Dolphins head coach knows he is on the hot seat; Says he didn’t come to Miami to be average
Joe Philbin is a good person, but maybe he is not a good head coach. Well the Dolphins head coach understands he was brought to Miami to lead the team to the playoffs and eventually a Super Bowl, but the former Green Bay Packers assistant is not happy. He understands he is on the hot seat, and he hopes to get out of hot water soon.
“I came here to win championships. I didn’t come here to be average and be 8-8,” Philbin told ESPN.com on Sunday. “(Owner) Steve Ross doesn’t own the team to be average. Our fans don’t want to be average. Our players don’t want to be average. So that’s what we’re here for. That’s why we invest and put the effort, the time into what we do.”
“There’s three championships right now that are out there: There’s the AFC East, there’s the AFC and there’s the NFL championship,” Philbin said. “So nothing’s been decided. I can honestly tell you sitting here we’ve had a couple of clunkers in three years. But we haven’t had a ton of clunkers where we just got manhandled from start to finish. So I’ve gone into every game thinking we’re going to win every game.”
Can Philbin get the Dolphins to the playoffs? That is the question….
