Miami Dolphins
When the head coach of a franchise gets fired after only four weeks, the team is in trouble.
This is the case with the 1-3 Miami Dolphins, who just fired Joe Philbin on Monday morning after the team lost to the New York Jets, 27-14 in Sunday’s London game.
We have announced today that Stephen Ross has relieved Joe Philbin of his duties as head coach. https://t.co/QT1DfJmyfL

So far, the Dolphins have only scored 65 points while allowing 101 points against them. They are on a three-game losing streak and besides the offense struggling to put points on the board, their defense has been downright awful, ranking third-worst overall in the NFL.
The Dolphins have only registered one sack in four games and it did not come from the NFL’s highest-paid defensive player, Ndamukong Suh. Additionally, the Dolphins secondary is getting destroyed and the defense is allowing a whopping 160.5 rushing yards per game, which is most of any team.
While the team tries to regroup moving forward, the Dolphins have appointed tight ends coach Dan Campbell as the interim coach.
