DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Coach Adam Gase was at home late on Christmas night grading videotape of the Miami Dolphins’ most recent game when their first playoff berth since 2008 was secured.
Time to hit the pause button on the video, break out the eggnog and trade high-fives with the wife? Apparently not.
“I don’t think there was a high-five,” a stoic Gase said Monday.
The first-year coach is unwilling to celebrate when there are more games to be won, and when a postseason berth was part of the plan from the start.
“This is kind of what we expected,” Gase said.
