Looks like the fins may have made the wrong choice by holding onto their DC! This article really rakes Coyle over the coals good.

JACKSONVILLE Sometime last January or February, after much studying, fact-finding and tape-watching, Dolphins coach Joe Philbin saw a defense that had crumbled at the end of last season and decided the architect of the fallen structure had done a good job.

Philbin resisted calls in the media and in his head to fire defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle. He turned a deaf ear to the pundits and a blind eye to what he had seen in the season’s final month.

Philbin gave Coyle another year even as proven NFL defensive coordinators such as Jim Schwartz were unemployed and looking for a chance to work.

Now Philbin and the Dolphins are reaping a harvest from that failed decision.

Now the Dolphins, boasting a $163 million defensive front and sky-high expectations, come into games flat and not ready to succeed. On Sunday, Coyle’s defense gave up an opening-series touchdown to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

It was the second consecutive week Philbin put his defense on the field first against a less-than-stellar offense, and the defense immediately gave up points.

“We have to come out fast and furious and set the tone,” defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said. “But we didn’t set the tone. They set the tone. We didn’t set the tone.”

The Jaguars set the tone. They punched first, and the Dolphins kind of sort of just turned the other cheek. And while that’s a great response in a Sunday church service, that’s a poor approach on a Sunday football field.

Then things got worse.

If the DC's issues weren't bad enough, it looks like Suh is doing his own thing. Great team mate.

A big reason why: Suh, who for the second straight week was a nonfactor, strayed from Kevin Coyle’s script.

The Miami Herald has learned that Suh freelanced at times Sunday, creating confusion on the defense. By taking matters into his own hands, the Dolphins’ $114 million man took a bad situation and made it worse.

“I couldn’t tell you,” Suh said, when asked to explain his uninspired play. “At the end of the day, we have to go back to the drawing board and figure out what we want to run so guys can make plays and go from there.”
