Why do Dolphins coaches appear to be so clueless and inept?
 
For fun. Its their joy to bring misery to fans and look as buffoons on national tv. Kevin Coyle is the leader of this movement.
 
Because they don't listen to the fans. We know everything and we're so much smarter.

I also saw a recent fan critique that the coaches listen to the fans to much....must be some kind of ancient greek paradox.
 
stupidity trickles down from the top, from a jock-sniffing owner
 
The coaches are not inept, but there are some problems with the staff. Philbin took a chance when he promoted a position coach to DC. COYLE has not grown into the position. His scheme is overly complex. He tries to be tricky instead of good fundamentally sound defense with adjustments and targeted schemes. He does not game plan well to the oppositions weakness. All of these issues are examples of an inexperienced coordinator or any manager really.

I like Lazor. I believe he has grown, he holds himself accountable, and he appears willing to improve. Lazor is another position coach that is inexperienced as a coordinator.

If our head coach was good at developing his staff, then maybe both of these gambles would have been successful. I just do not believe that Philbin is capable of growing his coordinators. He keeps trying to improve. I will give him that. He does self evaluations and changes his approach. I just do not see that he has developed a winning approach.
 
Because our HC is a dork and no player can relate to anything about him.

Early life

Coaching career Edit

College Edit
From 1984-2002, Philbin coached at the collegiate level. As the offensive coordinator, he helped win a national championship with Allegheny College in 1990. In 1998, he was offered the position of head football coach at his alma mater, Washington & Jefferson, but turned down the position to coach at Iowa.[3] He served under Kirk Ferentz at Iowa from 1999-2002.

Green Bay Packers Edit
In 2003, Philbin joined the Green Bay Packers coaching staff. He spent nine years in Green Bay. During his tenure as offensive coordinator (2007–2011), the Packers offense ranked in the top 10 in the NFL for points scored and total yards every year, including their Super Bowl season.[4]

Miami Dolphins Edit
On January 20, 2012, Philbin was named the tenth head coach of the Miami Dolphins, [5] beating out interim coach Todd Bowles and Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, who were the other two finalists for the job. Philbin praised the Dolphins as a team with a "strong nucleus to build around," and the "passion" of the fans, players and management. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross stated that Joe Philbin has all of the attributes that he was looking for in a head coach.[6] His current overall coaching record is 23-25.[7]

I think this might be closer to the truth. One of Coyles biggest problems is his in-game adjustment IMO. Pretty much they take too long and from my perspective don't happen on the fly nearly fast enough. It's like he has a plan in-place and sticks with it until it's beyond obvious its not working. Then he starts trying to draw up a counter...too slow!

For the life of me I will never understand the philosophy on 3 and long why our DBs play 10+ yards off. You want the front end pressure to get to the QB yet you allow the receivers a free release...strange! Worst you call an all out Blitz(LBS) with DBs playing 10 yards off..leaving the middle of the field wide open for Slants etc...

As for Lazor..KISS..If you're running and gashing them for 4-6 yards DON'T STOP! DON'T HELP THEM OUT...When we are on in the Red Zone ATTACK THE DAMN RED ZONE! If you can't trust your QB to do that..he doesn't need to be the QB!

Tell Tannehill it's okay to throw one down there..Overshoot it on bad coverages..Just to let the opposition know we're going to attempt it.
 
We have a disconnect between the players on the field and the scheme on defense. Players are not being used to their strength some are out of position and adjustments are not being made week to week.

Side note I like how Matthews basically forced his way on the field. He was in JP dog house but bringing in an injured 1st round pick and a hobbled Stills Matthews is still kicking ass. I forgot about Jennings.
