Who is Dolphins Defensive Coordinator Matt Burke?

Matt Burke has taken over the defensive coordinators job in Miami but not a lot is known about Vance Joseph’s replacement.

The Miami Dolphins announced the hiring of linebackers Coach Matt Burke as their new Defensive Coordinator just one day after Vance Joseph jetted off to Denver. The rapidity of this hire points to a wider master plan that brought both Burke and Joseph over from Cincinnati and onto Head Coach Adam Gase’s staff.

Relatively little is known about Burke, yet he is the man tasked with turning around one of the league’s worst defenses. Especially if the Dolphins hope to make the post-season a regular fixture in South Florida.
