The last time Miami was that team there were guys like "Butch Cassidy" and "Sundance Kid" and Mercury Morris, Bob Griese and Paul Warfield running the show. Been a long, good while. Marino and the "Killer Bees" with Bob Baumhower and Tony Nathan kicked up some dust but could never finish. That too has been a long time ago. Since then more good players have been a whole lot more interested in leaving than getting there. It's a very poorly run NFL franchise at this point and I do want better for Tua.
I recall a time that Bo Jackson wanted no part of Tampa Bay as the first pick. He had baseball to go to until Tampa traded his rights to Oakland. Elway wanted no part of Baltimore and got traded and Eli Manning publicly wanted no part of San Diego and was shipped to NY. Just saying, he still has eligibility at a place that if he returns would be an all-time Alabama legend. I could also see a lot of juniors on offense rethinking their plans as well if Tua stayed. Kind of like the Tebow effect.

All those clemson DL came back last year because they wanted another shot at going out champs. It happens every year... rare but it does happen.
Jonathan Allen came back for his senior year when he was a slam dunk 1st rounder.
I do think Tua father is a bigger CNS fan than Tua though. Tua may be counting the seconds to escape CNS even though he understands its CNS job to remind him he isn't perfect.

In looking at management the last several years, the common factor seems to be Stephen Ross, who took over as managing partner for Wayne Huizinga in 2009. They have had one season over .500 in his tenure and only one playoff appearance, and they're on their fourth GM in eleven years. His hires haven't been successful. They haven't been horrible every year; most years they've just been mediocre. Two 8-8s and four 7-9s.
This is Brian Flores' first year as a head coach anywhere, but he was an assistant at New England for 15 years. That could help explain the Tua/Saban/Alabama love.

That is because Tampa Bay screwed him over with his collegiate baseball eligibility (I don’t remember all the details) so he refused to play for them. He told them not to draft him because he would rather play baseball than play for them. He was drafted by Oakland the next year.
