Adam Gase is not the typical candidate who comes from just one coaching tree. He has learned from several great football minds, and has decided to adopt what best fits his style from those approaches. He has formed a unique offensive identity. That is why we have not yet heard many concrete details about the Gase system; because there really aren’t any.
In this article, we dissect what makes Gase’s offense so lethal, and specifically assess how it will fit the skill set of current Dolphins’ quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
There is no name for the Adam Gase offense. That is simply because it has not been run before. Gase has been a student of some of the game’s finest offensive minds. Steve Mariucci was one of the originators of the true West Coast Offense. Mike Martz engineered the “Greatest Show on Turf.” Martz learned from the Chargers’ revolutionary coach in the 1960s, Don Coryell, whose schemes have appeared in Gase’s offense. Possibly most importantly, Gase went to the Peyton Manning school of passing.
...
After reviewing film, it is clear that the desire was not one sided during this coaching search. The Dolphins’ personnel fits perfectly with what Adam Gase wants to do.
If he can resign Lamar Miller (which I think becomes a top priority), then he will have a formidable stable out of the backfield. He also will have Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker, and Kenny Stills, who can all play similar roles to those of the receivers he had in Denver.
Without comparing the players themselves, I can simply say that Parker can play the big-bodied role of Thomas, Stills can be the speed option that Sanders was, and Landry will be the lethal third down/slot option that Wes Welker was in 2013.
It is also clear that Gase relies heavily upon tight ends in his offense. They will most likely make a strong push to resign Jordan Cameron, as he fits the bill as a tight end that can be used outside of the numbers, which would be to Gase’s liking.
Now, for the all important question. Where does Ryan Tannehill fit into all of this?
The answer is complicated. There are a few things that we can say with certainty, however. First, he can make all of the throws asked of him in the offense. Second, Gase will be able to utilize Tannehill as runner in some very unique ways. Third, Tannehill’s chemistry with Landry and Parker will serve him well, as many of Gase’s concepts require immense trust and communication between the quarterback and his primary targets (which seems obvious, but the importance is elevated in this system).

It all really comes down to Tannehill's ability to execute - as the article itself points out. We should, finally, get more out of Jordan Cameron and Lamar Miller as well... We'll see...
