My coaching philosophy? Determine your players talents and give them every weapon to get the most from those talents.
I think what coaching is all about, is taking players and analyzing there ability, put them in a position where they can excel within the framework of the team winning. And I hope that I've done that in my 33 years as a head coach.
As a coach, your high standards of performance, attention to detail and - above all - how hard you work set the stage for how your players perform.

Obviously the Dolphins are 0-4 and not happy about that. They haven't been able to put together any drives offensively. If they can get something together offensively, with the great defense they play, they've got a chance to win some games this year, and they've got a chance against New England.
