I suspect Philbin should go back to being  coordinator, for his own good. He's not necessarily the worst head coach ever, but he doesn't inspire respect or confidence. That Hard Knocks season was rough!

If he fails to make the playoffs with a team that stays healthy throughout the season, then his tenure will be over. I don't think he would get another head coach job afterwards, so it's not like it would be a choice for him to go back to being a coordinator. This is his fourth season with the Dolphins, so he will have had enough time to install his system, and it's not like the roster is bad either.

Based on scuttlebutt, even reaching the playoffs via a wild card may not be enough, if they lose in the first round. That said, it was widely thought he'd be let go after last season, so maybe the Dolpins' ownership just really, really likes Joey.
