Before Scott joined the Dolphins, I considered him to be one of the most innovative offensive coaches in the league. After working with him this past season, I also came to appreciate his work ethic and organizational skills. I have a great deal of respect for Scott, and I know he is well qualified to be a head coach in the NFL.

Mediocre people don’t like high achievers, and high achievers don’t like mediocre people.

We have another one, Sammy (Morris). I think that's something we've always looked at as a two-starter position, the running-back position. That has been my history as a coach, to always have two guys at that position that can play and share the load.

We are not in the playoffs, but it was not all in vain. This group was a team for the last six weeks of the season, for sure.
