Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has been hot on Jim Harbaugh's trail in the past, but it appears you can kill off any more talk of Ross chasing the head coach this coming offseason.
According to Palm Beach Post's Andrew Abramson, Ross has said that embattled head coach Joe Philbin will return in 2015.
The Dolphins won in dramatic fashion on a final-minute blocked punt on Sunday, and a Week 17 win could give them a 9-7 record, which would be Philbin's first winning season with the team.
Will this appease Dolphins fans eager for a playoff appearance? Likely not. But it would be hard to argue with an owner supporting a coach who has made progress with a .500 team when a six- or seven-win team will be making the playoffs a week from now.
