thewildrabbit Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 When the team changes general managers they usually want people under them that is of their choosing. 2012 Philbin 7-9 split with Patriots 2013 Philbin 8-8 split with Patriots 2014 Philbin currently 7-7 (split with Patriots) with games against the Vikings & Jets at Miami. That said, I gotta believe that the owners think that they only way to be successful in the AFC East is to beat Bill Belchick consistently. Whats crazy is the Dolphins have a ton of players on IR this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 I REALLY hope Harbaugh ends up getting the job in Ann Arbor... they are being very deliberate in their search... While UF, Nebraska, Wisc have all filled theirs quickly. Could be telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 i really cannot believe this. philbin has done as good of a job as possible with all that has been wrong in Miami. this will set tannehill back another year in his development and i actually think he is on his way to becoming a capably successful qb in this league. philbin getting fired makes me think there is more to what is going on behind the scenes and in the office then what is going on with on the field. The Dolphins and Philbin are terribly overrated in your eyes. He's milquetoast, and the Dolphins are soft because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Trestman is a trashman for now. The Bears have been insanely bad this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) If Schwartz gets a HC gig, we can hire Philbin as OC and Rex Ryan as DC. What a merry party of ex-AFCE coaches it will be. Edited December 16, 2014 by Fan in Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree. I think Miami is turning a corner and is going to be a challenge for the Bills to beat again from here on out. I hope they fire him so that they set themselves back for a year or so. I think they are nuts if they do it, but go ahead Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't turned a corner and Philbin is part of the reason. The guy gets nervous when the wind blows too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I remember hearing similar quotes about Schwartz on the defensive side Former HC';s often make excellent OC's and DC's....because it is their work in those positions that got the HC gig Schwartz had a long history as successful DC. I don't recall a lot of people worried about him improving the defense against the run. They were concerned the pass rush would disappear. Different problems. The problems that Philbin has in Miami and the *same* ones that Buffalo has... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Ya might consider Philbin as soft, and yet his teams have beaten the Patriots once every year he has been HC. How many games has Marrone won against Belichick? Philbin was hindered by the moron of a GM in Jeff Ireland, and they fired him last year to our dismay. This season the Dolphins lost their starting RB early, and their starting LT. Besides, this is a new OC for who has no prior experience at OC. So, this can't be easy for Tallywhacker. Still, it was their defense that let them down more the last two games IMO. Looks like Philbin is training his assistants as he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they actually do beat the Patriots sometimes. If you have to be "soft" to beat the Patriots, sign up our coaching staff for some softness training.

Being able to win occasionally has nothing to do with being tough or soft. A broken clock is right twice a day. Philbin is garbage and his team reflects that.

The *pats having the Bills number has nothing to do with whether or not Philbin is a good coach. If the Bills were the measuring stick in the NFL the league would be terrible.

Maybe teams are putting players in the box and forcing Cutler to beat them. If I were DC, that's what I'd do. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
