Gailey, whose resignation on Wednesday triggered a celebration from many ball-watching Dolphins fans, deserved way more credit than he received for what Miami’s offense achieved in 2020.
Under Gailey’s direction in 2020, the Dolphins scored their most points in franchise history (404) since 1986.
That’s 34 years, and his unit did it with a rookie quarterback (Tua Tagovaolia) starting nine games, a limited run game that finished 29th in the NFL in yards per carry (3.9), and a lackluster receiver unit.
Gailey’s former unit ranked third in first-quarter scoring this past season too, which shows that the game plan was solid more often than it wasn’t.
