The 2008 Miami Dolphins season is the organization's 39th season in the National Football League and 43rd overall.[1] It is their first season with Bill Parcells as Executive Vice President of Football Operations and Jeff Ireland as General Manager.[2][3] It is their first NFL season after head coach Cam Cameron was fired and Tony Sparano replaced him.[4][5]

With a league-worst 1-15 record in 2007,[6] the Dolphins held the first pick in the 2008 NFL Draft and selected Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long. The offseason also saw the departure of two Pro Bowlers and long-time Dolphins with the release of linebacker Zach Thomas and trade of defensive end Jason Taylor.

The Dolphins have already won nine more games than they did in 2007, and are first in the AFC East. They will have to beat the New York Jets in Week 17 to clinch their division. Otherwise, it may not be possible for the Dolphins to clinch a playoff berth, as the Indianapolis Colts have already locked up one of the wildcard spots and the Baltimore Ravens currently have the other one.

Offseason personnel moves

Front office

On December 27, Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga hired former NFL head coach and ESPN analyst Bill Parcells as Executive Vice President of Football Operations[2]. Parcells signed a four-year deal with the Dolphins less than a day after turning down a similar offer from the Atlanta Falcons[7].

Just a few days after Parcells' hiring, three men were dismissed from the Dolphins' front office[8]. The most notable of which was general manager Randy Mueller, who was hired by the team in 2005[9]. Also dismissed were Assistant Director of Player Personnel Mike Baugh and College Scouting Coordinator Rick Thompson[8].

Three days after Mueller's dismissal, Parcells hired Jeff Ireland as the team's new general manager[3]. Ireland had worked for the Dallas Cowboys the past seven years, including the last three as Vice President of College and Pro Scouting[3]. Ireland had worked with Parcells previously, when the latter was head coach of the Cowboys from 2003 to 2006[3]. Although Ireland was officially given final say on personnel decisions, it was speculated that Parcells was actually in control, and did not hold the title of General Manager so that the team may hire a front office executive from another team.[10]

On January 15, the Dolphins reeled in another former Cowboys executive when they hired Brian Gaine as Assistant Director of Player Personnel.[11] Gaine had previously spent the past three seasons as the Cowboys' Assistant Director of Pro Scouting, working with both Parcells and Ireland during that time.[11]

Following the 2008 NFL Draft, it was reported on May 1 that the Dolphins had fired scouts Ellis Rainsberger, Jack Glowik and Roger Pollard.[12] The team's vice president of media relations, Harvey Greene, said Rainsberger had retired and did not comment on the other two reported firings.[12]

Coaches

Head coach

Just one day after hiring of Jeff Ireland as general manager, the Dolphins fired head coach Cam Cameron after just one season on the job[4]. Cameron led the Dolphins to an NFL worst 1–15 record in 2007, which was also the worst in franchise history[6][13]. Additionally, all but two members of the coaching staff were dismissed[4]. The only coaches retained were assistant special teams coach Steve Hoffman and linebackers coach George Edwards[4]. Both Hoffman and Edwards were coaches for the Dallas Cowboys during Ireland's tenure with the team[14][15][3].

A search for Cameron's replacement began almost immediately after his firing[16]. Various candidates were rumored, many of which had some connection to Parcells and/or Ireland[17]. Rumored candidates included Cleveland Browns head coach Romeo Crennel, Dallas Cowboys assistant Tony Sparano, Cowboys secondary coach Todd Bowles, Arizona Cardinals running backs coach Maurice Carthon and Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley[17]. Additionally, Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan and Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier were contacted[18][19]. The Washington Post suggested that Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams could be a candidate as well.[20]

The first interview scheduled was Sparano, who met with the Dolphins on Saturday, January 11[21]. Sparano had previously met with the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens regarding their head coaching vacancies.[22] On January 6, it was reported that Sparano would be offered the Dolphins' head coaching job, and that he would accept.[22] The Dolphins denied the report later that day, saying it was an initial interview only and that the team had interviews with others planned over the next few days.[23] However, the addition of quarterbacks coach David Lee, a former Cowboys assistant, fueled speculation that Sparano was indeed going to the next head coach of the Miami Dolphins.[24][25]

The team then proceeded to interview Frazier, Ryan and Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz.[26][27] After the Dallas Cowboys lost to the New York Giants in the divisional round of the 2007 NFL playoffs on January 13,[28] speculation grew that Sparano's hiring was imminent.[29][30] On January 16, the Dolphins ended their search by naming Sparano the eighth head coach in franchise history.[5] He received a four-year contract believed to be worth between $2.5 and $2.7 million per season.[31]

Assistants

Parcells and Ireland made their first coaching staff addition on January 7, luring Ole Miss offensive coordinator David Lee to be quarterbacks coach.[24] Lee, who briefly followed Houston Nutt to Ole Miss after serving as his offensive coordinator at Arkansas in 2007, worked with Parcells and Ireland as the Cowboys' quarterbacks coach from 2003 to 2006.[24] The addition fueled speculation that Sparano was indeed going to the next head coach of the Miami Dolphins.[24][25]

Two days after hiring Sparano as their head coach, the Dolphins made their second assistance coach hiring. On January 18, Mike Maser was named the team's new offensive line coach. Maser had previously served in the same capacity for the Carolina Panthers from 2003 to 2006, and worked with Sparano when both were assistants for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2002.

Over the next week, the Dolphins filled various positions on Sparano's staff. On January 22, former Kansas City Chiefs running backs coach James Saxon was hired in the same capacity for the Dolphins.[32] Also hired that day was former Atlanta Falcons strength and conditioning coach Evan Marcus, who took the same job with Miami.[32]

On January 23, the Dolphins added four more assistant coaches to their staff when they named Paul Pasqualoni as their defensive coordinator, Todd Bowles as assistant head coach/secondary, Kacy Rodgers as defensive line coach and David Corrao as defensive quality control coach.[33] Pasqualoni, Bowles and Rodgers all came from the Dallas Cowboys' staff, while Corrao was most recently linebackers coach at the University of Mississippi.[33]

A day later, former UCLA head coach Karl Dorrell was named the team's new wide receivers coach.[34] Five more coaches were added to the staff on January 28 when the Dolphins named John Bonamego as their special teams coordinator, George DeLeone as their tight ends coach, David Puloka as assistant strength and conditioning coach, Jim Reid as outside linebackers coach and Steve Bush as offensive quality control coach.[35]

The Dolphins made their final addition to the staff on February 4, hiring Dan Henning as offensive coordinator.[36] Henning, who had most recently served as offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers from 2002 to 2006, had previous worked for the Dolphins under Don Shula as quarterbacks and wide receivers coach in 1979-1980.[36]

Final staff

When the Dolphins' coaching staff was completed with the hiring of offensive coordinator Dan Henning on February 14, only two of the 17 assistant coaches under Sparano (Edwards and Hoffman) were holdovers from the previous season's staff.[37] Three of the new coaches (Bowles,Pasqualoni and Rodgers) had experience with Parcells, Ireland and Sparano in Dallas.[37] The completed staff was as follows:

2008 NFL Draft

With a league-worst 1-15 record in 2007,[6] the Dolphins secured the first overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft on April 26.[81] In the weeks leading up to the draft, the Dolphins began contract negotiations with Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long.[82] On April 14, Peter King of Sports Illustrated reported that the Dolphins had given Long a deadline to accept their contract offer (believed to be worth less than 2007 No. 1 pick JaMarcus Russell received from the Oakland Raiders); otherwise, they would move on to another prospect.[83] On April 22, the Dolphins officially signed Long to a five-year, $57.75 million contract with $30 million guaranteed, assuring they would take him first overall.[84]

Including Long, the Dolphins selected the following nine players in the 2008 NFL Draft:[85]

Notes

Draft day trades

On the first day of the draft, the Dolphins traded second-year running back Lorenzo Booker to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a fourth-round pick (115th overall) in the 2008 NFL Draft.[88]

On the second day of the draft, the Dolphins acquired the Detroit Lions' third-round pick (66th overall) as well as their sixth-round pick (176th overall) in exchange for the Dolphins' third-round pick (64th overall).[89] The Lions used the pick to select running back Kevin Smith,[89] while the Dolphins took defensive end Kendall Langford with the third-round pick and running back Jalen Parmele with the sixth-rounder.[90]

Later on Day 2, the Dolphins traded the fourth-round pick acquired from the Eagles, along with a seventh-round pick (208th overall), to the Chicago Bears in exchange for the 110th overall selection.[90] The Dolphins used this pick to select guard Shawn Murphy.[90] The 115th overall pick was eventually dealt by the Bears the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who used it to select defensive tackle Dre Moore.[90] The Bears used the seventh-round pick to select defensive end Ervin Baldwin.[90]

Draft pick signings

Prior to the draft, the Dolphins signed first overall pick Jake Long to a five-year, $57.75 million contract with $30 million guaranteed.[84] On May 19, the Dolphins signed sixth-rounders Jalen Parmele and Lex Hilliard and seventh-rounder Lionel Dotson to contacts.[65] On May 23, sixth-round pick Donald Thomas was signed to a multi-year deal.[91] On July 11, the Dolphins signed third-round pick Kendall Langford to a multi-year deal.

Preseason recap

After losing their preseason opener to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,[101] the Dolphins won their final three contests to finish the preseason 3–1.[101]

Quarterback Chad Pennington was the Dolphins' most efficient passer of the preseason, leading the team in completion percentage (72.0) and passer rating (104.8).[102] Rookie quarterback Chad Henne led the team in passing yards (351) but also in interceptions (2) while matching Pennington in passing touchdowns (1).[102]

Running backs Ricky Williams and Jalen Parmele tied for the team lead in rushing yards at 123.[102] Williams, Parmele and Ronnie Brown were the only Dolphins to rush for a touchdown during the preseason, scoring one each.[102] Lex Hilliard and Patrick Cobbs finished fourth and fifth, respectively, on the team in rushing yards.[102]

No Dolphins player surpassed 100 receiving yards during the preseason, though wide receiver Ted Ginn, Jr. came closest at 97.[102] He also tied rookie Davone Bess for the team lead in receptions with eight.[102] Tight ends Anthony Fasano and Sean Ryan were the only Dolphins to catch a touchdown pass.[102][103]

On special teams, rookie placekicker Dan Carpenter converted 7-of-8 field-goal attempts and all six extra-point attempts.[102] Punter Brandon Fields punted 21 times for a 44.1-yard average and two touchbacks.[102] Meanwhile, Davone Bess led the team in punt returns (6) but Ted Ginn, Jr. was the only Dolphins player to return a kick or punt for a touchdown.[102] Patrick Cobbs led the team in kick return yards with 106.[102]

On defense, Linebackers Akin Ayodele and Reggie Torbor tied for the team lead with 17 tackles,[102] while Ayodele led the team in solo stops with 12.[102] Five others – Yeremiah Bell, Channing Crowder, Renaldo Hill, Nathan Jones, Edmond Miles – also reached double-digits in tackles.[102]

Four players – Jason Allen, Renaldo Hill, Michael Lehan, Joey Thomas – recorded an interception during the preseason.[102] The Dolphins also totaled 14 quarterbacks sacks during the preseason.[102] Linebacker Rob Ninkovich and defensive end Randy Starks each record a team-high two sacks,[102] while ten other players each recorded a sack apiece.[102] Channing Crowder, Junior Glymph and Paul Soliai each forced a fumble during the preseason.[102]
