History Has Been Preserved

It's worth mentioning that the Dolphins finally won a game this year. With the win, the Dolphins have given the 1976 Buccaneers the gift of sustained infamy and hope that the media will again seek them out when the next batch of NFL losers hasn't won though November. What should they toast with, Colt 45?

The funny thing is that this one game will probably let Cam Cameron stick around for one more season and at the same time will almost definitely lead to Brian Billick's termination. Thirty years ago, another Super Bowl winning coach was beaten by a team that had gone winless for the entire season. Hank Stram of the Saints was fired at the end of the season after giving the Bucs their first franchise victory. The same thing is going to happen this January.

Of course, Atlanta will be looking for a head coach in January as well. Common sense says they'll stay away from guys who have never held a head coaching job or from college coaches this time around. Look for Brian Billick to be seriously considered for the Atlanta job.
