I've been telling you guys for awhile that there have been some very concerning leadership issues with Philbin. The most obvious was him being MIA during the Martin-Richie mess. Any leader who is so disengaged and so distant from his players and coaches that he doesn't have a clue what was happening in the locker room, and no one came to him, coaches or players, is very very revealing. Then we hear that he systematically cut loose all the vocal players players/leaders on the so-called leadership team is another very concerning fact about Philbin's style of stiffling dissent in the organization. Then we hear that two starters, one the #3 player in last years draft, are suspended for PED use. I could go on and on and on, but the players on this team don't care about this cold, robotic coach, who has totally failed to connect to this team and to it's fans. He is Ross's choice and Ross is ultimately responsible to fix it.
I'm just totally devastated what has happened to this once-proud franchise that I grew up cheering for as a child. The only redeeming things left are our new GM and Dan Marino, and some former players like Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas. I hope this group can work with this clueless owner to clean house and bring in a proven NFL coach who can connect with the players and the fans and restore the franchise to something we can all be proud of again.
We jus got pummelled by a team at home, missing like 8 starters, including it's best player. We were never in it. Totally unacceptable.
