this is the best head coach miami has had since don shula n jimmy johnson days. I like philbin n think he is going to a great successful hc in nfl.
WOW!!! Very well said!!!I wouldn't go that far, but the scene where he interrupted the coaches meeting for no apparent reason would not fly with the likes of bill belichick or tom coughlin. It was a pretty entertaining scene though.
WOW!!! Very well said!!!
Let me start by saying I love most of everything I have seen and heard from Philbin before lastnight. He is very detailed, organized, and knows what he wants and has a great plan of how to get it. He seems very inteligent and has been a success every where he has been. But being a leader is a little different. One thing he said in the conversation with Chad that made me cringe was when he made the comment along the lines of, "I'm not running a dictatorship, you can come to me and talk about anything and we will work something out". Well you might not be running a dictatorship but you BETTER not be running a democracy. You won't ever see Coughlin or Belichick taking a poll to see what everyone wants to do. They make a decision and everyone does it plan and simple. While it is fine to be available to your players to hear about their problems he has to make it clear to the players that HE has the final say, and if it is something they don't like, well "TOUGH".
I know this is a little thing, and there was jus a couple of small incidents like this. I also know that this is Philbins first go at HC and he is learning like everyone has to do. But it is worth monitoring. I want to see him make a few tough decisions as a leader, rather than acting like he is apologizing. He did the same thing when talking to the QBs while telling them the depth chart. He looked uncomfortable as if some of them were not going to like it. You can't be worried if those around you like you when you are a leader. There is zero chance that 3 of the 4 of those QBs are going to like not being the starter, so take all the information you have and make the best decision and confidentally pass that info to the ones that need to know it.
As I said to start with, I love Philbin and think he can turn things around. He is very intelligent and has some great ideas. But no one is perfect and he could tighten up some of his leadership qualities IMO. I really don't think you would have ever seen Don Shula handle the Chad situ in that manner. Shula WAS a dictator but he was fair and players could talk to him. And those players would give 110% to be the best they could be. But NOBODY doubted who made the decisions!!!
I think you're blowing that out of proportion. Did he say he would have a team meeting and decide what to do? If not, then how can you say he'll take a poll to see what everyone wants to do? If you ever watched "It's a football life" with Belichick you would know that he and Tom Brady put the game plan together, Brady makes suggestions and he gives it a yea or nea. He never says "Tom this is the game plan go execute it and don't change a thing"...Good coaches know you can't treat every player the same. What works for one guy may not work for another. Some players may respond to being called out, others go into a shell and stop responding to a coaches instruction because they feel "disrespected".WOW!!! Very well said!!!

Obvious to me these guys on 790 didn't watch the show last night, or just have no clue what they are talking about. Philbin is not Cam Cameron, he is more of a Tony Dungy.On 790 right now They are talking about how Philbin reminded them of Cam. They are saying that the players dont fear or respect him and Chad is an A hole. Not the latter is probably true but what are you opinions on the new Coach and Staff?
Thanks.
