RT @flasportsbuzz: Odd to hear a player say his coach has caused a distraction. But Philbin brought this on himself
RT @ArmandoSalguero: Tannehill says he wishes Philbin would be handling the QB question differently. "Honestly, yes..," he said.
Philbin has to be the dumbest coach in the league. Nice pairing, him and Ross.

As I was saying, I hope they lose to Oakland and he gets fired, giving Lazor a 13 game look see......
I really think Philbin dumbs this gameplan down....you can tell by the quotes from the team....
He has lost this team already by Week 3.....smh...Pandarilla likes this. -

Philbin really sucks.

Unreal.

At least Tannehill shows some balls to publicly admit he is displeased with his coach. Respect for him there.
Now show me you got them on the field and pick up your ****.
Philbin could be losing the players.SICK, Griese's Glasses and MAFishFan like this. -
Taking aside the media creating it into probably a little bit of a bigger deal than it is, how can Joe Philbin show such a stunning aversion to reality? That's what I don't get and it's a really bad sign.

Unnnnbelievable. -
I guess this kills any ideas that held out hope that the coach was sending a message to his QB.

I'm not sure why it's so inconceivable that Philbin knew he had a meeting with his coaches the following day to discuss whether Tannehill would continue to start, which made the issue uncertain, and he simply communicated that uncertainty to the media, likely in part to signal more loudly to his QB that he needs to improve.
Tannehill on the other hand should be saying something like, "well with the way I've been playing, I'm not surprised it's an issue -- it'll be up to me to go out there and get onto more solid ground with my head coach." Instead, Tannehill's talking about what Philbin is doing. -
If Philbin thinks this is motivational, it's not. It might make Ryan think, damn, I really need to play better. However at the same time all it does is creat a disctraction as Ryan pointed out, not just for himself, but the entire team.
It's just incredibly stupid. The only reason Philbin should have said anythign about changing QB's, is if he was actually changing QB's. You aren't outsmarting anyone but yourself here Joe.Bpk likes this. -
His response, "Geno Smith is our starter and all the players believe in him" And Geno Smith has to be on a shorter leash than TannehillPandarilla, unifiedtheory, Griese's Glasses and 5 others like this. -
Sabotage is what they call this. Philbin is sabotaging our season with his decision making

Folks, the "distraction" for the team is already there. It's called "your QB isn't playing anywhere near well enough for the team to win." The fact that the head coach simply calls attention to it publicly doesn't make it any more a distraction.
-
Because what the head coach is doing, is incredibly stupid. See my post above.
It's quite obvious the players are turning on Philbin. Tannehill's speaking out helps to confirm that. He's done nothign in the media by say the right things in his 3 years here, and now he's turning on the coach and stating his displeasure just as many other players apparently have in the locker room based on the reporting we see/hear.
If Philbin knew he was having a meeting later in the day to discuss the QB, when asked the question about who's starting his only response should have been "At this point in time Ryan is our starter, but we continue to evaluate each postion each week" DONE. Problem solved. No unnecessary controversy. Then if later in the day, or week they decide to change, he simply just makes a statement saying at this point in time we believe Ryan needs some time to further process the offense, and we're turning to Matt Moore at this time as we believe he gives us a better chance to win right now.
Done. Problem solved. Quick. Clean, nobody thrown under the bus.
Apparently that concept is too hard for our head coach to grasp. -

If this does happen, I'd go with Kacy Rodgers. Not only is he the longest tenured, and probably most universally respected coach we have, but (and I hate to say this) his being black gives you a quick way to satisfy the Rooney Rule so you can go full bore after Harbaugh/Malzahn imemdiately -
I get that maybe he wanted to maintain some consistency in how he answers questions, and maybe he wanted to make some broader point to his team about how the quarterback is accountable like everyone else, but after the story blew up you think he would at least try to put things out...MAFishFan and Dol-Fan Dupree like this. -
Coyle is a pretty good coach. I'm not sure of the nature of the complaints from this last game, but he's one of the few coaches on the roster I'd actually want to be considered for retention next year.

You don't need to be a coordinator to be a head coach. Especially an interim head coach. You're better off leaving the coordinators be, let them continue what their doing without adding the additional responsibility. Rodgers has a lot less responsibility during the week. -
-
-
But we're talking about an interim coach, who simply needs to grab the respect of the players and figure out when to call timeout or when to challenge. Let the coordinators do their jobs.
