2006 Miami Dolphins Season
The 2006 Miami Dolphins season was the franchise's 37th season in the National Football League (NFL), the 41st overall and the second and final under head coach Nick Saban. The team failed to improve on their 9–7 record in 2005, and they finished the season 6–10 after being hyped by some to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, and saw their coach Nick Saban abandon his contract to coach college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide, despite saying repeatedly that he would stay in Miami. This season was also best known for the Dolphins almost signing former San Diego Chargers quarterback Drew Brees, as they were one of the two teams (the other being the New Orleans Saints) interested in acquiring the released quarterback. However the Dolphins later declined the idea after doctors informed them that Brees’ shoulder injury was too severe, and they ended up signing Daunte Culpepper instead. Brees ended up signing with the Saints instead, led them to their first Super Bowl title ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
