Adam Schefter Filed to ESPN: Miami plans to hire Joe Philbin as its head coach.
Favorite Retweet
Time will tell if Joe Philbin will make a good NFL head coach, but the Miami Dolphins have got themselves a good prospect. And now there will be a lot of speculation that QB Matt Flynn could follow him to Miami as a free agent.
I've read that Philbin has been a detailed orientated coach for the Green Bay Packers. He wouldn't have lasted as Mike McCarthy's offensive coordinator for the past five seasons if he wasn't good at running the offense in practice. He doesn't call the plays during the games, but he does a lot to prepare the players and the game plan each week.
Source -- Miami Dolphins plan to hire Joe Philbin as next coach - ESPN. Here's a little bit more on the report.
As for the Packers, they're obviously in the market for a new offensive coordinator. I wouldn't be surprised if they promoted from within, depending on whether quarterbacks coach Tom Clements finds a head coaching job of his own. So long as the Packers offense is led by McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers, they remain in good hands.

they should promote Clements to OC
won’t be surprised if Flynn ends up in Miami
I am too drunk to taste this chicken.

Exactly my thoughts
I wonder if he’ll make a deal for Flynn

Good luck, Philbin
And please, take Matt Flynn with you.

Good Luck Philbin.

Now we pray that Miami doesn’t move up in the draft.

Cant we trade him before the draft?
Normal years Free Agency typically begins a month before the draft right?

Cool Story for the bros
I saw an OK State player do the belt after intercepting Landry Jones of Oklahoma.

I'd be more than fine with promoting Clements
Guy has done a great job with the QBs, knows McCarthy and the offense, knows the players, etc.

I'd be ecstatic...
If we can get Clement as OC. That might keep him around for another 2-3 yrs. Don’t know if he’s really ready to be a HC. But definitely ready for OC job!
Hoping we’re able to sign Finley so we can do a franchise and trade for Flynn and get a late 1st or high 2nd. That would help get a facelift on D!

Acquiring Mario Williams with the addition of a fully healthy Nick Collins would help speed the process of reacquiring that swagger the defence had in 2010.

uhhhhh…this won’t happen for multiple reasons.
The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
Yeah, that what I was thinking too. They gotta get that Finley deal done first though. Maybe an incentive heavy contract where he will get paid more if he performs well.
Though it sucks that he is leaving, I am happy he went to the Dolphins, since i live in South Florida, and the Dolphins are my second favorite team behind the Packers.
Wouldn't be surprised if this decision had something to do with his son.
Change of scenery, etc.
I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!
Heard Clements was interviewing with the Bucs?
Hate to lose both of them, Clements & Philbin, but, I wish them both very best!!!

Cutler would be running the show. :)

Upon hearing this news...
it makes me even more saddened that the Packers couldn’t have finished what they started and handed him a going-away Super Bowl and gameball.
This season ended so sadly, but all the best to Philbin and the rest of his family as they pick up their lives after the devastation of losing their son Micheal. My deepest sympathy and gratitude for everything he has accomplished in Green Bay.
Now go out and beat the tar out of the Patriots Joe!

Hate to see him go.
But can’t wait to watch him coach. I am hoping for the best. Looking forward to a Dolphins/Packers Super Bowl in the future.
As for a replacement, I could see them upgrading a current staff member. If they look elsewhere, I might look at Joe Lombardi. Lombardi is currently the QB coach for the Saints. Oh and yes, he is the grandson of Coach Lombardi himself.
Good news
I now have a reason (besides the Packers) to make the trip to Buffalo to watch a game at the Ralph.

Congratulations to Philbin!
It’s been a very hard month for him, and nothing will replace his son, but it’s great to see something good happening for him. Best of luck to him

Heard Manning might retire/get released
Might be looking for new job? If we move Clements up to OC, Peyton could be the QB coach.
Haha we could only wish.
