One of the richest men on Earth, Warren Buffett, roamed the sideline as a guest of Dolphins owner Stephen Ross at Sunday’s home opener for Miami. Ross’ net worth is more than $6 billion and Buffett, who wore a Ndamukong Suh jersey, is worth more than 10 times that.

Ross wanted to impress Buffett by showing off his shiny new toy, the one he hoped might make the NFL playoffs, even win a championship. Here is what Buffett saw instead:

A football team that looked like Ross had bought it at the dollar store.

And not gotten his money’s worth.

What a debacle! You are launching the franchise’s 50th season in front of your home fans. You are playing an AFC East division rival in the Buffalo Bills. You have every incentive to rebound impressively from the previous week’s unexpected loss to Jacksonville.

And, instead of rising up, you lay down and get kicked all over the field.

The 41-14 final score flattered the Dolphins and the effort shown. It was 27-0 by halftime, when Dolfans literally booed their team off the field.

Heads might roll

In the short term, I would not be shocked if the collapse we saw Sunday cost defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle his job. That would not be scapegoating. That would be underlining the urgency of turning around a defense that spent $114million signing the superstar run-stopper Suh and yet somehow is worse than last season’s defense.

In the longer term, a loss like Sunday’s felt like the low from which Philbin will not recover. If and when he is fired — the “when” seeming to loom ever larger than the “if” — I suspect getting embarrassed in the home opener to a division rival will be what Ross thinks of first, and what hurts the most.

Hc and dc both should be fired right now...but if there is any movement probably after we fall to 1 and 3 next week...time for people to walk the plank for personnel and scheme

oline coach too...that unit blows
 
in some respects i feel for the man or men behind the coach we want fired, but if any of us were as poor at our jobs as they have been at theirs, we would have been replaced long ago...
 
One from Omar Kelly....

"This season, all of a sudden, feels like a sinkhole, about to suck down a lot of people."
 
No ****ing **** you useless turd, Cote. A lot of ****ing incompetents in this city on the outside and inside of that team. MIGHT. Idiot. We're just ticking down the clock until another blow up.

Go look at the $$$ these guys make. No one needs to feel sorry for them. Look at Wanny. The guy has pretty much sucked everywhere he's gone and I bet he's still pulling down a quarter million a year from Fox
 
We'll play in London. After that, there'll be a couple weeks to make the changes, HC and DC. They simply have to go. No overreaction, just hit the road!

I hope that sinkhole swallows him too.

The NFL is known as a place where you can suck at your job for several years and become a millionaire.
 
Clean house with the head coach, o-coordinator and d-coordinator. Hell, we can't do much worse on either side of the ball even without those guys there. If Ross drags his feet on this he deserves to be the laughing stock of the league.
 
"can", "might", "probably", "possibly", "maybe"... not. Ross has his ass on the 'stubborn' button, and he ain't gettin up off it

I like Joe Philbin but it's time to GTFO. Miami needs to win and it isn't happening with him.
 
this team is ****ed, does it matter if he is fired in October or January? his replacement would be the DC or OC. big deal
