Three days following the end of the Miami Dolphins season, offensive coordinator Chan Gailey resigned, thus ending his second stint with the Dolphins and most likely sending him back to full-time retirement. Gailey may not have ever been the best choice at offensive coordinator, given his age and time out of the game, to come to Miami and help with the development of rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. I do though wish Mr. Gailey the best, and a long and enjoyable retirement. With that behind us the Dolphins now must, once again, find and hire a new offensive coordinator. While I do not know any more than the rest of us who it will ultimately be, I do believe that it has to be someone that we can bring to Miami for more than a season or two.

FRISCO, Texas – New defensive coordinator.
No surprise when your defense gives up a franchise-high 473 points and finishes 31st against the run.
New secondary coach/pass game coordinator reportedly on the way.
No surprise when giving up 34 passing touchdowns, another franchise single-season high.
New defensive line coach likely up next.
No surprise when registering just 31 sacks, matching the fewest since the 28 of 2014 and the second fewest since the 24 of 2002.
And don t think the Cowboys simply woke up Friday morning and decided to fire defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and defensive line coach Jim Tomsula when they made the announcement. This decision had been in the works for weeks, but likely solidified after exit interviews with some of the more veteran players.
Mike McDaniel discusses his new role as 49ers offensive coordinator
By David Bonilla
Apr 15, 2021 Mike McDaniel started working with Kyle Shanahan with the Houston Texans. He is one of the San Francisco 49ers head coach s most trusted assistants, serving as the team s run-game coordinator during his first four seasons in Santa Clara. In January, McDaniel was promoted to offensive coordinator, becoming the first coach under Shanahan to hold that title. Immediately, you re trying to prove your worth and prove the people right that have really invested in you and invested in your career, and given you opportunities, and et cetera, et cetera, McDaniel recently told 49ers.com reporter Keiana Martin. It instills a level of hunger on top of the hunger that you already had.
Dolphins offensive coordinator interviews: First names start to leak
Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports
The Miami Dolphins have a vacancy at their offensive coordinator position after Chan Gailey resigned following the season. There have been reports that the team would start interviews for the position, but no names had been linked to the team. That changed this morning with reports from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe.
Both reporters tweeted out the list, which includes to internal interviews, with running backs coach Eric Studesville and tight ends coach George Godsey in consideration. Head coach Brian Flores really like Studesville, while the team officially lists Godsey as the tight ends coach, but had him working with the quarterbacks for much of the season. Both men would make sense to be promoted into the position, with speculation high that Godsey, based on his work with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, could be the man who ultimately lands the role.
