awesome. gase and tannehill should have no problem hanging 30 on the jags today.
I think you have to ask yourself
I agree with this.
We are a strong team at home.....which is something that has developed over the last few years. The lack of success on the road is the problem.
There needs to be changes, and if Gase stays, I think that should include a new DC as I am disgusted by this defense and I think their should be a legit OC that handles the play calling duties. The player depth issue is on every team....but more so in Miami. Draft some beef for the O-line and some head hunters on the D-line and our young linebackers will look a heck of a lot better.
Edit: We need to feature a TE that can play on the offensive side of the ball. I like what I see in Oleary, would like to see him get more playing time.

I am on the fence about Gase more than I thought I would be. I am sick of the coaching carousel in Miami and believe we will never see real success until we have stability. Gase is young and needs time to grow and learn. My question is what has he learned so far, and what is he changing to improve?
I like the never quit attitude in the team and I believe the team is playing above it’s talent level. These are excellent things that should not be dismissed lightly. At the same time, his play calling, situational awareness and defense are abysmal. Preparation on the road seems weak.
It’s a conundrum. If you fire Gase and don’t completely start fresh, there is no point. If they do clean house, Ross is still making the management decisions, and that is the real problem. You are just as likely to have a worse staff than a better one.
If the Dolphins want to win, they need to be physical, and that starts on the line of scrimmage. Both lines need massive work. Drafting has improved, but we still need to be more consistent. The QB position is also a puzzle, as RT plays very well with time, but if the OL isn’t improved, a QB that has better mobility will be a priority. The problem is those types of QB’s usually trade passing for mobility and the offense eventually becomes one dimensional.
Should the Dolphins fire Gase? I am leaning toward no, but this is not an easy decision.

It's looking like Gase was more hype than substance. The 'hot' names don't always work out ... just ask anyone from Belichick's coaching tree (Mangenius ... classic). This team needs proven and hard nosed, stat.
I'd also be cool with someone like Campbell, granted his coordinators are Xs and Os masters, given his (perceived?) lack of expertise. His players would run through a wall for him ... which is how you become a physical football team.
I don't see this as a don't throw the baby out with the bathwater situation concerning Gase ... he's been very much part of the problem. Plus how much involvement do you want him to have with picking a new QB and that possible marriage going forward? Dicey.

80% of Gase's problem is hired an idiot as OC
Gase is the OC and I guess he figured Patton Oswalt couldn't do too much damage if he wasn't calling plays.
Once again I'll say I think many fans overestimate the talent on this team.
Does anyone recall the Vegas line for wins to start the season? It's been surpassed *with* the inordinate amount of injuries to key players. That ought to tell you something.
Does Gase need to step up his coaching? Yes, of course he does. Nobody argues that.
If he wants to stay Miami's head ball coach, he can start by replacing 'the almost as stubborn as Gase' Burke and his awful, awful wide 9.
He can follow that up by installing an offensive coordinator as well, thereby replacing himself and his adjutant sidekick.

Lol. Well played
I don't believe our "talent level" is as bad as you are portraying. Are we elite across the board? No, but nobody is. Have injuries taken a heavy toll? Absolutely. Far more than most teams.
That is no excuse for what is going on here. Of course we have injuries. That will happen when you sign older players with a history of injury. That will happen when your receivers are way undersized as a unit. That's management's (including Gase).
He has no discernable defensive philosophy of Hus own. Really? Is that what you want in a HC? When the whole defense is confused, and looks in disarray game in and game out, that is not a talent issue. Are all our guys dumb and slow? Gotta lay that on coaching.
I don't like loosing, but, to me, there isn't much difference between 8-8 or 4-12. Neither is acceptable when it goes on for decades.
I guess it could be worse. We could be Cleveland.
But I digress..... Tell me again what Gase does well.

On rotoworld it claims he's on the verge of getting fired.... good!
I would take McCarthy in a second.
He can take his polaroids with him.
He CHOSE to sign and start Cutler and Osweiler so if they started 21 games for him that's 100% on Gase.
