Perhaps one of the most curious aspects of Philbin's tenure as head coach has been his apparent lack of a relationship with any members of the team on a personal level.

It is even more curious when you consider he apparently quite good personal relationships with numerous members of the Packers - relationships that he maintains even today. You could really see it before the Packers game with the warm embraces he gave several Packers players, including Rodgers.

I can't think of a single moment where it seemed Philbin was chummy with a Dolphkns player - not on the sideline, not on Hard Knocks, not in post game victory locker room scenes, not once.

It's already evident he has a frayed relationship with his starting QB. There is no love lost between the 2 as both have openly criticized each other. You hardly see them speak during games.

Contrast this with other successful coach / QB pairings, and this lack of personal relationships between coach and players is quite stark. You could tell even in this game that McCarthy and Rodgers enjoyed a bond of some sort. Brees and Payton appear to have a great relationship. Same with Wilson and Carrol.

Even the much maligned Jim Harbaugh appears to have some relationship with Kaep and players on the team.

I understand that not ever coach is a players coach, but Philbin is taking it to another level. And it's just so weird because he was a players coach in GB...

Let us do whatever we can to get rid of this guy ok?


start another thread tommorrow. find something else to put on him.

Lets forget the fact that the players are not really playing all that great. Players making lots and lots of money....narcs like phillip wheeler.
 
He wasn't the head guy in GB, there is an enormous difference between being a coach and being THE coach. There is a list a mile long of guys that aren't cut out to be the HC, why do you think so many former coordinators and assistants try the HC thing and then go back to what they were doing before (or college).
 
How many things can Skape look to blame Philbin for. Yes it's time to move on but do we have to pick at everything?

It's just something I noticed that hasn't been explored here. Shoot me

Hmmmmmm.....Bud Grant, Tom Laundry, Chuck Knoll....even Bill Belichick don't outwardly appear to have relationships with their players. Not sure I would know if they did.

Before anyone has a coronary, I'm not comparing Philbin with any of these guys, just saying this doesn't appear to be a requirement for success.
 
Just gotta say something here...

Players are saying what to the media??????


let me start over....Players are saying what to the media????

It appears to me that players blaming coaches is the lamest thing on the face of the earth right here. Its not like we are cam cameron here and looking our first win in week 15 here.

I mean we lost to one of the best QBs in the game and our players are talking to the media blaming coaching?

I dont know about anyone else and their hatred for Joe, but this should really really bother people and I see it is ignored because it fits an agenda.

I does no player any good to do that. Its insane to think these guys get paid that much money and you cant keep your own damn shortfalls out of the limelight!!!

Example #3,042 of how something is not Joe's fault. Now it is the players do not have enough talent.

When you've bumbled as much as Philbin has, credibility and respect goes out the window.
If he can't do his job consistently well and rarely takes specific blame or critique appropriately each and every post-game, i.e. "well...coaches have to do better, have to do better, have to do better ZzZzZ" what kind of example is he setting?
The guy hardly changes his routine, the games Still start slow, the end of halves and 4th Q's are Still mishandled. Everything is the same on his part. His preparation used to be a strong point despite the team's weaknesses, but now it just looks like "How to Go 8-8 Every Time"
 
I suggest we a create a Philbin section on this site. Makes the most sense after thread after thread of the same ****. I'm also aware that if I don't like it, don't read it. What I said first still applies.
 
Probably not as his ego will not allow it.
