start with 2 games on the road. then get your head handed to you by a division rival in your home opener. Then after a 4pm game last Sunday, get on a red-eye to England, spend a week there and get smoked by yet another division opponent, hop the red-eye back to America and then get to drag your jet-lagged ass into the office this morning to get fired. Nice.

Better to see how a young Assistant they like does with more responsibility than to get your whole staff/roster to adjust to a new re-tread.

I hope Philbin was able to load up on duty free at Heathrow before he got his pink slip.
I didn't realize it was that Dan Campbell

Such is a coach killer

He wore sneakers to practice to show his discontent for two gap defense. He also got Schwartz fired in Detroit

Doesn't seem that long ago that he was playing for the us, then the Cowboys, as an awesome blocking TE.

yep something tells me that shop at Heathrow needs to order more scotch this morning...
Check this story out  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/5/2015 12:53 pm : link
http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/sources-say-tension-with-dolphins-had-been-mounting-for-weeks-in-practice/

Frustrations have been mounting for weeks, and escalated Saturday during practice prior to the game. Philbin has also been struggling on how to handle his franchise quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, who had been rattled even in practice sessions.

On Saturday during practice, Tannehill, after a couple of practice squad players forced turnovers, Tannehill made negative comments toward them, including saying: “Enjoy your practice squad paycheck, enjoy your practice squad trophy.”

Sources say this has been going on for the past few weeks as the practice squad players have been intercepting Tannehill and frustrating the former Texas A&M wide receiver turned quarterback.

Philbin told the practice squad players to take it easy on Tannehill to not affect the young quarterback’s confidence.

However, that didn’t prove to be an effective strategy.
Yeah, that kind of nonsense should get you fired  
jcn56 : 10/5/2015 12:57 pm : link
Take it easy on him?!
Can you imagine your QB saying this?  
AP in Halfmoon : 10/5/2015 1:05 pm : link
“Enjoy your practice squad paycheck, enjoy your practice squad trophy.”

Reading that horror story makes me appreciate Eli all the more.
Good  
NNJ Tom : 10/5/2015 1:06 pm : link
They will be phoning it in by mid-Dec making it an easy win for the G-Men.
Tannehill takes a beating in Miami  
HomerJones45 : 10/5/2015 1:07 pm : link
and Philbin was over his head.

I'll always feel bad for Philbin  
arniefez : 10/5/2015 1:34 pm : link
but he seems out of place in the NFL. He seems better suited for a college program that's not an NFL farm team.

My impression is that he's probably a career coordinator or low level college coach. I bet he knows his Xs and Os, but being a head coach is about managing egos and personalities, and the way he did that in Miami was to round up anyone with a personality or ego and get them moved off the team.
I'm going to put this out there  
David in LA : 10/5/2015 1:49 pm : link
but would you welcome Philbin in any capacity on the Giants' staff? KNowing his connection to GB, maybe he has a good working relationship with McAdoo.
Dan Campbell sounds like a fiery guy  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/5/2015 1:56 pm : link
Said the first thing he's going to change is push practices much harder. All players need to be challenged in order to improve.
David in LA  
GeorgeAdams33 : 10/5/2015 2:14 pm : link
I like your idea. I believe that Joe Philbin could be a great addition and a potential asset to our coaching staff. He might very well be a Coughlin type of guy and he wanted to hire McAdoo to be his OC in Miami. The two worked together for many years in Green Bay when Philbin was the OC for the Packers.
Based on what Campbell seemed to say in his introduction  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/5/2015 2:16 pm : link
he about burned down Joe Philbin for running a country club of practices and not challenging his players.
I loved the Danimal

Get off this account, Odell.
Landry would be a perfect fit in all seriousness, though.  
arcarsenal : 10/5/2015 2:29 pm : link
He's a tremendous slot WR and you can line him up all over formations and use him a lot of ways. I'm not sure Cruz is ever going to really be Cruz again.

It's obviously a pipe dream and would never happen, I just really like that kids game.
