MIAMI — In the wake of the Miami Dolphins’ late-season collapse, owner Stephen Ross immediately began contemplating a possible organizational shake-up.

Ross has been meeting with his top advisers before deciding whether to fire anyone, two people familiar with the situation said.

One of the people said the meetings began Sunday night and will resume Thursday, and a decision could come then. That person said that during the Dolphins’ loss Sunday to the New York Jets, Ross became so upset he turned away at one point because he could no longer watch.

Both people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because discussions regarding a possible organizational shake-up have been private. Second-year offensive coordinator Mike Sherman is considered the most likely to be fired, and sixth-year general manager Jeff Ireland‘s job is also in serious jeopardy. Coach Joe Philbin is likely to return for a third season, the two people familiar with the situation said, but that’s not a certainty.
