Miami Dolphins Year In Review: January

It was not a very good start for the Miami Dolphins in 2014 but it was a needed one. As we look back month to month in our 2014 year in review we will see that a lot of things to start the year didn’t go well. In January the Miami Dolphins made the decision to change directions and the effects of those changes would have an impact on the 2014 season which was still eight months away.

As the 2013 season came to a close many fans and members of the media were not sure what direction the Dolphins were going in. Fast forward to the end of the 2014 season and little has changed while a lot of changes have been made. Over the course of the last 12 months the Miami Dolphins have made personnel swaps, management swaps, and so much more all in the name of putting a winning product on the field. Here is a look at how things got started way back in January of 2014.
