When someone reaches the top of the professional coaching profession it’s hard to hold that spot for long, unless you’re a perennial winner.
Former Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin ran the South Florida team from 2012-15, leading them to a 24-28 record before being fired just four games into his fourth season. Philbin got an opportunity as Green Bay Packers interim head coach in 2018 when Mike McCarthy got fired. Under him, Green Bay went 2-2.
Now, after following McCarty to Dallas and spending three seasons as the Cowboys offensive line coach, Philbin has jumped back to the college football ranks for the first time since 2002. According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Philbin has joined the Ohio State Buckeyes coaching staff as an offensive analyst.
Philbin’s last collegiate coaching job was with the Iowa Hawkeyes as offensive line coach from 1999-2002.
Ohio State continues to be one of the premier college football programs in the country, despite not winning a championship since 2014. He’ll also have an opportunity to work with the top receiver in the nation in Marvin Harrison Jr., who’s expected to be a top pick in the 2024 draft.
