The Chargers will be looking to fill the void left by run-game coordinator and offensive line coach Frank Smith.
According to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, the Dolphins, led by new head coach Mike McDaniel, are hiring Smith to be their new offensive coordinator.
Brought in by Brandon Staley last offseason, Smith helped turn around an offensive line with new pieces into a formidable group.
Smith went on to produce two Pro Bowlers and second-team All-Pro honorees in Corey Linsley and Rashawn Slater.
Further, Smith was responsible for the development of players, most notably Trey Pipkins.
Prior to his days with the Bolts, Smith served as the Bears and Raiders’ tight ends coach.
Los Angeles now look to replace Smith, with promoting assistant Shaun Sarrett to the lead role being the likely option. Sarrett was brought over from the Steelers after spending two seasons coaching the offensive line.
