Never been so happy about a firing. I feel like I just went to the bathroom finally........

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Statement from Joe Philbin:

“I would like to thank Mike for his contributions to the Miami Dolphins. Mike has been a mentor to me throughout my coaching career, dating back to 1979. He is a man of great integrity, dedicated to his family, his team, his players and his profession. On behalf of the entire Miami Dolphins organization I want to wish Mike and his family the very best in the future.”

We can now safely conclude that Joe Philbin is being retained.

No doubt. And he forgot to add" But he can't coach NFL Football worth a Fuk!" I still remember several 4and 1 plays and he threw the ball!! Over and over. The man was obtuse. Sorry probably a nice man , but he needed to go.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Well good news. Not great still have dish rag as or HC. Hopefully we can get a good OC. I hope McDaniels would leave NE for our team. Ph well wishfull thinking

Lets get a OC that can step in as HC if need be next season........Hint Hint

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

NEXT! Who could it be? I guess that means Philbin is staying and probably Ireland. STUPID!

Looks like we will be getting another WCO OC....

Rick Dennison, Gary Kubiak, Kyle Shanahan

Go get KUBIAK!

Philbin is safe. Ireland is still TBD....stand by.

Ireland gets fired!

It mystifies me how some Dolfans could think Ireland has been doing a good job. SMH...

Who knows......Maybe he will search for a new GM and Ross will let them take the heat for firing Philbin. But I doubt it. The OC Coaching was the worst spot this season , my only problem is why TF would Philbin let him do it? So why does he get to stay if he liked it so much?

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Although...how do you retain the entire staff outside of the OC and just fire the GM?

That's kind of hard to scout a new GM....UNLESS

You hire a team president with the GM and HC reporting to him. Still very tricky.

This whole probation thing is ridiculous. Ireland has not performed so he needs to go.

The ONLY way anything changes is if we hire the "President" or "Czar" for both Philbin and Ireland to report to...

But then were back to the Wannstedt/Speilman back and forth. Your the boss...now your the boss...no, let's hire Dan Marino to be the boss. No, I changed my mind....Stupid. It's just avoiding the inevitable.

I still believe we drafted tannehill because of philbin.


Id be happy if we fired ireland and kept philbin.

Totally different. GM and HC report to a football boss, a "weak GM" model.

Now the problem is hiring a good OC when they may believe that Philbin has only one year to prove himself or he and his whole staff maybe gone. Is there a good OC out there who is willing to risk a one year gig?

Only because Marino quit though....I just don't want to see ireland scouting and recommending....BLA!

Window dressing on the Ireland circus changes.

Big deal.

Best comment on the situation!

Win 1 of the last 2 games and in. The defense played well enough. The offense was horrible! so who should go, the offense.

The talent is there.

for what we spent on D it didn't do anything special.

Refreshing news. Hope we land a savvy OC...not a dinosaur with old fashioned offensive concepts. One who is flexible and won't be happy with an offense that barely can score 20 points per game.

I agree........That was all Philbin after Sherman talked him into it. Maybe Sherman needs to be GM not OC..........LOL only kidding.
Too many pass plays on 4th and 1 for me. God awful play calling.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Philbin should be fired, and let him take his inept offense with him! As long as he's the HC they won't be going anywhere.

Philbin did well in Green Bay......maybe make him the OC. Seriously what bothers me about Philbin is not his style or the results, its the fact that Ross had to PUSH him to fire Sherman or that he didn't change the bad play calls himself when they came out. 4th and 1 and he calls a long pass when it didn't work twice before.....that's kinda on Philbin.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Treasure, it's not the PASSES on 4th and 1 or less than 1. It's the

1) Snap the ball
2) Quarterback runs back FIVE YARDS where
3) THE RUNNING BACK IS STANDING THERE NOT HAVING MOVED AT THE SNAP.
4) Quarterback then HANDS THE BALL OFF TO THE RUNNING BACK.

Results: the RB is tackled three yards BEHIND the line of scrimmage.

I wish the hell they WOULD HAVE THROWN SOME PASSES RATHER THAN this idiotic sh*t!

At least that would have been a play with at least a CHANCE of succeeding.

go to nfl.com. Click on Scores
Then click on Regular Season
Then click on any week

Then click on the Dolphin game "Game Center"

Then click on "Drive Chart"

Then click on "Analyze"

Then click on "Play by Play."

Now look and see what the Dolphins did in every 4th and short situation and you will see that they inevitably ran with the result being a two yard LOSS.

NO QUARTERBACK SNEAKS AT ALL!

San Francisco WON ITS PLAYOFF GAME YESTERDAY ON SHORT YARDAGE QB SNEAKS.

IMO Sherman's biggest problems were, he never seemed to gameplan around the opponents weakness, and he never seemed to make in game adjustments. His individual play calling was nothing special, but to second guess every play that didn't work out is real easy from the comfort of your own couch......

That's just bad coaching. I'm talking about play calling period. Bad Bad , and just made no sense. If I'm at home scratching my head WTF isn't Philbin second guessing him? That's what bothers me , but maybe he just couldn't? Maybe now we will see the real Joe Philbin?

He needs to throw away the index cards and get REAL. I like him. He knows his shit , I'm hoping Sherman was holding him back.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

holic, this is not second guess EVERY play, it's second guessing the 4th and 1 yard plays and then ONLY BECAUSE HE DOES THE SAME FRIGGING FAILING PLAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
