With the Miami Dolphins reportedly set to hire Vic Fangio – one of the NFL’s most highly respected defensive minds – for their vacant defensive coordinator position, head coach Mike McDaniel has already done something that former Dolphins’ head coach Brian Flores couldn’t do.
McDaniel has brought in someone who can be a “head coach” on the opposite side of the ball from his own area of expertise.
During his tenure in Miami, Brian Flores — a defensive minded coach — had four offensive coordinators over a three year period, including co-coordinators George Godsey and Eric Studesville in his final year as Dolphins’ head coach.
