Nine months ago, Tua Tagovailoa got into a halftime shouting match with the Miami Dolphins coach who didn’t trust him for much of anything. Sunday, he starts the next season with a new coach who anoints him for pretty much everything.
That’s not just amazing progress, considering the only happening between these events involved Dolphins owner Steve Ross clumsily attempting to replace Tagovailoa for a second time.
It’s a welcome, even necessary change, this switch from tough love to unconditional love. Tagovailoa deserves a head coach in his corner and an owner not plotting his latest replacement. Does that even need to be said?
