5 changes the Dolphins must make ahead of 2018

There were reports that over the off-season Adam Gase and Mike Tannenbaum didn’t see eye to eye. It was never anything close the love triangle of Jeff Ireland, Joe Philbin, and Dawn Aponte but even a small bit of friction can be hard to overcome.

Adam Gase has proved nothing as a head coach. He took a team that was in a major funk and drove them to the playoffs last year but teams are only as good as they are now. Gase however needs to have more input into this roster. He is a good coach that could lose his job if things continue down this path. Yet if he isn’t getting his type of players then what is the point in having him.

Giving Gase the power and control over the roster, completely, would allow Stephen Ross a better chance to evaluate his coach. Tannenbaum has been doing this job a long time both here and in New York and he doesn’t have a great track record at either stop. So why leave the future of the franchise in his hands? If Gase can’t get his own people and turn this franchise into a winner, then out goes Adam Gase and Tannenbaum steps back into that role.

What’s funny is that Chris Grier is the quiet general manager who no one really knows what his job description and responsibilities are. There are simply too many cooks in the kitchen and making one take a step outside might be a good opportunity for the team and prop Gase up for better chance at success.
