Philbin last coached in the NFL with the Cowboys where he had been the team’s offensive line coach for three seasons.
He entered the NFL in 2003 with the Packers, working his way up to offensive coordinator in 2007 and spent five seasons in that role before taking the head coaching job in Miami.
Philbin spent four seasons from 2012-15 as the head coach of the Dolphins. Since then he has had stints as the offensive line coach with the Colts and Cowboys with a single season as the OC back in Green Bay in between.
All told, Philbin brings two decades of NFL coaching experience into the building.
Pierce is surrounding himself with veteran coaching minds like Philbin and Marvin Lewis, who is a defensive minded coach and the team’s assistant head coach.
