    Comes across as someone who is very easy too like, poised and down to earth.

    nothing really earth shattering so far.

    Every player deserves a coach that believes in hm

    Biggest influence?

    Worcester academy... one of his classmates state senator Hart... coached by Kirk Ferentz, Mike Sherman, Ken O'Keefe (sp)... all three of those men. Won at every level with those influences. last six years with McCarthy in GB.. excellent fb coach, great human being.

    Q: Interview process, what put you over the top?

    A: Just a good chemistry between us, when he first left faciility two weeks ago today, felt strong. Felt Ross' passion to win. Good meeting with Jeff, very compatible working together... didn't care what he was in terms of the totem pole.

    Q: how long to turn team into a winner?

    A: Didn't sit down and say in 2012, we're going to win 6 games, 2013 12 games... we talked about building a foundation, a program that could delver sustained success over a period of time. Focus will be that week whoever we're playing, doesn't matter who. Not going to put raw numbers in January, Feb or March...

    Leave it to the low class South Florida media to ask him about his son.

    Q: Ross ask you about last couple of weeks and what happened, how'd you handle that?

    A: obv as a family we've endured a heart breaking loss... had a beautiful service, phenomenal, tremendous outpooring from community.. can't tell you how touched we were as a family. Still can't believe that Ross and Ireland called me back after how poorly we played. I was dejected after the playoff loss. Talking to my son Tim, he asked what are the Dolphins doing? And he said he has no idea what they are doing? He said you're going after the job aren't you? he looked at me and said your son Michael would want you to go after that job. (good stuff)...

    If you felt unsure about Philbin's presence and ability to lead men, that press conference should have eased that

    Highlights so far:

    Stephen Ross zings Jeff Fisher.

    Philbin mentions QB rating differential.

    The rest: Nice fluff.

    Joking about getting all the family on the plane as they flew down... "we're excited as can be... going to get the family down here and we're going to get immersed in the community as quickly as we can"

    Q Defensive vision?

    A great fundamentals, great pursuit, disrupt rhythm and timing of quarterback. we'll study what we do well, going to hire the best leader, teacher, motivator of men to be our defensive coordinator. not going to be one individual's defense, going to be Miami Dolphins defense

    Q: fans, what can you tell them?

    A: Football, not overly complicated. Counting to four, you can play in the packer offense. It's a people game, we're all chasing the same prize. Everyone wants to win. Excellent football players, high character guys, that have a will to win. Going to build that team.

    Q: To Ross: biggest selling point for Philbin

    A; his orgainzation, his plan, to make us a winner. That's what it's all about. WHo he is as a person, what he can do for this organization, is why he's our head coach

    Q:; packer way?

    A: no packers on this roster, not one person that is going to make us a winning football team

    Carl Peterson not involved in final decision... it was between him and Jeff... Hopefully won't have to go thru this process again. All six guys kind of turned into one... nothing stood out... wanted to meet with the guy in the end who'd be the coach (MCcoy was the guy in the end wasn't he?)_

    Joe very strong person, my heart goes out to him, you find out what a person is all about in those times... thinks he's still going to have problems going thru it.

    Omar good q... how much different is this for you from your business in hiring a person?

    Ross says that's a good q. Football is a lot different. Difference between winning and losing is so small. Wanted to get the guy who showed he'd been a winner before. Nobody showed that more than Joe Philbin

    holy bro, take off the aqua tinted glasses. that was textbook. not bad, not great...text book. tackle, good fundamentals, play to strengths, be a team not individuals, high character, help the community, restore winning.

    i mean seriously, what did you expect him to say? thats what I would have said.

    Its not as much as what he said, it was about his presence, which is what I was addressing. Granted he doesn't have a mullet and barely .500 record.
