Team: Miami Dolphins
Sport: Pro Football (NFL)
Stadium: Pro Players Stadium
Head Coach: Dave Wannstedt
Super Bowls: 1973 Super Bowl VII, 1974 Super
Bowl VIII
Background: The off-season has already been one wild
ride in Miami. After going 19-13 over the past two seasons
with no playoff appearances, changes were inevitable to try
and get the team over the hump. After beginning the off-season
by signing coach Dave Wannstedt to a contract extension, Miami
surprised the football world by bringing future Hall of Famer
Dan Marino back to the team as senior vice president of football
operations. Just as surprisingly, Marino stepped down from
his post 22 days after his hiring.
With their attempt to add to the front office unsuccessful,
the Dolphins turned their attention to the field and completed
a deal bringing Eagles backup quarterback A.J. Feeley to Miami.
Feeley will compete for the starting job with incumbent Jay
Fiedler, who has a 35-17 record in four seasons as a starter.
