I am not defending the job Wannstedt did because I never wanted him to be the coach of the Dolphins. Yet stating he ran the team JJ built into the ground is a bit of hyperbole. Johnson left after the Dolphins had been annihilated by the Jacksonville Jaguars 62-7 in what also ended up being Dan Marino’s last NFL game.screw wanny. He took a team jj built and ran it into the ground. He was a clown
He actually didn’t say anything negative in regards to Miami fans. He just didn’t include us in the fans that he thinks are great fans and therefore some posters seem to infer this means he thinks Miami fans are not as great a fan base as the fans of the teams he mentioned.He is right. Fin fans are pretty terrible.
Drafting Jamar Fletcher no 1 when we had Madison and Surtain. Taking Eddie Moore w our 1st pick in that years draft. He inherited and excellent team and slowly ruined it.I'll never forgive him for wasting that ridiculous roster on D... And Ricky.
The team Wanny inherited wasn’t excellent. It hadn’t won a division since 1994, and hadn’t won in the divisional round since 1992. The early 2000 Dolphins have an unjustified reputation for excellence. They only look better because the franchise has gotten far worse since then.Drafting Jamar Fletcher no 1 when we had Madison and Surtain. Taking Eddie Moore w our 1st pick in that years draft.

Sunday afternoon NATIONAL fox football pregame show had wanny. He said Buffalo gets no respect as a NY team compared to the jets and Giants, yet they are great with a terrific fan base. He then goes on about how he has coached in great fan bases such as Dallas, Chicago, and Pittsburg , those are towns that reminds him of great fans like Buffalo .
so he left us out, the team with his longest pro tenure as head coach . Not saying I’m shocked we got the beaches etc, but at that moment he decided to leave us out of his example lol
They both did. Wanny passed on him in the draft for jamar fletcher, a corner who was an absolute bust . All the while we ALREADY HAD MADISON and SERTAIN.That was Saban
Fair enough. It was a good roster though. Good enough that it had made the playoffs 3 years in a row prior to the changeover and had a lot of good players. The base of good players started to decay as poor drafting didn’t enhance the roster.The team Wanny inherited wasn’t excellent.

Yeah this was a huge head-scratcher at the time even. It was as odd as taking Tedd Ginn and his whole family.They both did. Wanny passed on him in the draft for jamar fletcher, a corner who was an absolute bust . All the while we ALREADY HAD MADISON and SERTAIN.
so he left us out,
