I thought a lot of things and they were all wrong.

There's nothing to rehash, because I was wrong top to bottom on him. I'm sorry.

Carry on.

You thought people would care about this...

You were wrong.

I so badly don't want to let this go, but in honor of what happened this afternoon...I will.

Hey go for it. I was wrong.

Meh. That joke of a head coach is gone. Its over. Time to move on.
Besides, I've been wrong before too....probably.

I can respect someone who admits when they were wrong. This wont be a "Flame Fin D" thread after all :lol:

I'm just glad everyone now sees how much he was holding this team back. I'm actually keeping him around may have helped ruin Tannehill.

On the flipside you more than made up for it in your defending tannehill the last two years from all the unwarranted bashing

If you have nothing nice to say....its just going to be deleted anyway. If you dont like someone, utilize the block option.

I've never been wrong. I thought I was wrong once, but I was wrong.

When are you going to apologize for being a mets fan :)

Your apology is too meek and queasy. It lacks emotion, passion and intensity. We'll need to replace it with the Dan Campbell of apologies.

I defended philbin as well...I hoped he would succeed he did not and his tenure here was pretty much and abject failure...I won't make the mistake of rooting for a nice guy when so many signs point to him as the problem..lesson learned.

Not with that attitude.

What's there to apologize for? 2-0!

That's how you man up, Fin D!

Still the sharpest...

well Fin, we go back real far on this one..

Actually, I think there was a lot to like and respect about Philbin as a coach. He was worth defending.

Where I think Philbin failed was in his man-management. So Dan Campbell has been able to take the players and schemes that Philbin was the architect of and then put them together in a way that worked (for one game so far).

Maybe to put it in an Historical perspective, Philbin was like George McClellan who created the Army of the Potomac, but then got queasy about using the Army. But it then needed a Grant to take the well built Army and kick butt with it.

Can't stand bandwaggoners. Now that it appears that Campbell "could" be a success (one game, is after all, just one game) now you want to jump on the Campbell waggon. You follow whoever is the "official" team person at the time, as to never appear out of tune with the franchise - the ultimate "blind ass homer".

Maybe you fool others on this board, but not me.

lol, I didn't say anything about Campbell. Reading is fundamental...so maybe you should try it.

Props to you for admitting it, Fin D. I liked Wanny the first few years and defended him in many of the same ways. Felt that we just needed a QB. I was wrong then, too.

I've disliked all of our coaches since then, so I'll be happy to be wrong when I eventually am :lol:

Hey Tony, no worries...I too defended Philbin and just thought we needed additional players to finish the puzzle

There is nothing wrong with trying to see the best in folks. Some of us could stand to do it a little more often. In the end, it didn't work out. We all move on. :up:

Well, you've certainly got me fooled. How exactly could Fin D, being part of such a small minority wanting to give Philbin more time, be a bandwagoner? I'm not sure you understand what that term actually means.

I think that the poster is suggesting that Fin D is now a Campbell homer, since the team did well yesterday. I think he's wrong, but I think that's his suggestion.
