Joe Philbin probably should have been fired in 2013. There was not a clearer picture of a coach without control of his team or his locker room than Joe Philbin in 2013. Even with all that in play, with the Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin scandal long gone, the Dolphins were at one point in the driver’s seat for a Wild Card spot in the 2013 playoffs. To which they responded with losing their final two games, divisional games, and pissing away any chance to sniff a playoff berth.

Joe Philbin and his quarterback, Ryan Tannehill are a shaky 15-17 in their first two seasons together. Tannehill will make it to 2015 with the Dolphins, one way or another; Philbin might not. The team signed Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert and drafted right tackle Ja’Wuan James as well as added Knowshon Moreno in free agency but all anyone nationally is going to remember about the team is the Bully-Gate scandal of last year. One way to solve that problem; winning.
