While the Miami Dolphins kept defensive coordinator Josh Boyer in his role after Brian Flores’ firing this offseason, they made some other changes to the coaching staff, including hiring former Dolphins cornerback Patrick Surtain to be a defensive assistant.
Surtain spent seven seasons in Miami, making three Pro Bowls and two All-Pro teams before he was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the 2005 season.
When his playing career ended in 2008, he took some time off, but eventually found his way back into football, coaching American Heritage High School which is less than 20 miles from Hard Rock Stadium.
