Nick "Satan's" revisionist thinking in an article by DolphinsWire below. Interestingly enough, it was all not on the Dolphins' FO, but on "Satan" himself. It does show more poor work by our HC and the FO at the time:

Nearly two decades later, Saban says that his time with the Dolphins was a "no-win situation" and he never should've taken the job in the first place.

"We were $17 million over the cap, which was a lot back in those days, this is 20 years ago. We had the oldest team in the league, they're 4-12, they got no quarterback, and I'm thinking 'I'm gonna make it right,'" Saban said on The Pat McAfee Show on Friday. "We had a winning season the first year, but we couldn't get it turned around.

"There were so many obstacles. And no draft picks because they gave them all away for Ricky Williams. ... I knew it [going in], I just had a bad case of the dumbass, that's all. Wayne Huizenga was a great owner and I thought this was a great organization and I thought we could get it fixed. We got it moving in the right direction, but not being able to overcome the quarterback thing was the issue."
Miami had its opportunities to set its path in the right direction, Saban and co. just made the wrong decisions.

The coach could've done himself a huge favor by taking Aaron Rodgers in the 2005 NFL draft. But he was reportedly smitten with Alex Smith instead and opted to take running back Ronnie Brown when the San Francisco 49ers nabbed his top choice at No. 1 overall.

A year later, Miami traded second- and fifth-round picks to acquire veteran quarterbacks Daunte Culpepper and Joey Harrington, respectively. Neither managed to throw more touchdowns than interceptions with the Dolphins.

Saban may have had "a bad case of the dumbass" to think he'd have all the answers to the Dolphins' issues. But it's not all the franchise's fault either.
 
Players never took to him. I remember the interview but forgot the player that said he was always mad 😠 .
 
Who cares, that was 20 years ago. So over that time
 
Actually, it is the franchise's fault. We have been inept for 20+ years.
 
A lot has changed over the years........a few GM's plus a few HC's and a ton of players have come and gone.....the one thing that has stayed the same is the Dolphins not having won a playoff game.........and that's not changing this year either

The post is saying "same sh*t, different day". Somehow I think that is relevant to this franchise not having won a playoff game since George Bush was President....Jeeez!

Sorry man, we’re all civilians on this board here… we don’t have your insight, and sometimes start threads that you irritate you… I’m sure there is a collective effort to ensure all posts peak your interest…
