Miami Dolphins - The 2005 offseason saw many changes for the Dolphins as Saban began to mold the team in his image. The team selected Auburn running back Ronnie Brown in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft. The Dolphins also signed veteran quarterback Gus Frerotte, who would win the starting job over A.J. Feeley, who was a disappointment in 2004, after Miami gave up a second-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for Feeley. At the 2005 trade deadline, Feeley and a seventh-rounder were dealt to the San Diego Chargers for Cleo Lemon. Cornerback Patrick Surtain was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for their second-round pick. Finally, Ricky Williams returned to the team. However, he had to sit out the first four games of the 2005 season due to violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy that he had ducked out on in 2004. The Dolphins began their 2005 regular season with a bang. The Dolphins won their Week 1 home-opener against the Denver Broncos 34-10, giving Nick Saban his very first NFL win. Despite going on the road and losing to division rival New York Jets (17-7), the Dolphins won a tough game at home against the Carolina Panthers 27-24. After their Week 4 bye, they lost their next two road games to their division rival Buffalo Bills (20-14) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (27-13). Not even Ricky Williams's return against the Bucs was enough.
