The Miami Dolphins' locker room scandal might cost several people their jobs. Richie Incognito is at the center of the Dolphins saga, but Michael Silver says there could be plenty of blame to go around. READ NFL Media Columnist Mike Silver said on NFL Network's "NFL GameDay Morning" that the coach and general manager aren't expected to make it through unscathed. "Unlike that scandal (the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal), where ownership stood resolutely behind Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis, Jeff Ireland, the general manager, and head coach, Joe Philbin, in league circles, are not expected to survive this," Silver said. "Jeff Ireland already has the reputation in league circles for being a guy who 'we can't believe he still has his job.' They're 4-4, but there's clearly a void here. Expect somebody to pay." Source: NFL.com SteveRobWhatever's Take: I think Ireland didn't help himself when he suggested Jonathan Martin physically confront Richie Incognito. As for Philbin, he's been painted as an out-of-touch coach who's been absent at the wheel while being the head man. This scandal is going to have big ramifications, the least being the jobs of the team's GM and coach. Unfortunately for them this all happened under their nose.
Agree that they probably won't make it. Can probably toss in the majority of the coaching staff as well. If Philbin was aware of things, then his coaches knew. When you read about what other NFL coaches say about hazing and the locker rooms and then hear Philbin's comments he's either lying or just not in command. Either way........
Yep, this may be the nail in the coffin for many of the coaches and front office people in Miami. Time to start over (and that's probably not a bad thing there)
