sounds like he would be the ideal west coast offense fullback?

Short passing plays - Remember this :
Wannstedt's role is undefined beyond providing guidance and assistance to both Gailey and defensive coordinator George Edwards.
Wannstedt has been such a big fan of Gailey, he enjoys recalling the game plan Gailey devised in Miami's 2001 season-opening 31-21 win at Tennessee. Gailey was so fearful of the Titans aggressive defense that he came up with a run-first, short-pass approach to keep the pressure off his quarterback. And that included running the ball in third-and-long situations.
The Dolphins managed only 11 first downs, but didn't give up a sack. Lamar Smith scored twice, on a 4-yard run and a 65-yard reception off a screen.
"Chan was smart. He knew that our offensive line was not capable of blocking these guys in long-yardage situations. And he was going to call plays that gave the team the best chance," Wannstedt said. "I think that's a great story of summing up someone who's a great coach."
Both our games with the Bills are going be interesting and not as easy some people think they will be. Sparano and Wanny are cut from the same cloth philosophically. What can Daboll do differently that Gailey and Wanny have not seen?
