The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Joe Philbin on Monday after a disappointing 1-3 start to the season, as first reported by Omar Kelly of the Miami Sun Sentinel. Philbin will be replaced by tight ends coach Dan Campbell, who will now serve as the team’s interim head coach.
Philbin, 54, was in his fourth season with the Dolphins after first joining the team in 2012. The Dolphins compiled a 24-28 record during his tenure with the team, recording back-to-back 8-8 seasons before a slow start to the 2015 season.
After 19 years coaching at the college ranks, Philbin came to the NFL in 2003 and spent nine seasons with the Green Bay Packers, quickly working his way up to offensive coordinator in 2007 where he stayed for five seasons. The Packers never finished outside the top 10 in total offense during Philbin’s time as offensive coordinator and he parlayed that success into a head coaching job with the Dolphins where he was immediately paired with 2012 first-round pick, Ryan Tannehill.
