When Nick Saban arrived in Miami, he left his fans at (LSU) feeling much the same way Miami fans are feeling now! Upon Nicks arrival fans and the press alike glorified his arrival, methods, no nonsense approach and His Past success! After 2 years without much positive going on, under the harsh spotlight of the press and fans , he wilted, crumbled, folded, tucked his tail between his legs and skulked out of town.
Clearly he wanted to go back to a easier place to make a fortune , teaching young men how to play a game! But the manner he went about it was dishonest , decietfull, lacking class to say the least. The Stench of his departure has an odor quite foul, and fecal in nature! He did a Jimmy Johnson and bailed on the city, and the franchise, millons of fans worldwide. Maybe they dont have full attendence at the stadium in Miami as often as they should! Never the less Miami has one of the most popular teams recognized world wide with legions of rabid fans all over this planet!!
First the press and fans Hounded Don Shula, out of his job, which he left quietly and gracefully with dignity for the benefit of the team and all concerned. Then Comes Double (J) . Jimmy Johnson record as coach was basically Identical to Coach Shula's in wins loss Statistics! Jimmy was spoiled , and when he couldnt duplicate the succes at Dallas and Miami, he abandoned the team for Fox Sports! Look at some of Number 1 picks.John Avery, Cecil the diesel, he had some winners and losers for sure! But the Avery pick was a loser!
Enter Wannstedt, well like by the team players, owner ect, made some goofs in the draft , really didnt improve the team, kind of kept us steady at the bottom of the pack. But he never ripped the team, made excuses, whined, or complained while being ripped in the press! He was loyal to his players, and they were loyal to him! After being Hounded by the press he resigned for the good of the team city , ect!! He never whined, backstabbed the fans players, would have could have kind of thing. He was classy enough to keep his mouth shut, and let history judge his time and Miami , effort, though not as successful as anyone would have liked, clearly different than Saban and Johnsons hasty departure from the team.
One can only hope and pray that our new coach will be succesfull, and have the class and guts to do what the others could not!! :dolphins: :dolphins:
