### Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is mulling whether to keep coach Joe Philbin and a decision is expected by Monday, NBC's Mike Florio reported tonight.

"Despite the absence of any obvious internal candidates, one of the big factors will be a desire by the owner to demonstrate to key players that he’s committed to improving the situation. Which is an ominous sign for Philbin," Florio said on his web site, Pro Football Talk.

"Making a move now also gives the team a head start on finding a new coach for 2016, which will make it easier for executive V.P. of football operations Mike Tannenbaum to make the best possible hire," Florio added. "Speaking of Tannenbaum, he’s surely livid about the outcome of the last two games, losses by a combined score of 68-28 to Rex Ryan, who worked for Tannenbaum in New York, and now the Jets, who fired Tannenbaum after the 2012 season."

Fox's Jay Glazer also reported that Ross is contemplating what to do with Philbin but did not want to make a knee-jerk reaction on Sunday.

Glazer said two factors are in play: 1) Are the players tuning out Philbin? and 2) Is there anyone on the staff capable of taking over as head coaches. Glazer said it does not appear there is anyone positioned to be the head coach.

CBS-4's Kim Bokamper said he was told that Ross was livid at halftime. Ross brought friends and associates to the game, and the Dolphins were again embarrassed

Ross declined comment after the game and the Dolphins have not clarified Philbin's status tonight. Also, for the first time in memory at this time Sunday night, the Dolphins have not said when or if Philbin will hold his customary Monday news conference. The team is flying back from London at this hour.

The Dolphins, 1-3 entering their bye week, are 24-28 under Philbin. A Ross associate said before the season that anything less than a playoff berth would greatly disappoint him.

Special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi is one possibility for the interim coach job if Philbin is let go.

“I’m never a fan of making changes on the coaching staff during the season. I don’t think they help much, but something has to be done in Miami," NBC's Tony Dungy said tonight. "They are not playing anywhere near their talent level.”

### The Dolphins' first quarter stats are beyond gruesome. They've been outscored 37-3 and outgained 622-125 in the first quarter. Opponents have 27 first downs; Miami has four.

### NBC pounded Ndamukong Suh on its pregame show tonight, with Rodney Harrison providing visual evidence that Suh quit on a player.

Regarding Suh saying he’s ‘not very emotional’ during his post-game press conference, Harrison said: “I'm a little surprised because when he played with Detroit, he was very emotional. He was a tough guy and sometimes he went past that line. But all the great players that I've competed against or played with - the great defensive players - they're emotional and when they lost, it hurt. Afterwards, you have to face the media, you have to be a professional. That's all part of it. It's not just signing a contract and then walking away and thinking everything is fine. You have to compete, but he (also) has to produce.”

Dungy on Suh: “You have to get some production. Miami's defense is at the bottom of the league in run defense. They only have one sack this year. He (Suh) was supposed to provide that and it's not happening.”

### The Dolphins have only one sack in four games, a pace for an absurdly low four. For perspective, Cincinnati was last in the league in sacks last year with 20.

### The Dolphins are averaging 14.4 points. Over a full season, that would be the lowest in the NFL since Kansas City averaged 12.2 points in 2012.

### NFL Network's Heath Evans, today: “The focus was put on the wrong things this offseason to make this team a playoff contender.”

Ross, better realize he is going to lose the fan base.
 
Our team is in turmoil and I did not see it
Coming a month ago. We've been had
 
Didn't the Raider's GM fire their Head Coach as he got off the plane a few year's back? Sorry I can't remember the coach or GM, BUT Hickey should do likewise.
 
Ross HAS tofire philbin...if he doesnt i will be devastated...
 
In related news, John Hammond is mulling a decision on whether to fire Dennis Nedry, the man who was behind shutting off the power, stealing the embryos, and releasing all of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. He doesn't want to make a snap decision after seeing his lawyer ripped to shreds on a toilet and his grandchildren almost eaten by Velociraptors. Jay glazer reports there just isn't anyone internally who is a good candidate to unlock the "hahaha you didn't say the magic word" hacker security measure. The dinosaurs are mostly mum, but an anonymous Dilophosuarus pledged the dinosaurs would quit on the Jurassic Park staff if they retain Nedry, pledging to "spit in that mofos eyes".
 
Sims will be off concussion protocol and Albert should be ready in two weeks, right?
Are we hopeful about the team scoring more then?

Unbelievable how bad the Dolphins are going into games.
 
It's unreal in how many ways this team is record-breaking bad.
 
Wheres the fire COYLE outrage from all these talking heads?

If only one is being fired until years end, i would rather it be coyle than philbin. This defense is missing some players still but i can feel the tuneout of coyle through the tv.

Ross has said it is HE who hires and fires the head coach and even though thats a wince, having T-BUM choose will gurantee us a yes man and not a confident, agressive alfa male coach. I see how bad things have become and now the reality of t-bum running everything looks to be a pending reality and it puts a shroud over any tiny miniscule hope i have for this teams near future.

T-Bum reminds me of that back stabbing chamberlain to the queen in The Bastard Execusioner. I have a feeling he is going to gobble as much power as he can by getting Hickey out of the way and have his vpgm badge custom made before re hickeys office is cleared out.

This season is so dark, so toxic, so sad, so maddening its like Kurt Sutter himself wrote the script for this season. Dolphins Of Anarchy. The Bastard Executive.
 
LOL. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! I have one wish. I wish Stephen Ross read my posts on this site the last 4 years. Phailbin would not have bee hired in the first place. And all of you on this site INCLUDING the Administrators NEED to tell me I was 100% right about Phailbin. Come on people, man up and admit I was right as usual.
