The party's over for Philbin and company

And you've been waiting a year to be able to say that.

Not saying I disagree, but how Philbin adjusts is going to determine whether you are right. It's not how you act when things are going well, it's how you adjust when things are going bad

To be fair, I think he has done some good things and can be good coach. However, he has grown at all as a HC and I just hate how uncreative and rigid he is.

I still am not wanting to blow **** up.
 
If losing tomorrow to the Bengals = the beginning of the end of Ireland with the Dolphins then, sorry, I'm rooting for us to lose.

Dude has sent this franchise back nearly a decade with the way he's run the fins.

Loss tomorrow = DONE. Season done, GM done, coaching staff most likely done.

The only thing that puts a new spin on our season tomorrow is a BIG win. Drop 40 points on... oh, they have a good defense. Yup, all hands, brace for impact.

Good... then I might not be the only person who thinks a loss tomorrow might actually end up being a positive for this team in the long run

Two things.

One, the players flat out QUIT on Tony at the end of 2010. Flat out QUIT. That's why I wanted him gone and was furious when he was extended.

Two, tomorrow night's game is so critical I can't even put it into words how badly the team needs to win. A win tomorrow is everything, not because it cures the ills -- it doesn't -- but because a loss is Chernobyl.

We need a Chernobyl level event for Ross to realize that this team as currently constructed is a disaster and to put aside all personal loyalty and go get a winner. My vote? AJ Smith and Lovie Smith.

Charger fans wanted Smith gone in the worst way... He destroyed that team by canning Schottenheimer after a 14-2 season and replacing him with NORV. No thanks.

Give me Jay if we are going for a Gruden. If you want respect from the players, you don't want Jon. He was absolutely loathed by his players in Tampa. Remember when they had to bench Keyshawn Johnson for several games because of insubordination?

And Derrick Brooks and others have some absolutely incredibly awful things to say about the way he treated them. Be careful what you wish for.

Sign me up too. Everything that dude touches football-wise turns to gold.
 
People will always blame the method when it doesn't work. Yet, embrace it when it does.

Three game win streak and everyone was on the Philbin wagon all the way to the playoffs. No more meatball or fat tuna. Philbin calm, cool approach was all the rave in town.

4 game losing streak and now Philbin isint enough rah-rah on the side lines. He needs to start kicking chairs and getting players faces....

Cake and eat?

I've said all along that Philbin's approach wouldn't work if they didn't start winning consistently fast... I'm not going to lie, I was excited by the start. They got me. I thought things might be different. I still wasn't all in on Philbin though. He isn't a kind of guy that really excites you. He is boring as all hell, and when I saw the post game speeches with him reading off a crib sheet, it really didn't sit with me well. A victory speech is supposed to come from the heart. It's supposed to be passionate and speak to the players like men, but here was reading off a cheat sheet?

Any Harbaugh brothers left?

Heck, I'd take their dad. Isn't he just 80 or something??
 
I would be very, very, very hesitant to hire a college head coach. Their track record when going to the pros isn't very good -- even the very best in college now, Saban, couldn't cut it as a pro head coach. Meanwhile, there are many successful guys that have made the transition in the opposite direction.

David Shaw (Stanford) apparently has a heavy NFL background...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Shaw_(American_football)

He played under Denny Green and Bill Walsh. He coached with Harbaugh at University of San Diego and at Stanford.

He also spent 9 years in the NFL as an assistant coach with the Raiders and Eagles, and was QB coach for the Ravens in the early 2000s. I think he would be a good fit. A bright guy who knows how to coach NFL quality QB talent like Luck. I've seen some interviews with the guy and he is pretty impressive.
