If he loses one of the final two games, he's most likely out, even though Stephen Ross reportedly doesn't want to fire the embattled head coach.
If the first half, and more specifically, the end of the first half, is any indication, then Ross may have no choice.
With Miami trailing 14-7, and the ball inside the Minnesota 50, the offense faced a third and two with over a minute to play and two timeouts left...
And they passed. And they threw an incompletion.
And then, at 7-7, and at home, they punted.
Then Minnesota took over, looking content to run the ball and drain the clock.
The only problem? Miami took their final two timeouts, only to set up a Vikings first down, followed by another, and another, and another.
The drive ended at the Miami 1 yard line, resulting in a Blair Walsh FG to put the Vikings up 17-7 at halftime.
Yes, it was an absolute debacle. A disaster. A botchery.
It was as bad as an end to a first half as I've ever seen.
Minnesota will get the ball to begin the second half.
And Joe Philbin's seat is hotter than ever.
To the third.
