No. 3: Adam Gase, Miami Dolphins

In my eyes, the Miami Dolphins have always been the staple of mediocrity. Head coach Adam Gase was supposed to change that.

And he did in his debut season as head coach, taking the team to the playoffs behind quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

However, in 2017, things fell back to reality for Gase’s squad, pulling out a meager six wins in a weak AFC East division.

The 10 losses the Dolphins suffered were not comprised mostly of close ones, too. The average point differential in Miami’s losses was a staggering 15.8 points, meaning that whenever the Dolphins lost, they lost by an average of that amount.

Miami residents do not want to see any more of these blowouts and will start to go to the beach instead of watching football games if Gase keeps this up with his team. He will have to keep his team relevant if he wants to hold onto his job.
