Joe Philbin claimed his first victory as a head coach on Sunday when the Miami Dolphin beat the Oakland Raiders, 35-13.
After losing all four pre-season games and last week's opening game, Dolphins fans were wondering if the mild-mannered 51-year-old from Green Bay was the right man to motivate a team few expect to challenge in the AFC East this year.
A "fly on the wall" television documentary series, Hard Knocks, did little to help his image, showing him obsessing about litter and shoelaces.
