Dolphins to Name Joe Philbin Head Coach

As first reported by Adam Schefter, the next head coach of the Miami Dolphins will be Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. The Dolphins were previous involved in the Jeff Fisher derby and were also rumored to be hunting after other big name coaches (Cowher, Gruden, Billick). I have to admit Philbin kind of snuck up on me as a candidate, as I didn't hear his name much before this offseason, and he certainly lacks the pizzazz of the other names. He's not a name that will sell tickets, but winning seems to be the best long-term fan attractor.

If I had experienced what Philbin did, I suspect I'd welcome a complete change of scenery. I wish him peace.

Yeah, league MVP at QB is perilous for an offensive coordinator.

Packers will very probably promote QB coach Tom Clemens to OC.

You're probably right. But it still smells like another AJ Feeley situation and another 2 or 3 years of 8-8 at best. I don't think he'll be a great starter. But if he does go to Miami I'll hope against hope.

I would still much prefer a trade up for Luck or RG3. I really really don't care what it takes.

I do like the hire though.
