Miami Dolphins - During the preseason, Sports Illustrated touted the Dolphins to be one of the teams heading to the Super Bowl XLI. They were predicted to lose by a field goal to the Carolina Panthers in their own Dolphin Stadium. Before the season began, Ricky Williams tested positive for the 4th time for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy, ending his season. The season started out with a rough loss to the defending Super Bowl Champions The Pittsburgh Steelers. The Dolphins went on to start the season with a record of 1-6. However they had seemed to have turned something around midseason, much like the previous year's late-season surge. However, with a 6-8 record after a loss to Buffalo in Week 15, they were assured to once again miss the playoffs. The team finished 6-10 after a loss to the Colts in their final game. On January 3, 2007, head coach Nick Saban announced that he had accepted a contract for eight years and a guaranteed $32 million to coach at the University of Alabama. Saban left despite making several public statements in the preceding weeks assuring fans and owner Wayne Huizenga that he would be staying on as coach of the Dolphins. The most infamous of the statements came during a press conference on December 21, 2006 when addressing the media he said 'I'm not going to be the Alabama coach.' Various sources have reported that the Dolphins will play one of their home games during the 2007 season at Wembley Stadium in London, England, likely to be against the New York Giants. No date has been announced at present for the game.
