It’s no secret that the Dolphins have had horribly slow starts in their first four games this season. Even in their lone win, against the Washington Redskins in Week One, the Dolphins found themselves with a 10-point deficit heading into the second half. Each game since has also seen the team fall behind by double digits, and it’s has been increasingly frustrating, for fans and players alike, to see the offense start off with a three-and-out series, while the defense gives up an opening drive touchdown.
That frustration boiled over during the bye week, as head coach Joe Philbin and defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle were fired, replaced by Dan Campbell and Lou Anarumo, respectively.
