1. He found a qb and trained him, something no other head coach has done in Miami since mid eighties and we had some hof names running the franchise. That is an incredible task that he accomplished.
2. You have not seen a passing game like we've had in Miami going back to last season to today since Marino in mid eightes. That is an incredible accomplishment.
3. Joe Philbin has brass balls to let a young qb pass 550-600 times a year, sink or swim against nfl defenses. He is very aggressive compared to other coaches and that's a fact.
4. We've been a losing non competitive team for over a decade. He has reversed that trend and we are competitive and have not had a losing season in 2 years.
5. He plays and develops young players. Just during Hickey's draft, James, Landry, Aikens, Fede, Phillips, Douglas, Bobby McCain. He believes in players, in the process and trains them and plays them.
6. He fired Ireland.
Those are some.
As far as Coyle, he has nothing to apologize for this year. His defense allowed 16.5 ppg. That excellent, and he's led top ten D in the league the past 3 years with the exception of the late slide last year. He's led a better defense than Rex Ryan.
