Name the Worst Dolphins Offensive Coordinator

I know that Dan Henning created the wildcat, but his last season with the Dolphins was absolutely awful. He's a very worthy nomination and he's going to be pretty hard to beat.

Henning didn't create the wildcat nor did Sparano. Came from the QB coach who previously coached the wildcat at Arkansas while having Felix Jones, Peyton Hillis, and Darren McFadden. Those 3 were definitely fun to watch back then!
 
We have 6 games with fewer than 20 rushes. It's difficult for me to ignore that, in a category like this. I'm not convinced anyone in franchise history would have senselessly ran the ball so seldom in so many tight games, when you don't have a great quarterback.

Mularkey had the oddest reliance on trick plays that I remember. Wasn't he the guy who brainstormed the spinning halfback pass by Ronnie Brown, on a 2 point attempt or similarly important play? I try to forget the specifics.

Yep, that was Mularkey, One of our losses to the Texans, we had just pulled to within 2 late in the game and he has Ronnie Brown throw the 2 point conversion.
another failed trick play. we lost that game 17-15
 
Gary Stevens was pretty lousy, too. Norv, Linehan and Gailey are the only decent ones I can recall.

Dan Henning did not create the wildcat. David Lee brought it from the university of Arkansas. The wildcat is only a small number of plays from the playbook of the double wing offense. If either of these gentlemen knew any history of their profession they could have expanded the wildcat into a full scale system. They didn't and were too lazy to bother learning it so we ended up calling the same five plays over and over that the rest of the league learned how to stop.
 
I'm going with Cam Cameron...because he was supposed to be the HC
