Quote:Anyone think Philbin is gonna lose his job because of this, especially if they fail to make the playoffs?

 

 

Probably.

 

The other related question that comes to mind is whether G.M. Jeff Ireland will lose his job,  despite getting a contract extension back in September?   

 

It's easy to envision owner Stephen Ross eating Jeff Ireland's contract.   For most of the post Dan Marino era,  the Dolphins have had major P.R. problems in South Florida,   The recent situations surrounding this team likely is going to intensify the fan and media criticisms of the Dolphins organization.  

 

When Don Shula was the Dolphins HC,  this was a model NFL Franchise.  Basically, they had the popularity in South Florida that the NBA Miami Heat currently have.  In most of the 2000's, in essence the Patriots became the Dolphins and the Dolphins became the Patriots.
