Coaching Staff
Brian Flores is entering his his third season as the Dolphins head coach. The team appears to be steadily improving under his stewardship. The 2019 Dolphins were surprisingly feisty, almost frustratingly so for their fans, given that the team was clearly gunning for the top pick in the draft that season. After finishing 5-11 and selecting Tua Tagovailoa fifth overall pick, the 2020 Dolphins surprised again, with a 10-6 record and a near playoff berth.
This will be Brian Flores' third consecutive season with a new offensive coordinator. Last year's coordinator Chan Gailey, whose offense was better suited for Ryan Fitzpatrick than Tagovailoa, resigned after the season. Flores then made the unusual decision of naming two offensive coordinators: Eric Studesville and George Godsey. They will serve as co-offensive coordinators in 2021. Both coaches were already on the Dolphins staff and should have a good understanding of how to best utilize their offensive weapons. Studesville has served as Miami's running backs coach since 2018. Godsey has has been the Dolphins tight ends coach since 2019. We've been told to expect lots of "collaboration" a focus on "execution" and "great communication." But we really don't know exactly what this offense is going to look like. And we do not yet know who will be calling plays.
