Doubt it...that's usually for the well run organizations that don't have embarrassing lockeroom scandals.

You should check Dave Hyde's Twitter account. The 2014 questions are going to be minimal at best, IMO. Philbin will be in "deflect, deflect, deflect" mode.

RoninFin4subscriberHyde also tweeted there's only 3 local media guys in Indy. So, if it's mostly national and/or out of market media guys covering this, I'd imagine they're not really going to care much about Miami in 2014 at this point.

So the big-bad meany media got it wrong? You're saying the org wanted the coach front and center first?
"The initial roster of coach/G.M. press conferences to be conducted at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis included new Dolphins G.M. Dennis Hickey — but excluded coach Joe Philbin.
Philbin has now been added to the list."

Today - Me & every other Dolfan : "Lies!!!"
Rocky RaccoonmoderatorPhilbin said back when all this happened in November that he would address the media when the report was finished. This is what he was talking about.
is it available online to view?

I didn't see it... but PFT, who has been quite harsh on the Fins... seemed to think the interview with Philbin was a positive one:

Philbin said that he is responsible for the team. But every question, he would just answer he didn't know what was happening.
Q"why was incognito made a leader after the golf course incident?"
A"we have a leadership council and he wasn't on it"
it was just awkward, the guy in charge of the team has no clue whats happening with the team
ckparrotheadmoderatorAs awkward and as bad as it seemed, I thought it was important for the purpose of closure. Essentially all he needed to do was go up there and not be a complete disaster, and he would have achieved something positive. I think he did that.
Getting up in front of the media and allowing them to extract their pound of flesh will help the Dolphins achieve some measure of closure on the whole thing. It won't be right now, right in this hour. But a week from now?
Where's the story a week from now? You won't have media griping anymore and sending open letters talking about how Philbin needs to get in front of them and answer some hard questions. Hell I doubt he'll even have to answer more than a question or two about this subject at the owners meetings now.
The media are upset in part because they know the movie just ended unsatisfactorily...but ended all the same.

Where did you come up with that? What he said (and I'm paraphrasing) is that the leadership council is elected by the players and in respect to that process he didn't override Richie's election to the council.

VManissubscriberLike him or hate, Philbin is certainly a man of integrity. When asked about cutting Richie after the golf incident he could have easily thrown Ireland under the bus but instead he owned the decision as well.

Maybe he is or maybe he isn't but anyone could say that after the fact. All depends on your interpretation.
