What's The First Thing You Think Of When You Think Miami Dolphins?

[SF Dolphin Fan]

Is it Don Shula 20 plus years after his retirement? Dan Marino? The Perfect Season?

For me, as a lifetime fan beginning in 1970, it's still Don Shula. Wondering what the first thing the younger fans think of. Is it Marino, the uniforms, the stadium, your first game experience or something else?

Well Dan got me hooked, so...

Family, Mine and Great friends that have enjoyed being Dolphins fans our entire lives! I have lived in South Florida since I was 2. I am now 53. Life is awesome in So Florida, but when Football season starts...OMG! I was here through the Superbowl years, The Marino years, etc. I am ready for the new chapter...The end of the Brady years and back to the Fins being great again!!

I think of the iconic uniforms I watched growing up when we were the winningest pro franchise in the history of sports. We were capable of beating anyone at anytime.

This is the team I chose to support because they hired Adam Gase as head coach.

 

[Atila]

Well considering we've been the definition of the word "mediocre" for over a decade I would start there.

I first think legacy, then tradition, Shula.

Will always be Don Shula

I think of Dan and Don together. Although I really liked the years before Dan too. Don was a no nonsense coach who the players respected.
