    Hey, remember during Hard Knocks when people were saying Philbin wouldn't be able to get along with the players because of his personality?

    <3 Coach Philbin.

    That's cool, coach sounds like a guy you want to play for. Work your butt off and don't be a pain, he'll take care of you.

    yeah looks like first year head coaches need some experience as well in regard of player handling etc.

    "It's going to translate into him playing the game a little bit quicker and a little bit faster,'' Philbin said..

    Yup..He was trying to catch up to the tempo all year last year, that should improve, his lighter weight will work well with that.

    No he really didn't.

    After every victory last year, he would dance a jig for the players. It wasn't ever filmed with the speech in the locker room, because that was for the players only.

    Most players bought in and respected Philbin pretty quickly last year.

    A-joe-men.

    I love this story in so many ways! I am glad we missed out on Harbaugh and Fisher, I think Philbin is the right guy for the job and I am glad we have him!

    well, looking from his press conferences he looks pretty strong in the chest area, maybe it would not be that bad, even that cheesy skin from wisconsin should be gone by now

    As long as the players work hard first, that's the key.

    Good move by the coach.

    I liked what he said about Tannehill being the first to jump in the pool and how he never would have done that last year but is comfortable with the team this year.

    I like this team a lot. Love the youth and the players; love the coach. But, bottom line is he has to win.

    And, really, I think the season (aside from catastrophic injuries) will come down to how well the offensive line plays - most specifically, I think the season hinges principally on Jonathan Martin; but the whole line has to do well in the running and pass pro game. If they do well, I think we are a 10-6 team. Ryan will have good games, be better than last year but will still make some mistakes that may be costly.

    Easy there. Harbaugh brought his team to the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl in his first two seasons as a Head Coach. I like Philbin as much as the next guy, but yeah.

    i love me some Jim Harbaugh..His great success was easily predictable..

    Philbins skills as a coach was not on display like those of Harbaugh, I'm hoping he's the man..Fin-d last year made me see a few things that I was missing..I really like his demeanor on the sideline, seems like a tough sob when the bullets start firing.

    I think there's some more things to consider or think about.

    - Slick is right, and Harbaugh didn't have to build much of the roster, Philbin certainly has had to, considering the previous Sparano/Parcells Patented: 3 Points And A Cloud of Dust Offense requires virtually opposite type players.
    - IMO, Harbaugh's emotions are going to get the better of him at some point. Harbaugh is a bit of kooky guy. His team has bought in, but I don't think he could hold them through a non winning season. Basically, I think, his personality only works while the team wins. At least, that's what always seems to happen with flamboyant (not gay) coaches. Just compare guys like Gruden, Glanville, Rex Ryan to more stoic guys like Dungy, Coughlin, Cowher. Based on personality (not coaching success) which group does Harbaugh fit better with and which does Philbin fit better with?

    He really doesn't have to be a lot quicker to make a significant difference. I'm sure there are many plays per game that a 2-3 tenths of a second would make the difference between success and failure. I'm hoping he is just that little bit quicker.

    Certainly agree with you...I've had this thought on Harbaugh as well in SF....But if they have enough success before the winning seasons weaken the roster, he may attain "trust in coach" status from the players. Certainly, he had a nice launching point when he got there.

    Man, I can't believe there hasn't been one joke or anecdote on the Dolphins going for a swim! I am greatly disappointed in you all! I have a vision of the whole pod breaching and flailing through the air... though there are probably a few orca in there as well.

    I'm all in on Philbin and Tannehill, and Ireland for that matter.

    Disagree on Harbaugh..The guy cares for his players and is a great leader, would of given up drafts picks for him..I don't see the weaknesses you speak of..
