Can the Miami Dolphins stay Perfectly Pathetic?
You have to admit, that's catchy, even for somebody who is unfortunate enough to live in Miami.
The Fish are 0-12 this 2007-08 NFL football season. Yes, the same franchise that recorded the only undefeated season in the NFL back in 1972, is yet to taste a win this year. And while the New England Patriots continue their bid to match that undefeated mark in 1972, Miami is in danger of finishing the season looking like retards.
Don Shula, the coach who engineered that undefeated run in '72, is dumbfounded on whether the Miami Dolphins should keep current head coach Cam Cameron or not. But for what it's worth, he does have some advice for the guy.
''Cam has to entrust what he wants to do offensively with someone else,''' Don Shula told emcee Jim Mandich and an audience at the Miami Dolphins Touchdown Club luncheon last Tuesday.
''He's a great offensive coach and great play-caller.''
But, Don Shula said, ''In your preparation, if you're a play-caller, you have to be thinking all offense to get ready for what's going to happen. If you're the head coach, you have to be the head coach of the entire team, not just head coach of the offense. I hope he goes in that direction to entrust some of the play-calling to whoever he believes it should be.''
Don Shula said if he were coaching a team with this kind of record, ''I'd be raising some hell'' and making changes. But ironically, Miami Dolphins players have said Cam Cameron doesn't yell at them, even with the kind of shit they're in right now.
Don Shula said, ''The worst thing is to try to be somebody other than who you are. You've got to have leadership from within, guys that just won't stand for losing. The coaches have got to give the leadership they're required to give.''
Coach, at this point, you can't expect anything like that from Miami.
