About a week ago, we took a look at the first half of the 2011 season awards for the Miami Dolphins. Unfortunately, things got chaotic, and this second half wasn't able to come out as scheduled. However, here they are and these awards were voted upon by you, looking to highlight the top individual and team efforts by the Dolphins over the past season - despite the disappointment of the 6-10 record.

That first post announced the Rookie of the Year (Mike Pouncey), Breakout Player of the Year (Reggie Bush), Game of the Year (Week 17, 19-17 win over the New York Jets), Best Single Game Performance (Reggie Bush, 203 yards rushing against the Buffalo Bills), and the Moment of the Year (Jason Taylor's Final Game).

On to the second half of the awards.

The first poll take a look at the Offensive Player of the Year. The nominees for the award were quartreback Matt Moore, running back Reggie Bush, wide receiver Brandon Marshall, tight end Anthony Fasano, and tight end/fullback Charles Clay. Of the 679 votes cast in the poll, 429 of them (63.18%) went to our winner. The 2011 Miami Dolphins Offensive Player of the Year is Reggie Bush.

Matt Moore claimed second place with 20.47% of the vote, with Brandon Marshall in third (14.29%).

So, we've finally reached the end of the week. It's Friday Night. If you don't have a life...I mean...if you happen to be around, why not spend some time here - you know, like you do during work hours.

Anyway, I am stealing an idea form our SB Nation sister site Arrowhead Pride, tonight. Weekly, they do a "victory of the week" post on Friday. Simply put, it's what was your own, personal, victory of the week? What was the biggest thing you had to overcome - and it can be a simple thing or difficult. Whatever it was for you this week.

My victory of the week was having to deal with the moving company delivering all of my household goods - without killing any of them.

So, what was your victory of the week?

The Miami Dolphins agreed to terms with their new offensive and defensive coordinators, Mike Sherman and Kevin Coyle, respectively, today. With the hirings, it's time to take a look at who exactly head coach Joe Philbin is bringing in to serve on his staff. First up is offensive coordinator Mike Sherman.

Sherman is currently 57 years old, being born and raised around the Boston, Massachusetts area, eventually earning a scholarship to Central Connecticut State University as a defensive end and offensive tackle. After he graduated college, Sherman became a high school English teacher and assistant football coach. He spent the the 1979 and 1980 at the Worcester Academy in Massachusetts, where he taught Philbin.

From 1981-1982, Sherman served as a graduate assistant for the University of Pittsburgh. During his time at Pitt, Sherman was unable to afford an apartment, and lived on a cot in the stadium. In 1983, he moved to Tulane as the team's offensive line coach.

He then moved to Holy Cross in 1985, serving as their offensive line coach until 1987, before becoming the team's offensive coordinator for a year. Sherman then was hired for his first stint with Texas A&M, serving as the team's offensive line coach from 1989-1993.

After a year at UCLA as an offensive line coach, Sherman returned to Texas A&M in the same role, serving their from 1995 to 1996.

The Green Bay Packers came calling in 1997, bringing Sherman to the NFL as a tight ends coach. He remained with the Packers until 1999, when he took over as the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator.

Previously, I have discussed an overall view of top free agent targets and most recently, I discussed free agent targets at QB. We already know that debate will go on well into March. Being that RB isn't on the wishlist, I have decided to forego that position and get right into the WRs. Depending on who you speak to, the WR may or may not have to be addressed in the offseason.

Personally, I believe Brian Hartline is an average #2 WR. I don't think he's great, but he is consistent and I do believe he's better than some give him credit for. Others think Clyde Gates may be ready to challenge him for a starting position. Based on what I've seen of Gates so far, as much as I would love that to happen, I'm not sure he's ready. I don't believe WR is a huge need for the team, but I also wouldn't be opposed to some acquisitions in that department. There are plenty of free agent WRs available, but some will resign prior to free agency and some others may receive the franchise tag. Let's get started and take a look at some of the free agents and who I believe could make good targets.

The demise of the once great Indianapolis Colts seems to be continuing. After a 2-14 season, with future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning missing the entire year, Colts owner Jim Irsay has blown up the entire front office and coaching staff, starting completely over in Indy. And, with the team poised to select Stanford Cardinal quarterback Andrew Luck with the first overall pick in April's draft, it is not looking good for the future of Manning with the Colts.

On Monday, Manning was asked about his future by The Indianapolis Star , and if he was preparing to to leave the only franchise with which he has played. "I don't want to get into some kind of fan campaign with the owner [Irsay], but I think it's well documented that I want to play in the same place my whole career," the quarterback answered.

With Manning owed $28 million on March 8, the speculation that Manning will be released in the upcoming weeks continues to grow. Manning is trying to come back to the NFL following three neck surgeries and nerve damage affecting his right, throwing, arm. The Colts never placed Manning on injured reserve, instead paying him his roster bonus and full salary, despite not stepping foot on a field all year.

The hiring of former Green Bay Packers and Texas A&M Aggies head coach Mike Sherman brings a ton of experience to the staff, a guy who has called plays before, and a guy with head coaching experience to share with Philbin. Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive backs coach Kevin Coyle brings 11 years of NFL coaching experience, and has had one of the top secondaries in the NFL for the last nine years.

Great hires for both positions.

Here are the Miami Dolphins news stories from around the web you may have missed over the last 24 hours:

I'd normally have a problem with posting an NFL mock draft every week, especially when we're still in the pre-Combine stage of the offseason. However, considering the current shape-shifting nature of this Dolphins team (the Joe Philbin hire, Matt Flynn-to-Miami rumors, a pending change to the 4-3 defensive scheme, the likelihood that Paul Soliai is going to make mega-bucks playing for a different team next season, etc.) a weekly mock draft is the only way to keep up with Miami's ever-changing offseason needs

And with that in mind, I present to you, the passionate reader, NFL 2012 mock draft 5.0.
