In the press release from the Dolphins about Philbin's hiring, owner Stephen Ross stated, ""We are thrilled to have Joe Philbin join the Miami Dolphins as our head coach. Joe has all the attributes that we were looking for when we started this process. Jeff Ireland and I felt Joe was the right choice to bring the Dolphins back to the success we enjoyed in the past. I know I join our fans in welcoming him as the newest member of the Dolphin family."
Philbin stated, in the release, "I want to thank Steve Ross and Jeff Ireland for giving me the opportunity to become the head coach of one of the premier franchises in professional sports. I also want to thank the Green Bay Packers for all the support the organization has given me during my time there. The Dolphins have a strong nucleus to build around, and working with everyone in the organization, I know that together we will return the team to its winning tradition. I have seen how much the fans in South Florida care about the Dolphins, and that passion is one reason why I'm really excited to be here. I'm looking forward to their support, and I can't wait to get started."

All the best to him and his family
I like this hire. I thought it was going to be McCoy. Let’s turn this once proud franchise back on its winning path.

In One Way A Winner Already!
What little I know about Philbin so far makes me like him a million times better than I liked the looks of Sparano after they anounced him as the new coach.

I'm excited to see what Philbin will bring to South Beach
let’s start a dynasty, Joe. We’re behind you 100%.
Kdog92 - January 20, 2012

Because the biggest tourist attraction in Miami is South beach
Phinsphana - January 20, 2012
That's debatable but even still people do not say those sorts of things when players go to other towns. Its something
made up but the stupid media and those of us from there should know better then to glam on to it.
texascowpunk - January 20, 2012
well I am from cali and never been to Miami, so South Beach is one of the only things I know of there
it makes sense to me
insainsiren - January 20, 2012
It's over rated
Drewrey - January 20, 2012
So.
texascowpunk - January 20, 2012
people who aren't from florida say south beach....
i’m a native floridian and i say miami even though i know it’s davie…..

MagicDolphin - January 20, 2012
I can't stand S. Beach personally and I grew up in the Gables.
texascowpunk - January 21, 2012

wild zion beaver - January 20, 2012
Well I guess I just prefer a place like the Keys
Drewrey - January 20, 2012
South Beach is different, but not overrated.
I happen to enjoy it.
Finhead83 - January 20, 2012
Well I guess I just prefer a place like the Keys
Drewrey - January 20, 2012
Amen. We have a place on Long Key. Nice and quite and beaches with no people.
texascowpunk - January 21, 2012
But that's because your a drag queen.
texascowpunk - January 21, 2012
Unfortunately thanks to LeBron James it's always going to be mentioned in those words
phinsphan85 - January 20, 2012
AWW Right Miami
Miami has the Dolphins the greatest football team. We move the ball from GOAL to GOAL like no one’s ever seen…….
Maybe, just maybe, we’ll get some damn offense back in this town again……….
Drewrey - January 20, 2012
FINISH THE SONG!!!!!!!!
Oh sorry about that forgot my percocet

Finhead83 - January 20, 2012
Keep popping and you won"t feel a thing
I’ll wake you up when it"s over and hopefully you will have missed a good ride.
Drewrey - January 20, 2012
THANK GOD
I did not wamMcCoy anywhere near this team
Patssuck456 - January 20, 2012
FOR REAL!!!
When I read the report that he was the front runner I thought to myself, “Of course he is. Good job Ireland and Ross. The only question now is which team I traded my Dolphins fandom for.” And then I looked at the comments and somebody said literally the exact same beginning. “Of Course he is”….
But if you think of this objectively it was actually pretty funny to think of McCoy getting the job. For years now we have complained about the offense. So last year we bring the Browns OC in after his team had a lower scoring offense than the dolphins.
AND then….
To hire McCoy who basically had no offense, and the only time they scored was because Tebow did his magic act on like 2 drives vs prevent defenses.
Can anyone believe we actually didn’t make the dumb decision and hire McCoy? I mean Philbin might not pan out, but I’d rather have the guy who was a part of one the NFL’s two most potent offenses than a guy who jammed Tebow down everybody’s throat and got lucky.
Still though…I can’t believe we didnt go with McCoy based on how Ross and Ireland do things.
josh111 - January 20, 2012
Agreed Philbin actually seems to know what he is doing.
Patssuck456 - January 21, 2012
Good luck Joe. Bring us
back to being a perennial contender.

THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN.
THANK GOD THE PARCELLS ERA IS FINALLY OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drewrey - January 20, 2012
Best Wishes
Ok Joe is the man now in Miami. Let’s give him out support! We needed a fresh start. I hope they keep Bolwes in some capacity, maybe defensive coordinator. I hope Ireland listens to Joe when it comes to drafting players. Hopefuly, Joe will bring in a 1st round QB or a good veteran to compete with Moore. Let’s flush the Parcell gang down the tolliet, or better yet pack them off to the loud-mouth Jets.

'I know together we will return this team to its winning tradition'
How refreshing is it to have a coach who’s so confident?
BahamaDolfan - January 21, 2012
welcome to dolphin nation Coach Joe!!!
O how I pray you are the man to take our Phins back to the glorious team they once were! Just random thought, I live in PA and have been to Miami twice, both times visiting South beach and it is one of the best places I’ve ever been to. GO PHINS………!!!!!
