People that are on my shit list...

1) Ricky because he left the team high and dry. I wasn't expecting much from the Phins this year but to see them just bottom out so completely can only point to one major thing and that's Ricky shafting the team immediately before training camp. Something like that would shake ANY team and a subpar team like the Phins got shaken to their core and obviously aren't going to be able to recover quickly if at all from something like that. Had he quit in February things would have been hard but it would have been possible to mitigate SOME of the damage.

2) Wanstedt. The guy is a moron. I cringed when I learned he was taking over for Jimmy and I cringed all the way until this week when he quit. He gets out coached in every big game. He can't prep a team for the long haul, and he doesn't manage personel well enough to deal with glaring holes on the team at the skill positions and the Offensive line. In short he's subpar at best.

3) The QB corps. Everybody knew it would be hard for Miami to replace a veritable icon like Marino. It's like that in every town that has a superb QB it takes a while to find somebody to replace him. San Fran hasn't really found a GREAT QB since Young who luckily took over for Montana. Garcia is ok at best. I see Dallas suffer every year from the lack of a QB since Troy left. And when Farve hangs it up in Green Bay they will suck ass for a bit as well. But it's been long enough that Miami SHOULD have found something to pin their hopes on. As it stands we have likely another 3-4 years before we get a QB worthy of holding Marino's jock strap much less be on par with him.

I just hope they figure something out before they get caught in that spiral of mediocrity that so many teams get stuck in for decades at a time.

The sad thing is one of the best defensive units ever to play the game has been in Miami for the last 3-4 years and they won't get one bit of recognition because the offense has been so shitty for so long. I can only hope the Defense is able to stay at the high level it's at long enough that the offense can be rebuilt so we can contend again.
