Here's some food for thought: If the season ended now, the Miami Dolphins would be just one game short of the playoffs.
That's astonishing, considering the early-season meltdown the Dolphins endured that led to them becoming the first team to fire their coach this season.
Relieving Joe Philbin of his headset, clipboard and red challenge flag and handing those props to Dan Campbell appears to be the best move the Dolphins could have made. It was a perfect storm that led the team to dismiss its mild-mannered head coach in favor of a rabble-rousing, fiery leader of men.
