Just reading this blurb from CBS Sports makes me wonder if he's gonna get the axe at the end of the year.
SPECIAL TEAMS
D -- The horrible field conditions at Gillette Stadium contributed to a poor afternoon by kicker Olindo Mare, who should be used to slippery dirt fields. Mare slipped and missed a 40-yarder in the first quarter, and even with different cleats booted a 50-yarder wide in the fourth quarter when the Dolphins desperately needed to cut into a 10-point deficit for any chance to come back. Punter Donnie Jones dropped John Denney's high but manageable snap to help the Patriots obtain a field-position edge in the scoreless third quarter. Peelle and linebacker Keith Adams committed illegal-block-in-the-back penalties on the same third-quarter play to nullify a nice Welker return. Defensive end David Bowens recovered a Kevin Faulk fumble forced by safety Yeremiah Bell at the Patriots 37 in the third quarter, but the Dolphins failed to score.
It's been a very up and down year on Teams. Saban also has Scott O'brien in the wings.
