The two are not compatible. Plain and simple.
Joe Philbin did not hire Dan Campbell. Interestingly, he is one of the few mainstays from the Tony Sparano era. Sparano believed in a hard-nosed running attack, and was not the type of coach to endorse the heavy-shotgun based system that Miami is currently working out of.
Joe Philbin brought in Bill Lazor in hopes to adopt one of the NFL’s modernized offensive systems. This essentially means that the team does away with power football, operating out of the shotgun as their base formation.
Joe Philbin wanted to fuse these new up-tempo offenses (shotgun heavy) with his Green Bay offense, which also operates in the shotgun.
In short, Ryan Tannehill is not Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers is given immense authority in that offense. Also, calling audibles and making reads are easier in the shotgun in many cases. So, by taking away Tannehill’s ability to call audibles, you neuter the offense by removing one of its best traits.
Dan Campbell is clearly not one for the finesse football that is associated with shotgun offenses. He came from the likes of Bill Parcells and Tony Sparano. These coaches do not know what finesse means.
For some perspective, the undefeated Panthers average 34.2 rushing attempts each week.
The Miami Dolphins’ offense is an entirely different story. They are ranked 24th in rushing first downs per game, averaging almost 5 per game. They are 31st in time of possession, averaging just 45.33% of time on the clock. Coincidentally, they hold the same ranking for rushing attempts, as the 31st team in the league, averaging around 21 per game.
Now, the Miami Dolphins are a finesse football team that cannot win up front or in the trenches.
There are two main problems here.
1) You can’t win football games if you can’t win in the trenches.
2) The Dolphins are a finesse offense, but still aren’t very good at finesse plays.
Bill Lazor and Joe Philbin devised this offensive scheme, specifically in order to operate this 21st century system. Unfortunately, it didn’t work.
Stephen Ross and Mike Tannenbaum clearly wanted to change the team immediately when they fired Joe Philbin.
Dan Campbell wants to make changes, and prepare the team in a way that he feels best equips them to win football games. Unfortunately, three-years of coaching and preparation had gone into Bill Lazor’s system, which is infinitely different.
It is time to realize that the Miami Dolphins’ struggles on offense are attributable not to one individual, but to the relationship between Dan Campbell and Bill Lazor, the two individuals tasked with putting together a competitive unit.
The Dolphins need to find an identity. Unfortunately, it is too late to do so in the 2015 season.

Now, the Dolphins are faced with a dilemma. Keep Dam Campbell, fire Lazor and help DC build the team he envisions or blow everything up nd bring in a new face. Either way God help us with a moronic owner like Stephany Ross we are bout to get screwed again.
