When Adam Gase runs on to the field this afternoon he will become the third Miami Dolphins head coach in team history to start his career against the Seattle Seahawks. Previously, Dave Wannstedt and Jim Bates both coached their first game for the Dolphins against the Seahawks.
On September 3rd, 2000, Dave Wannstedt coached his first game as the Dolphins head coach. The visiting Seahawks would leave Miami with a loss as the Dolphins won 23-0.
