Football Betting Lines

01/20/2012 - Davie, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Dolphins have named former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin as their new head coach.

Philbin was the offensive coordinator of the Packers from 2007-2011 and helped Green Bay's offense rank in the top 10 of the NFL in points scored and total yards every season.

"We are thrilled to have Joe Philbin join the Miami Dolphins as our head coach," stated Dolphins chairman of the board and managing general partner Stephen Ross. "Joe has all the attributes that we were looking for when we started this process. (General Manager) Jeff Ireland and I felt Joe was the right choice to bring the Dolphins back to the success we enjoyed in the past. I know I join our fans in welcoming him as the newest member of the Dolphin family."

The 50-year-old Philbin was an assistant offensive line coach (2003), tight ends/assistant offensive line coach (2004-2005) and offensive line coach (2006) with the Packers prior to being promoted to offensive coordinator.

Miami failed to land its first choice Jeff Fisher last week when he opted to become the St. Louis Rams' head coach.

The Dolphins fired Tony Sparano after a 4-9 start this season. Assistant/secondary coach Todd Bowles was promoted to interim head coach.

Philbin will be introduced at a Saturday afternoon press conference.
