Cam Cameron gets a pass from me because of the injuries the team suffered during his tenure.  He was putting 2nd and 3rd string talent on the field every Sunday, and still the Dolphins lost 8 games by 3 points or less.

Wannstedt was the worst, IMO, not because he's a shitty coach (note - present tense), but because his drafting and inability to evaluate talent is the reason why we're so shitty to this day.  Eddie Moore, Jamar Fletcher, Wade Smith.  Wow.  What a bunch of years of wasted picks.  Those picks could have been Drew Brees, Anquan Boldin, etc.  Imagine the difference...

Eddie moore was the 49th pick of the draft, wade smith was the 78th pick of the draft.  He drafted donald lee and yeremiah bell that season too with the 156 and 213 pick.

^^ so its OK to throw away your 2nd and 3rd rounders as long as you find a gem in the 6th?

Sorry, don't agree with that.  Especially when you don't have 1st rounders and there's other obvious talent on the board.

Lets look at nick sabans drafts.  number 2 overall pick and he gets a dancing queen running back who has had 1 1000 yard season out of 6. jason allen, derek hagan, channing crowder who sucks, and matt roth who never contributed to the dolphins.

other obvious talent?  I think you might be confused on how the draft works.

You must be right.  I'm confused because I don't agree with you.

I voted Jimmy Johnson,He brought Wanny in, knew Marino was at the end of his career (didn't really address it,in hindsight)...I quit,no I don't,I quit...Even though He brought us Zach,Jason Taylor,Sam Madison, and Patrick Surtain. He still left us a lot of crap too...I think he changed the mentality of the fans too...Wannstedt personified and Exploited the one player mentality into the ground IMO...

^ Give me a break. Seriously, you're going to blame Wanny for "forcing" Ricky to quit and leave in 2004?

How about not smoking dope and not testing positive for an NFL drug-test for the nth time? Maybe that had something to do with it.

I will.  Wanny's philosophy was run Ricky left, run Ricky right, run Ricky up the middle, then punt.  He was coaching like he had the 2000 Ravens defense and Emmit Smith, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin when he clearly didn't.

If I had to carry the ball 750 times in two seasons and my body was all beat up because my coach was overworking me, I'd be smoking weed as well.  It's a great painkiller.

Wannstedt blundered his way to that inflated record he has because of the team he inherited.  He set us back this entire decade.  Worst coach in Dolphins history.

Cam Cameron. 

Reasons:

Lack of longevity (1 Season)

W-L record 1-15.  That's tough to do even with a bad football team.

Otherwise it has to go to George Wilson.  4 years and nothing to show for it, Shula shows up in 1970 and never looks back.

If I wasn't so biased about Saban (hating him because of other reasons not attributed to MIA), I'd vote for Cam.  Drafting Ginn and going 1-15 is almost as bad as you can get.
