    Never got off.

    Poor in-game strategist and adjustments.
    Stubborn
    Assembled a poor staff.
    Currently 15-16
    On the brink of 2 non-playoff seasons.

    It's his 2nd season and he will likely have a winning record in spite of the Martin bullying saga. I think he's shown enough to get another season or two. Get him a new GM and I think he will be fine.

    The train is pretty full. Ireland is driving it. Philbin is right there sitting next to him. Sherman is loading the coals. Coyle is probably sitting in the caboose.

    Why does he continue to get praise for the Martin saga? Charles Clay makes an incredible play and we don't get a PI called on us that equals 2 wins and he's keeping this team together?

    This team hasn't changed since last year.

    Sure it has. Last years team won 7 games. This team has 8 wins. As far as the Martin saga, this team could easily be competing for a top 10 pick but instead they've been competing for playoffs.

    I know you're a hater and nothing is going to change your mind.

    "All aboard.. Please explain why.."

    What do you mean "why"? any argument to fire Philbin is just as strong as one for keeping him. I don't see any obvious, clear and convincing reason why Philbin should not be fired... Im not saying he should be. but I can certainly understand if he was...

    it seems you consider this a completely absurd notion and entirely and convincingly wrong. sorry I don't see it as airtight as you seem to see it.

    We? I was never off it to begin with. But I'll say this much tho, Philbin would be a world class poker player. His face never changes.

    This is a game Miami had to win for the playoffs. They were skunked, from beginning to end. Teams that play up-to or down-to their competition reveal an issue with coaching.

    I've been saying this for months, including during our hot streak, but we are not a well coached team. Philbin made a lot of statements when he was hired about what kind of team we would be...and after 2 years none of those are true.

    Imo he is not the answer.

    Out coached again.

    Failed to make adjustments prior to and during the game

    put Tannehill in unnecessary position of being hurt when game was obviously out of reach

    failed to adjust defense to tee up on buffalo when their receivers went down.....just about every play should have been a blitz

    and the biggest and most telling (in his own words) "Obviously swagger, doesn't fit us, what so ever"

    Couldn't have said it better

    This. So much this Dupree. Well said.

    I've been saying it for weeks now.

    Anyone find it odd our 2 min offense runs so well, but our opening, scripted offensive plays are so bad?

    Sherman is a mega hurdle for this offense to clear. And because Philbin loves him and his stubborness refuses to see that, he should receive blame too.

    This all feels a lot like the Wanny game in Minnesota, he never really recovered after that loss.

    So just so I'm caught up, we should fire everyone after every loss, right? That's the way it works around here?

    Philbin is in over his head. He's a poor head coach. It's obvious how unprepared we are each week. He has no ability to adjust.

    Yes. We barely won the last two weeks. We were saved by about an inch of sideline paint and a Charles clay miracle. Philbin is not an asset. He doesn't add to the team. He's just mediocre and he assembled a pathetic staff around him.

    Maybe one day Philbin will get "it" like Ron Rivera but I'm not going to hold my breath.

    If Rivera were our coach, most of our fanbase would have wanted him fired after back to back losing seasons. Our coach is likely going to have a winning record in his 2nd season and people want to round up the lynch mob.

    I'm not sure if Philbin will pan out or not but I think you need to give a HC 3-4 years before making a change. After 5 years, amazingly, some people don't see the problem with Ireland. It's actually a pretty crazy standard.

    LOL at "barely winning." Give me a break. The team has also "barely lost" a lot this year too. I don't give a crap how much we win by, as long as win.

    I don't know why I even bother with these knee-jerk threads.

    Don't get me wrong, abysmal display today, but we've won impressive games too.

    Hostile stadium, bad weather, division rival. We shat the bed. Not the fist team to do that, won't be the last.

    2nd year coach, 2nd year QB, piecemeal OL. Never thought we turned the corner, love our guys, love out coach. Continuity builds dynasty's, Philbin needs 2 more years to accurately judge. I'd say this year was "OK" for any coach. Better teams have done worse.

    Rivera changed his coaching style. Now they're probably the #2 seed. If Philbin doesn't change, he'll continue to get outcoached.

    hey say what you want about Wanny but at least he had our guys ready to play , we had good running game we had better olinemen , we had way better tightends in fact we had three good ones if you include Ed Perry . we had bad games with every coach so this isn't new . what is bad is the fact we are giving up 24 points a game and we were lucky not good in the wins.

    Philbin needs to make changes or we will be worse next year. if Phlbin doesn't make changes then I would fire him .

    I think coaches get too much credit when a team wins and far too much blame when the team losses.

    Today the players on the field for the Dolphins were simply outplayed by a team who wanted it more than they did. No one on the offense or defense played effective throughout the game. Coaches can only call the plays and it is then up to the players to make a play on the field.

    Today, the players didn't step up and make any plays to keep the Dolphins in the game. They missed tackles and let the Bills offense off the hook, time after time. The Dolphins offense did absolutely nothing all day long. Tannehill was under constant pressure throughout the game and even when he was able to throw the ball, the receivers didn't make the catches or Tannehill was off on his throws.

    The OL and the RB's could just have stayed in Miami and watched the game on TV and they would have been about as effective as they were in the game itself.

    So while I remain iffy on Philbin as the Dolphins HC, as I have been since he first got the job. I certainly don't blame him or any of the other coaches for the pathetic game this football team played today. That was 100% the fault of the players on the field, IMO.
