Josh Boyer has been fired as Dolphins defensive coordinator, the team announced Thursday, in head coach Mike McDaniel’s first major coaching change since his first season leading Miami ended.
The team also announced safeties coach Steve Gregory, outside linebackers coach Ty McKenzie and assistant linebackers coach Steve Ferentz were relieved of their duties.
“I am grateful for Josh’s contributions this year and throughout his tenure with the Dolphins,” McDaniel said in a new release “The defense made strides through the season, so coming to this decision was not easy, but ultimately I feel it is in the best long-term interests of the Miami Dolphins and the continued growth of our players and team.”
