My issue with Philbin has primarily been with his game management. He seems to be a reactive guy, rather than proactive, and he doesn't seem to show any emotion at all, and just kind of stares ahead with that deer-in-the-headlights look.
Philbin doesn't run the offense and Sherman clearly had to go, but Philbin needs to held accountable for not getting the team prepared (especially against Tampa Bay on Halloween Night, and the last two games of the season).. I think Philbin will be given 2014 to either get Miami to the playoffs or he is gone. I don't know how much any coach can know about teammates twittering each other, playing pranks, bullying, etc., but clearly Philbin was out of touch, or he looked the other way??? I would tell Philbin that he needs to get Miami to the playoffs next season or start cleaning out your office.
