The Miami Dolphins have been under the direction of Joe Philbin since the beginning of the 2012 season. Heading into the fourth season with Philbin, we look at the starting lineup for the Dolphins each year of his tenure, including the projected starting lineup for this season.
| 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | |
| QB | Ryan Tannehill | Ryan Tannehill | Ryan Tannehill | Ryan Tannehill |
| WR | Brian Hartline | Mike Wallace | Mike Wallace | Greg Jennings |
| DT | Randy Starks | Randy Starks | Randy Starks | Earl Mitchell |
| DE | Jared Odrick | Olivier Vernon | Olivier Vernon | Olivier Vernon |
| LB | Koa Misi | Koa Misi | Philip Wheeler | Chris McCain |
| S | Reshad Jones | Reshad Jones | Reshad Jones | Reshad Jones |
Obviously, a lot has changed for the Dolphins over Philbin's four seasons, but there's actually a lot that has stayed the same.
