When the Miami Dolphins kick-off this weekend they will be doing so against another winless team but a team with a new head coach. The Redskins fired their coach on Monday.
Miami is no stranger to interim head coaches. They themselves have had three interim HC’s in their history. The first came in 2004 when Dave Wannstedt stepped down during the team’s bye week and Jim Bates took over. Bates went three and four down the stretch.
After making the mistake of extending the late Tony Sparano, Stephen Ross fired him a year later and replaced him with the highly respected Todd Bowles.
