The Miami Dolphins granted their fanbase a favour by firing Joe Philbin and replacing him, on an interim basis, with tight ends coach Dan Campbell. The Dolphins have had a bye week to adjust to their new staff, which also includes a new defensive coordinator, but does a change at the top result in an immediate turnaround?
Since 2000 there have been 23 coaches fired midseason, and one Bobby Petrino resigning from the Atlanta Falcons, with teams amassing a lackluster 7-17 SU and 9-15 ATS record during the game after the coach departed. However, the returns for teams have been far superior in recent memory.
The past 10 teams to fire their coach midseason, dating back to the Buffalo Bills in 2009, have posted a better-than-average ATS record of 7-3.
