Joseph Philbin (born July 2, 1961) is an American football coach. He is the former head coach for the National Football League's Miami Dolphins, a position he held from 2012 to 2015.

Early life

Philbin was born in Springfield, Massachusetts to Paul and Mary Philbin. He attended Longmeadow High School and did a post-grad year at Worcester Academy. He graduated from Washington & Jefferson College in 1984, where he obtained a B.A. in sociology and played one year on the football team.[1] He was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.[2] He pursued a Master of Education in administration and supervision from Tulane University in 1986.

Coaching career

College

From 1984–2002, Philbin coached at the collegiate level. As the offensive coordinator, he helped win a national championship with Allegheny College in 1990. In 1998, he was offered the position of head football coach at his alma mater, Washington & Jefferson, but turned down the position to coach at Iowa.[3] He served under Kirk Ferentz at Iowa from 1999–2002.

Green Bay Packers

In 2003, Philbin joined the Green Bay Packers coaching staff. He spent nine years in Green Bay. During his tenure as offensive coordinator (2007–2011), the Packers offense ranked in the top 10 in the NFL for points scored and total yards every year, including their Super Bowl season.[4]

Miami Dolphins

On January 20, 2012, Philbin was named the tenth head coach of the Miami Dolphins,[5] beating out interim coach Todd Bowles and Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, who were the other two finalists for the job. Philbin praised the Dolphins as a team with a "strong nucleus to build around," and the "passion" of the fans, players and management. Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross stated that Philbin has all of the attributes that he was looking for in a head coach.[6] Philbin guided the team to a 24–28 record during his time as the Dolphins head coach, unable to lead it to a winning record or make the playoffs.[7] Philbin was fired by the Dolphins on October 5, 2015 after starting 1–3. Tight ends coach Dan Campbell replaced Philbin as the team's interim head coach.[8]
