr. D.W. To have this much talent on one team is very rare. You can make an arguement in team sports that it's not always the "BIG names win championships" deal (see Yanks vs. Marlins 2003). However, at least they (Yanks--hate 'em BTW) had a motivating force leading them to the WS. The "COACH" is responsible to motivate his team to WIN no matter what. He has gotten by over the last few years, not as a result of his coaching abilities, but the players playing abilities. They have no confidence in DW other than "he's one heck of a nice fella". And his sackless approach to a game plan has not only blown up in his face, but those who have backed him up for the past few years. I mentioned in a thread after the Pats game that had the coaches swapped sides and Bellichick was the Fins coach, the game would have probably been a lopsided blow-out. That is the definition of a great coach. Stare adversity in the face and kick it's a$$. Has anyone noticed what BP has done in Dallas. Holy crap. Even Marvin Lewis has his team believing. That's what it takes. Not just confidence. But belief. Those players believe in their leader. Unfortunatley for us fans the Dolphins players don't believe in ours. Buh-Bye DW. Thanks for wasting all of this talent. Like they say, "when you got it, you got it and when you don't, you don't". He obviously don't.
Go Dolphins!!!
