The New England Patriots were down and out just like the Miami Hurricanes were a couple years ago. But the Pats will play in the Super Bowl Sunday, just like Miami played for the national title this past season.

The Dolphins will finish the campaign with a 7-10 record and a litany of major questions entering the offseason.

While it is true there is more to life than sports, a single sports outcome can change one's life if it is as big as the Super Bowl.

The Miami Dolphins have hired a defensive-minded coach, like New England and Seattle. Now, like those teams, they should load up on defense.

Miami's new general manager, Jon-Eric Sullivan, previously worked with both the Seahawks' and Patriots' GMs in Green Bay. This philosophy emphasizes building a team through the draft, developing players, and retaining core talent. The Packers Way has helped lead the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots into Super Bowl 60.
