Why did Ross hire Joe Philbin?

There was not one game this year or 2012, where I said "WOW!", Philbin has really come up with an outstanding game plan. Nor did I see any half time adjustments that made me say "Damn!" That was an awesome adjustment! How anyone can defend the averageness that is Joe Philbin I just don't understand. I thought when he was hired that just maybe Miami would have a somewhat potent offense based on what was said that of Philbin's accomplishments at GB, but that was just smoke and mirrors, fool's gold. Name one trully unique offensive play or formation that Philbin unvieled. At least Sparano came up with the Wild Cat and when it was first used, Belichick was totally flamoxied. Granted, most teams soon fiigured it out, yet there are still teams that use it and keep that in their playbook. I don't see many teams wanting to copy Miami's offense.
 
Philbin's most innovative idea? Giving the players Thursday off instead of Mondays. WoW! Oh, he also has them wear some type of bio-metric gizmo which shows how much they sweat.
 
not gonna be popular for this opinion, but... pity. if Ross would've gone thru a coach-search like he has with his GM-search, mbg Philbin doesn't get hired

I was listening to Mike & Mike this morning. They interviewed Jim Caldwell and revealed that Lions ownership hired him because Caldwell asserted some platitude stipulating that "the Lions are ready to win now" whereas other candidates offered a 3 or 4 year visionary plan. If I were a Lions fan I would be upset if Whisenhunt did not get the job because he had the audacity to come to the interview prepared and put forth a long term vision for the team.

Seriously, when is this crap going to stop? Philbin was hired because he came to the interview prepared and presented a long term vision for the team. And we are supposed to believe that Ross is so clueless as to be taken in by a ruse? I think we all like the Lazor hire and if you listen to his press conferences he made it clear that he wanted to work with Philbin, even under the condition that he would not be allowed to bring his own coaches with him. I suppose Lazor was also taken in by Philbin's ruse when he could've gone to Detroit or continued to work for Chip Kelly. And he took the job also knowing, that in theory, Philbin's job security is in jeopardy.

I think people want to work for Philbin precisely because he is a delegator as opposed to a micromanager. I think that right now Philbin deserves the benefit of the doubt now that the stench of Ireland has finally been purged from the organization.

Not being able to or being willing to give up any ability to make this team a winner is a disadvantage to this team. They all need to take their self preservation and stick it where the sun does not shine. Until this owner realizes it we are doomed as fans to mediocre teams
 
we improved a win. we know that our philbin does not do the play calling he only coaches. he brought his buddies in. we had an OC brought in with a little different thought process than him. we were on a 3 year plan. lets see what year 3 does. im happy watching my boys compete. im not content on watching them compete, but it beats us not having a chance in game from the kickoff. we could've easily won double digit games. lets see if philbin can lead and his coaches can coach.
