Miami Dolphins set to hire Patriots assistant to run their offense, reports say

The Dolphins, by all accounts, have zeroed in on their next offensive coordinator:

Patriots receivers coach Chad O’Shea, who like head-coach-in-waiting Brian Flores, cannot be hired until after the Super Bowl.

Multiple reports have now linked O’Shea to Miami, but the Dolphins will not comment on any potential hires until their head coach is formally in place.

But the sense is O’Shea, 46, is the guy, which would make Flores’ top two lieutenants branches off the Bill Belichick coaching tree. The Dolphins’ next defensive coordinator is expected to be Packers linebackers coach Patrick Graham, who spent seven seasons as an assistant in New England.
