Dolphins set to interview offensive coordinator candidates this week
The Miami Dolphins could have a new offensive coordinator by the end of the week.
By Justin Hier | @HierJustin | Jan 12, 2021, 11:13am EST
The Miami Dolphins and head coach Brian Flores will be hiring the team’s third offensive coordinator in as many years. Per Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, that hire could happen as early as this week, as the team is set to begin interviewing candidates in the coming days.
This marks and change in course for Brian Flores’ hiring process at the coordinator level. When Flores first took the job to be Miami’s head coach prior to the 2019 season, he already had former New England Patriots wide receivers coach Chad O’Shea lined up to call plays on offense. When Flores fired O’Shea after one season, Chan Gailey was already set to come out of retirement and take over. Now, Flores is giving himself the opportunity to play the field and find the right person to helm Miami’s offense going forward.
Per multiple reports, Dolphins tight ends coach George Godsey and running backs coach Eric Studesville are both well-respected in the building and are the team’s top internal candidates to take over for Gailey. Godsey specifically seems to have a good relationship with 2020 5th-overall draft pick Tua Tagovailoa after Godsey took over as quarterbacks coach for several games while Robby Brown was out due to COVID-19 protocols.
The fact that Flores will conduct formal interviews and take his time suggests that Miami’s head coach is, at the very least, considering hiring someone from outside the organization. Former Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn, former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone, and former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson are the most high profile external candidates given the fact that all three are offensive-minded head coaches who were just relieved of head coaching duties within the past few weeks.
Some up-and-coming candidates for the position could include San Francisco 49ers passing game coordinator Mike LaFleur (younger brother of Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur), Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator Shane Waldron, Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott, former Chargers offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, former Chargers quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton, and Buffalo Bills quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey.
Regardless of whether Flores decides to promote from within or hire from outside the organization, it’s likely that he does so with Tagovailoa in mind. With Flores and general manager Chris Grier both cashing in their chips on Tagovailoa at the most important position in football, pairing the young quarterback with someone who will be able to best accentuate what the former Alabama Crimson Tide star does well will be vital in upgrading Miami’s offense going forward.

Former Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson says QB Deshaun Watson should stand his ground with team
Sarah Barshop
ESPN Staff Writer
HOUSTON -- Former Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson tweeted his thoughts on the current situation surrounding quarterback Deshaun Watson's displeasure with the team, saying, "If I'm [Watson], I will stand my ground."
"The Texans organization is known for wasting players careers," the former All-Pro receiver added. "Since Jack Easterby has walk into the building nothing good has happened in/for the organization and for some reason someone can't seem to see what's going on. Pathetic!!!"
Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who was traded by former Texans head coach and general manager Bill O'Brien in March, also tweeted, "When Dre speak listen."
Johnson, the Texans' franchise leader in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns, played for Houston from 2003 to '14. His final season was O'Brien's first with the team. After Johnson retired, he transitioned into a role with the Texans' coaching staff under O'Brien. In August, Johnson left the Texans' coaching staff but continued as a Texans ambassador. Johnson and Easterby overlapped with the organization for more than a year.
Easterby, the Texans' executive vice president of football operations, was hired by O'Brien and team chairman and CEO Cal McNair in 2019. After McNair fired O'Brien in October, he named Romeo Crennel the team's interim head coach and gave Easterby responsibility over the personnel department.
McNair initially said Easterby would not be involved in the process of hiring the Texans' next general manager, Nick Caserio, but he said he did ask for Easterby's feedback "on Nick as a leader" during the decision process.
"Jack and I have had a really special relationship," Caserio said in his introductory news conference. "It goes back a number of years. ... I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for. Any personnel decisions that will be made we'll make as a group, but ultimately that's a responsibility that Cal has instilled in me, is to handle the personnel side of the football operations. So that's the expectation moving forward.
"Jack will have a role and we'll work in conjunction with each other on a number of things for sure. But as it pertains to football decisions, those will ultimately be my decision in conjunction with the head coach once we get to that point, as well."
On the day the Texans announced they had hired Caserio, there were several media reports that Watson was unhappy with the hiring process. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Watson found out on social media that the Texans intended to hire Caserio. While there have been several reports about his unhappiness, Watson's lone reaction about the general manager hire came in the form of a since-deleted tweet that stated, "some things never change ..."
On Friday, McNair said he had reached out to Watson but had not heard back from the quarterback while he was on vacation.
