Can you tell me one thing you have noticed Coach Philbin does well?

He lacks any kind of motivation. Week after week the team looks completely lost, constantly making last second subsitutions, and calling random, odd time outs. The team looks very un-prepared every week.

Did anyone else notice a couple of our defensive playmakers ( Wake, Starks) were on the sideline during pivotal possessoins last night?

Whenever the cameras focus on Philbin he is never COACHING. He is never communicating, the only thing he does it clap his hands the way 80 years old clap at operas.

I understand he receives a lot of praise for being a good person and demanding the best out of everyone. But look at what has hapend to our team since he has taken over. Absolute turmoil in the locker room....


It's very frustrating to not see any positive results!
 
He is in over his head. I am pretty sure Philibin has meetings with Ireland about who to get rid of and who to keep.
Philibin did not like the leadership council of last year so they got rid of them and put Richie in power that's on them..
The dolphins keep bringing coaches with zero nfl head coaching experience that has to change...

Word of advice: Ross should stop looking into Philbin’s eyes and look instead to the football field where the Dolphins look rudderless.

More advice: Instead of listening to his coach’s voice, he should listen to the fans who are saying, “If you are going to start over, Mr. Ross, start over from the ground up. Don’t offer half solutions.”

If Ross turns Ireland into his scapegoat after this season, he would be making basically the same mistake he made last year. Last year, Ross fired Tony Sparano and kept the general manager who had worked with the coach since 2008.

So Ross decided it was Sparano’s fault the Dolphins were failing and not Ireland’s. Now, if he lowers the guillotine on Ireland but spares Philbin and his staff, once again the Dolphins would be an uneven organization.

By that I mean the Dolphins wouldn’t be hiring a general manager and coach who are in synch. They would be hiring a general manager who has to accept the current coach, just like this time around they hired a coach who could accept working with Ireland.

And what might that mean? The general manager equivalent of Jeff Fisher or other experienced personnel men will decline the chance to come to Miami.

Ross on Monday spoke of two committees that will advise him on what to do next. I’m not on that committee. But here’s my advice:

Ask questions, sir.

Ask why Dion Jordan, your third overall draft pick, plays only sparingly.

Why your two high-round rookie corners don’t play but you trust Nolan Carroll, who the last coaching staff figured out was not good enough but is playing despite being not good enough.

Ask why this defense misses so many tackles. Still.

Ask why the offense has no identity. I mean, seriously, what are the Dolphins really good at doing offensively?

Do they use possession passing really well? No.

Do they run the football really well and stick with it? No.

Do they spread defenses out and use their deep threat Mike Wallace to strike fear? Well, that was the plan. But unfortunately, it was Ireland’s plan.

And the coaching staff apparently didn’t get the memo.

About the Dolphins coaching staff: Offensive coordinator Mike Sherman seemed out of tricks by the middle of the first half. His team was down 15-0 and the Bucs had figured out the Miami snap count, figured out your love of slant routes, and figured out your love of the wide receiver screen.

This is a terrible time for the Dolphins. And Ross seems prepared to address the terrible as well as possible. The hope is he doesn’t settle for incomplete fixes.

Philbin absolutely sucks.

The only way this gets turned around is if the cupboard is cleaned out and restocked.

Time for everyone to go at seasons end.
 
What does he do during the games? It's obvious sherman and mccoy are calling the whole game. Philbin does absolutely nothing except pace the sidelines with that agape look on his face. He looks and acts like an actor portraying a head coach. I have never seen a coach that does so little during the games.
 
My concern is can we trust Ross enough to make the right moves here. Just my opinion, but Ireland and Philbin BOTH need to go. He should have learned from the Ireland-Harbaugh-Sparano fiasco where he ended up with egg on his face.

And then instead of dumping Irleand, he kept him to pick a new coach (and some question if Philbin was even Irelands guy). If Ross wants to get this going in the right direction, you need to start over. No one necessarily likes it, but it has to be done here. Too many fires, too much damage done for anything worth saving.
 
Brandon Marshall, Chad Johnson, Richie Incognito, Jon Martin, Bryant Mckinnie, Mike Pouncey.

These names have been in the headlines just in the last 2 years...and not for doing anything good on the field!

DISGRACE!
 
I can't tell you what Philbin does well. He is OK and everything but I can't think of anything that defines him.
 
I have nothing bad to say about him as a person. And he was clearly a great OC with the Packers.

But not a good head coach, and it starts with his staff. Mike Sherman and his son in law, brutal.

We can't even say with certainty that philbin was great with GB.

Philbin and his staff are just weak. The team he and his staff coached are weak. It should be clear as day by now.
