The regular season is now over, I think this is a good time to reflect upon the job that Adam Gase has done in a few short months with a beaten up roster that even at full strength never really very good.
Around 12 months ago The Miami Dolphins hired Adam Gase (probably the hottest name in the coaching pool) in a move that was widely praised. However - some on FH were not impressed with this hire- here are some real quotes (I am not trying to point score so I will not name names):
We also had a rather infamous (and long running) thread that kicked off with this post:

The responses from Dolphin fans to this tweet also say a lot:

Anyway, I could post another 100 of these but you get the point, Gase did have supporters but many in the fanbase were not thrilled by this hire.
But here we are - on the verge of our first playoff game in almost a decade! With a winning season that nobody predicted even 5 games into the season.
Adam Gase did a remarkable job with a roster that even at full strength we can all admit badly lacked talent. We lost 3 of our very best players in Tannehill, Pouncey and Jones and Gase kept winning games. I know you can point to someone like Bowles who had a good first year as a HC then fell apart in year 2, but with Gase it isn't just the record, its how he achieved that record, how he kept winning games with a roster that kept getting weaker and weaker.
Look I never saw a Don Shula Dolphins team, I can't declare Gase "a young Shula" and I don't think anyone should make that prediction after one year. But I think the future is bright for the Dolphins, if ever get a front office who can build a talented roster then Adam Gase will win Super bowls in Miami. When he had a top O in Denver he didn't just do a good job, he set all time records, at the moment he is finding a way to make do with a bad roster in Miami - just imagine what he could do if we give him a good roster.
The future is bright for the Dolphins - somehow this cluster*** of a franchise found a way to hire Adam Gase.
Well done coach - that was a hell of a rookie season, dragging a 6 win team into the playoffs is something that win or lose v Pitt Dolphins fans should always look back on with pride.
I have a feeling the Steelers have no clue what offensive trickery awaits them next week.

All I hear about Gase are all the same lame excuses that have been thrown in the pot for Tannehill year after year. They're just shaken up, pulled at random, and explained in different terms to fit a head coach.
Gase just needs a real owner &/or GM (guess which idiots handpicked him). Gase just needs a solid offensive line. Gase just needs a real QB. Gase just needs a RB or a TE. Gase needs a defense. Gase needs his own players. These are not legitimate justifications, this is illogical.
Gase is supposed to be a professional and young, brilliant minded head coach with an eye for detail and high regard for strength application. What have we seen? Nothing
Show up on game days with a well-disciplined, well-coached, and well-prepared team. Yet, nothing.
Wow me. Impress me. Steal a win that wasn't supposed to be with these alleged game planning skills and using this roster to it's best possible ability. Still, nothing.
And that's exactly what Gase is - a nothing, and a nobody who will hopefully pass thru the doors of the Miami Garden's offices faster than the fans will be exiting their seats of Robbie/Ross stadium for a better day at the beach instead of watching this excuse train go down in flames.
