Dolphins Team Report
(Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:25:17 PST)

Mike Sherman is very familiar with his new boss in Miami.

Sherman hired Joe Philbin, now the head coach of the Dolphins, as an assistant offensive line coach in Green Bay in 2003. Sherman was the Packers' head coach and Philbin was working at Iowa.

They share the West Coast offense roots Philbin plans to build his scheme around and the 57-year-old Sherman is considered a very good teacher of quarterbacks. He came with a ringing endorsement from Aaron Rodgers, who played for both coaches.

The quarterback-needy Dolphins might now give stronger consideration to a few available options—free agent Matt Flynn of the Packers and Texas A&M senior Ryan...
