Kinda surprised. I thought this was going to be a good year for them.

spent a whole lot of money on a DL not doing jack...
bring back Coyle. in case someone snatches Vance next year.

Philbin was not a AAA coach a la Belichick, but there are certainly worse coaches. The players made it abundantly clear yesterday that they wouldn't play for that coaching staff though.

Bring in Suh in FA and the HC doesn't even make it out of week 5.
RE: Dolphins fire Joe Philbin - Bengal Dude - 10-05-2015
Not too surprised. I know some have been surprised that past two seasons when he survived from getting a pink slip.
RE: Dolphins fire Joe Philbin - Bengalzona - 10-05-2015
Suh/Philbin = Haynesworth/Shanahan. Only in this case, the ownership sided with their disgruntled huge-contract player rather than the coach. It will be interesting to see if Suh produces with a new coaching staff. Frankly, I don't think pampering whining players is good for the NFL. It reminds me too much of the NBA. I know what Paul Brown would have had to say about this.
BTW- I can't recall the Bengals ever releasing a coach in mid-season. Does anyone else recall this happening here?
RE: Dolphins fire Joe Philbin - StLucieBengal - 10-05-2015
Philbin was a weak coach. suh needs a strong coach. Like Schwartz was for him. Say what you want about his record but he got those guys to play .

Dave Shula and Bruce Coslet quit during their respective seasons, however I don't recall any mid season HC firings in Bengal land.

Coslett quit, but Shula was fired after that debacle in San Fransisco where they were up 21-0 and let the 49ers come back on them.

That's when coslet tanked it . He did enough all year to make sure Shula struggled. Then the 49ers game at half he just tanked it. I believe Joe Walter was the one who blew that whistle.
Shula got a shafting by his own coordinator.

Lose a game overseas, lose your job. See: Dennis Allen.

Pretty much this. There have been 12 coaches who have lost in this London series. 6 of those 12 have either been fired during or after the season.
RE: Dolphins fire Joe Philbin - fredtoast - 10-06-2015
Surprised that the new interim coach was the TE coach.
That makes it pretty clear that all the coordinators are sucking also.
RE: Dolphins fire Joe Philbin - McC - 10-06-2015
Management and/or ownership has to share a bunch of the blame. How many coaches have they had there since Shula?

Philbin was the 6th official HC for them since Shula. There have been some interim HCs sprinkled in there.
