I wouldn't say I'm a Philbin supporter I just want what is best for my team...going into this yr I felt we had to give Philbin until the end of next yr to really give him a fair assessment, I still believe that....I also felt Ireland and Philbin should be a package deal, when one goes so should the other...I don't think it helps the team to bring in a new GM right before Philbin possible last yr of force a new GM to work with Philbin for a yr before he can find his own guy...s
Now with the latest developments with the mess in Miami things have changed...Ross goes on national tv and supports Philbin then says there will be changes after the investigation...in other words he made up his mind before all the details are in that Philbin is staying and Ireland will take the fall.....I hope this isn't the case...if Philbin was negligent in his duties then he should go too....
Why I would keep him is for one he is a new coach and still trying to learn his job, we will have the same problems if we bring in another 1st time head coach.....when Philbin was hired Ross has to give him the time and resources to get the job done....he hasn't had 2 yrs yet and now he is trying to coach in the middle of a crisis with a team with few leaders and very young....not fair to base your opinion on if he can get the job done during this issue only, unless it determined he could have stopped it or was part of the problem...
