I posted the last Philbin approval rating. That was comically one sided. I'm happy to post this one which should be comically one sided in the right direction!!! :up::up:
I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up too high. We will know a lot more after Thursday's game. But this does seem to be shaping up to be a special season for the interim coach.
As critical as I've been of Stephen Ross, I have to give him credit. I never thought he would make the move to fire Philbin, but he did. Big props to the Jags, Bills, and Jets for helping usher out the Philbin era in Miami.
Also, by making the move Ross accomplished the following things:
- Gives the interim coach a legitimate shot to earn the job.
- The chance to improve the coaching staff internally while still allowing for some level of continuity.
- Gives the team a shot this season - this one looked like a stretch, but now at 3-3 playoffs aren't out of the realm of possibility.
Whatever happens, the decision to fire Philbin early has saved the Dolphins season and given us all a reason to watch again. I can't overstate enough how indifferent I was about watching this team play anymore under Philbin. When I sat at the bar yesterday watching the Campbell coached team I didn't even know what to do with myself. I forgot how much fun it could be to watch the Dolphins play football.
Do you approve of the job Dan Campbell is doing as Head Coach?

So far, so good. You can say that all we did was beat up teams that we had no real business losing to, but how long has it been since we really took it to two teams in a row that way, no matter how bad they were?

I voted no.. Not because I dont like the results cause the last two weeks have been fantastically fun to watch as a Dolphin fan. We have scored 30+ points in consecutive games!!, Beat the texans who we never have before.. However we really haven't played anyone yet. Both teams are sub .500 teams. Thursday we play the best team in the league and while I think we will do better I don't see a win in New England. 31-21 kinda game. We have a tough schedule against good teams coming up so Im going to hold my praise till we see some real coaching against other winning coaches. Easy to praise winning against bad teams..
I think hes done a good job turning on the light switch however and if he can win 6-7 of the remaining games and get us to 9-7 I think he should be considered for permanent coaching. -

Helluva poll.

How can anyone not approve of an interim coach stepping into a nearly impossible situation and coaching a team that had been listless to 2 completely dominating victories? -

If the question were, "Should Miami hire Dan Campbell as head coach for 2016?" then I could see people wanting to wait and see how things play out.
And to those with the "captain obvious comments", read the OP. I knew it would be one sided. Just as I knew the Philbin poll a few weeks back would be one sided in the wrong direction. It's just a positive post and a positive poll. I know it's hard to switch gears when things were so ****ty just 3 short weeks ago. -

This proves beyond a doubt that there are certain people you can't please and shouldn't try to.

People will say "um but its the Texans and Titans" and I say, so what? Titans almost beat the 1 loss Falcon team, Texans beat the Jags, a team we lost to week two last week scoring 30+ points. Its hard to win the the NFL, and to dominate 2 weeks in a row, against any team, thats special. Thursday is a HUGE test, but I am more confident now we win than if we had Philbin.

but yes I approve of his job so far.... -
Remove the interim tag...RIGHT NOW!
I was so more down on Dolphins football than I ever possibly imagined I could be just 3 weeks ago. Sure I'm sure we won't dominate like that every week and perhaps we will see a screw up from Campbell here or there but he has shown enough potential in these first 2 game that I'm willing to take my chances. -
I swear people don't actually read stuff. :tantrum::confused2::confused1:
