Dolphins expected to hire Matt Applebaum as offensive line coach; Frank Smith to interview for offensive coordinator role

New Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel continues to round out his coaching staff, and with him expected to retain much of the coaching foundation already laid on the defensive side of the ball, outside hires appear to be the direction that he’s primarily taking on offense.

Per ESPN’s Pete Thamel, McDaniel is expected to hire Boston College offensive line coach Matt Applebaum for the same position in Miami. Applebaum has been one of the most accomplished ACC assistant coaches at the offensive line position over the past two seasons. In 2020, four of his starters received All-ACC honors, and this season, two of Boston College’s starters are expected to be sought after draft prospects.
