No.

Getting 5 wins in the face of all that happened in just your second year, is a damn fine job.

 

5 or fewer wins after starting 4-2, meaning Gase would be 1-9 or 0-10 to end the season, is where I'd start to think Gase is not the right coach. I'm really hesitant on firing a coach so early because I want to be sure he's bad, so in general I'm for at least a 3 year experiment. Furthermore, there's no escaping the fact that Gase did really well in 2016. But ending 1-9 or 0-10 after starting 4-2? Yeah that would probably do it for me.

 

No chance. You can look at the record all you want...but show me a team that had to deal with all the distractions this team has had to deal with and done better? Hell...we went through ALL THAT and are lumped in with the majority of teams in the AFC. None of those other teams dealt with that kinda crap...and here we have the same records.

Take a look at the KC Chiefs...they have lost 4 of their last 5...one of those to the New York Giants, would anyone be thinking of firing Andy Reid?

Also, look at the dramatic improvement of our offense since we traded Ajayi, a move most of you screamed about. 32nd ranked offense with...8th ranked since. Sounds like a coach who knows what hes doing to me.

 

It is very fair to criticize Gase/Burke for their odd in game coaching and apparent denial that they do not need to take a look in the mirror. However, nobody will be nor should be fired from the coaching staff.

However you take a look at these BAD contracts we are stuck with, and you start to take a hard look at the GM.

 

I think he gets 2 more years regardless of what happens this year and next.Ross is clueless.
Chip Kelley went 10-6 2 seasons in a row and then gave him gm responsibilities .
He quickly dismantled the team and went 6-9 the next year and lurie being the smart owner he fired him before the last game.
Now look where the Eagles are and thanks to our idiot of a gm with that stupid *** trade they now have wentz and a future.
I liked gas coming into the season but I was blinded by the 10-6 season and looking back it was all smoke and mirrors.

 

Really hesitant, except in Gase’s case.

 

I keep saying replace with who and also the injury to Tannehill will allow him to stay.

 

really? he is to blame for this roster. He has say on final 53.

 

From the 90 given to him.

Are you saying there were better players in the 37 he should of kept that would have made a difference?

 

There’s absolutely no reason to fire a good, young coach at this point. Give the guy time to build the team and develop his system with his players. Let’s not ignore the fact that he’s essentially coaching the team Philbin and Hickey built.

We found our Mike Tomlin; just need to be patient now. There’s nobody available that has more upside long term than Adam Gase.

 

Wow!I don't recall anybody on here asking for or demanding 19-0.We want to see progress after going 10-6 but we keep getting the same old **** year after year called false hope.How about this team actually get to the playoffs and win a ****ing game.Whats it been 16 or 17 years?
This team will not win until ross hires the right people and so far he has been a complete failure!

 

But you keep starting poisonous threads even though very few here agree with your opinion. Did we really need a poll to know that you, Landry and a few brand new accounts here would vote to fire Gase and Tannenbaum? I thought that would be evident in the 50 other threads the two of you started on the exact same topic.

 

Can't vote because the only Tannenbaum box also means Gase has to go with him.

 

Not quite right.

Gase is directly responsible for who stays on the roster but not who joins the team in the first place. I am sure there is some co-ordination between the coach and the front office during the draft and signing FA's, but his major responsibility is who remains on the team as opposed to who starts out on the team.

 

Hell no! This isn't on Adam Gase. We lost Ryan Tannehill, we lost Ted Larsen, McMillan, Lippett. We tried to put band aides on positions like QB and TE. Those decisions.....I put on Gase, but what else was he supposed to do?
Now.. some changes need to be made, that is for sure, but not Gase. Start by moving on from some of the dead weight players we have, let's get Tannehill healthy, upgrade the offensive line (again). We had some horrible luck to start the season. Anyone who follows this team knew in their hearts that this season was screwed when we lost Tannehill. The hurricane, and other injuries just cemented our status. None of those things are the fault of Gase. I think he gets one more season, but I'd we do decide to gamble on Tannehill, then Gase' and his Faye is tied directly to Ryan Tannehill.

 

Gase is our coach. He will be here a long time. We made moves that didn't work out this year. We had a number of bull**** go against us. Dems the breaks.

I see the right mentality from Gase. I see the right gameplanning and game time decisions. I see good clock management and he doesn't coach scared. He goes for it on 4th, he's gutsy, doesn't settle for field goals. He expects more from his offense and he'd be the first to tell you it's not working the way it should be.

 

lol.

 

Have fun watching your 5 win teams. I’ll demand more from an organization that has been a complete joke for 15 years.

 

Also, nobody said anything about going 19-0. All we ask is that you don’t go on national television and embarrass yourselves three weeks in a row followed by a loss against one of the worst teams in the league. But apparently that’s asking for too much.

 

Yeah, you're amazing. Let me know how you "demanding more" works out.

If more people thought like you, we'd still be throwing poop and living in trees.

That's all you want? What a loser mentality......

 

I don't fire Gase and I don't think Gase is in trouble. But let's be frank, some of the personnel issues we have are on him.

 

Have you checked the ratings for the Dolphins? Bring a microscope. I’m not the only one fed up with this garbage.

 

Then quit. Go away. Stop crying and whining and crying and whining. Find something else to do, the adults are having a discussion....

 

There’s nothing to discuss.

 

This was my response in another fire Gase thread that got put out of bounds, I'll just use it again.

After the Fail forward fast, Fist pump your sister, Philbert the Queasy years:

Gase feels like Sunshine on my bare buttocks while I'm frolicking in tropical waters. No Island girls rolling me joints on their thighs and bringing me fruity rum cocktails yet, but I think he may get me there. In the mean time, it's sunny and I'm not wearing pants so I'm feeling pretty good.

 

no I'm saying that he needed (or didn't have the ability) to inform the FO to get better players to fill the 53. So in other words, he was happy with the 53 he would have had. Again, look at his takes on the OL. You mean to tell me, that before FA, he was ok with this line? If you are in charge of the 53, you want a bigger pool of talent t choose from.

In my opinion, Gase wanted to make chicken salad out of chicken ****. It would have cemented his legend. You see the small success they had last year, prevented his ego (and he does have an ego) from having to beg for help. I wouldn't have judged him different. It would have been refreshing if he was just tired of the inconsistency of Pouncey's health and did something about it. Or nothing wrong with admitting that Tunsil is a better guard for now and maybe doing something at LT. Here is the best.....you had issues with Ajayi, from a locker room standpoint and versatility standpoint. Why don't you go ask or draft a damn running back then?

 

1. The oline has not been the problem this year.
2. I don't see an ego. I've seen a coach who consistently takes responsibility and then makes hard decisions.
3. No coach will just come out and say the things you want him too about Pouncey or Tunsil. There is whole part of being a coach that you aren't familar with or allowing for with those comments.
4. You cannot replace everyone on the roster you think is terrible in an offseason, particularly on a team that had the problems this one does.

 

I agree 100%. Even more, he put himself in this adversity. He failed to grt better linemen and had no plan for qb, thinking RT would stay healthy. He also thought another pass rusher and Julius Thomas were fixes too. And if he doesnt have that say, then speak up

 

I stopped reading after you said the oline wasnt a problem.

 

Do you "fire" your car because it won't start? Does it not start and you say:
"Wow. Just wow. That's staggering that you think that not starting would actually be not throw away worthy but GOOD. What would it have to do to be thrown away? B@tch slap the owners wife with the door? Run over nuns in the stands at half time? Run over his family?

Meanwhile, maybe the car doesn't start because it's out of gas. Or you forgot the key. Or the battery is dead because you left the lights on.

What you don't understand is that it would take a once in a generation event to overcome what the team has gone through and have a winning record. Most things need context before they're fully understood.....even 5 win seasons.

 

I agree with much of what you said. Why would Gase's fate be directly tied to Tannehill, the Qb he inherited, especially when he doesn't control the roster?

 

Stop.

I get that I keep you up nights with rage and anger, but I'm not being contrarian.

You have people, longtime posters, telling you to actually form real opinions and back them up with information so we can have meaningful dialogue. Instead every post, every thread, every sentence you guys provide is whiny hot takes fed by emotional instability. You've been warned about it by mods. You've even been banned over it because you literally lost your **** when you threatened to leave the site because the Dolphins were playing bad (like a child) and I said, "well bye."

I disagree with you. I'm allowed to and you're allowed to disagree with me. But, unlike you, when i disagree I actually provide logic or numbers or evidence, you provide what comes across like that drunk ******* at the bar who screams over everyone else in rage at the refs, TV, coaches, players, announcers, etc.

That's not what this site ever was, in fact, it was created specifically to NOT be that kind of place...so by you being the embodiment of "that guy" and trying to post your hot take BS daily...you are the one being contrarian.

 

No that would be the FO.

 

What if your car has failed you because you kept forgetting to put gas in it 11 times? Does that prove the car is bad?
