With the promotion of Matt Burke to defensive coordinator Gase had a hole at linebacker. He filled that staff opening with former Rams linebacker coach Frank Bush. Bush will also serve as an assistant head coach.
In addition to Bush’s “assistant head coach” title, special teams coach Darren Rizzi has been promoted to “associate head coach”. Lastly Miami promoted offensive quality control coach Chris Kuper to assistant offensive line coach.
Bush is a solid addition to a staff that needs good coaching at a position that will likely undergo changes this off-season. The Dolphins could be in the market for two starting linebackers if they feel Jelani Jenkins is not worth relying on and Koa Misi’s neck issues are too serious to keep around.
