Please provide some reasoning as to why you voted for who you voted for. It doesn't have to be a sound reason - you can vote for someone because you don't like their hair style. Just give us something here.

I voted for Cam Cameron.

A 1-15 record is pretty shitty by itself to begin with, but the way in which the team achieved a 1-15 mark is the reason for my vote. I like to say that it was a 0-14-1 record, because they were lucky ass bitches in Week 14 vs. Baltimore.

Of all of the head coaches, Cam Cameron was the most inept and incapable of handling the head coaching position, from dealing with players, to player / personnel moves (drafting Ted Ginn with the #9 pick and John Beck in round 2), to on-the-field decisions, to everything in between. He sucked, big time.

I voted for Don.  From the perspective of a Patriots fan he was quite problematic.

I voted for Cam because I didn't like his hairstyle.  Wait, that's unfair his hair wasn't that bad....but his coaching was.

I voted for Nick Satan because I hate his stupid face.

Seriously I do, but that's not the only reason.  He sold us out to coach at Alabama, then he talks shit about USF for no reason at all...wasn't even playing USF that year.  He said something like the only reason we had good talent was because our GPA requirements were so low, yet Alabama's was even lower.  Did I mention that I hate his stupid face?

I voted for Wanny.  I think it's the easy way out to vote for Cameron.  He was only here one season, and if you're only going by record, you're missing the bigger picture.  Wanny was a long term detriment to this team, that started with a great defense and a playoff team and slowly dwindled them into a putrid cellar-dweller, year after year.

I voted for Cam, not because it was the easy way out but because he was a bad head coach. The guy was only here one season for a reason.

I have the other Wannstedt vote up there, for reasons similar to Dave's. It just seemed like no matter how obviously awful Wanny was as a coach, Miami just kept bringing him back.

Before reading the comments I saw that someone had voted for Don and I was thinking who the fuck voted for Shula, they are off their rocker. I should have known it was you and the reason stated explains everything!!!!!  Grin


I almost voted for the Stache' but I had to swing in favor of Cameron because he really was a terrible head coach any way you look at it. Yeah they went 1-15 but he was in way over his head and it showed.

Yeah.  If someone seriously thinks Don is the worst Dolphin HC they are off their rocker.  Not only was he the best coach the Dolphins had he is one of the all time best coaches league wide.  I don't even know why he is in the list of options.

Wanny for costing some of most talented teams the opportunities to win Super Bowls.

cam cameron... not even close

wanny was bad at personnel way more than he was a bad coach. folks easily forget the fact that stache's first 4 years were 11-5, 11-5, 9-7, 10-6 before the collapse. he sucked at evaluating talent, and was an average head coach.

if this was worst gm in dolphins history, wanny/spielmen gets it hands down.

Another vote for Wannstedt.    

I see a clear difference between Dave and Cam.  Dave took a playoff team and over a number of years, ran it into the ground.  During his tenure, the team drafted poorly, let good talent leave and failed to develop the players that were on the roster.  He ran off good coaches like Mike Westhoff and replaced them with his cronies.  When Wannstedt was finally run out of town, Miami arguably had the least talented roster in the NFL.  

Cam took over a team that had overachieved under Saban, but was underpowered and demoralized.  He lost his starting qb and rb at the beginning of the season.  Cam failed to turn the team around, but he didn't start with much to begin with.  Cam was a bust to be sure, but I blame the guy that destroyed the team to begin with.

I couldn't disagree more.  Wannstedt destroyed both the Bears and the Dolphins.  He is the worst thing that ever happened to Miami.  I can forgive JJ for giving up on Miami, but I can never forgive him for pushing Wanny into the head coaching position.
