Philbin was the head coach of the Miami Dolphins from 2012-15. He was also the interim head coach of the Green Bay Packers to finish the 2018 season.
Philbin was fired as the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line coach after the 2022 season. He has 19 seasons as an NFL coach. He was an offensive analyst for Ohio State in 2023.
Philbin has ties to the Raiders. He was in Green Bay in with defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, wide receiver coach Edgar Bennett and star wide receiver Davante Adams in 2018. His time in Green Bay did not overlap with new Las Vegas offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
