New Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase and his team were trending on Twitter Tuesday morning (July 26) with a Miami Herlad story on the disturbing trend that has existed much longer than an hour time frame on Twitter, that being the coaching carousel.
Armando Salguero of the Herald suggests that there are signs Gase will help deliver success to this embattled franchise, writing he is “different than the last few guys I have covered”, making reference to the three other men who have coached the team over the past decade.
He’s different than the past few guys I’ve covered. He’s just the right kind of bright and brash. He’s smart, but he’s not an egghead. He’s got an edge and fire to him, but he’s aware a team cannot survive merely on emotion and motivation over 16 games.
Gase wants to teach. He wants players to embrace the process of improving, rather than thinking about scores and results. And he wants to lead.
Gase has shown me already he is a leader.
At the very least, oddsmakers believe these Dolphins will be a .500 team in 2016 with the total wins number set at 7 -130. They are, however, listed with the longest odds to win their respective division at 8-1.
Adam Gase is listed with 50-1 odds of being named “Coach of the Year”.
Salguero offered this final summation:
What we can expect that even in defeat this team will show urgency. It won’t seem overmatched or outwitted. If it takes on the personality of its coach, this team will play smart and fight.
And if that happens, Adam Gase should be worth keeping around for a long while because the winning will eventually come.
