MIAMI (AP) â A person familiar with the decision says Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin has accepted an offer to become the Miami Dolphins’ head coach.
The person confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because the team hadn’t made an announcement. The Dolphins are expected to hold a news conference Saturday.
The hiring comes less than two weeks after Philbin’s son drowned in a Wisconsin river. After spending a week away from the Packers, Philbin rejoined the team last Sunday for its divisional playoff loss to the New York Giants.

For the first time since the return of “Beavis & Butt-Head” (Thu., 10 p.m. EST on MTV), Todd returned. In the boys’ eyes, he was just as cool as ever, and even more so after he punched a guy out in front of them. The guy had the nerve to ask Todd for some money he was owed.
Later, the guy pressed charges against Todd, with Beavis and Butt-Head the only witnesses. So Todd tried to use intimidation on them to get them to say it was self-defense. The boys embraced the idea, with Butt-Head punching Beavis “in self defense” when Beavis asked him for some money he was owed.

But their testimony was no good, as the prosecution pulled up their records.
Though recent cuts to the GI Bill have limited their academic options, returning troops are finding ways to offset the exorbitant costs of an Ivy League education.
Up until January, the revamped GI Bill paid for the full tuition at public two- and four-year schools for those who had served for a minimum of three years since Sept. 11, 2001. But recent cuts to that program capped tuition at $17,500, threatening to take away the opportunity to study in the hallowed halls of prestigious institutions, like Columbia University.
Cameron Baker, an Air Force veteran, was already enrolled at Columbia when the cuts were made. He feared that he would have to transfer out.
