The Dolphins finished the 2022 season rated 18th in full protection, 27th in passing defense and tied for 24th on 3rd downs.
Miami also fired safeties mentor Steve Gregory, outside the house linebackers coach Ty McKenzie and assistant linebackers mentor Steve Ferentz.
The moves occur following common manager Chris Grier and McDaniel said Monday that they would take a very little while to type out their personnel soon after a disappointing collapse from 8-3 to 9-9 in 2022, such as a decline to Buffalo in the very first spherical of the playoffs.
