Off to 1-3 start, Dolphins fire Philbin as coach

To the surprise of almost no one, the Dolphins fired Joe Philbin on Monday morning according to multiple reports.

“This was a tough decision for me to make knowing how tirelessly Joe worked in his four years here to make this a winning team," owner Stephen Ross announced Monday. "He is a man of the highest character and integrity that I developed a close personal relationship with. I am extremely disappointed with how we have started the season, but I feel confident that we can improve quickly with the talent we have on our roster. We will soon be announcing an interim coach to lead the team going forward.
