Dolphins interviewing Chargers Frank Smith for offensive coordinator

The Miami Dolphins have filled a good portion of their coaching staff to this point, however, they’ve yet to find an offensive coordinator to join Mike McDaniel’s staff.

There have been reports that the team will interview Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks coach Charles London and New Orleans Saints wide receivers coach/offensive assistant Curtis Johnson for the open position.

Now, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Miami has added a third candidate to the mix in Los Angeles Chargers run game coordinator and offensive line coach Frank Smith.

Smith has spent just one year in his position with the Chargers after spending three seasons with the Chicago Bears and three seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders as the tight end coach in both stops.

With Smith as offensive line coach this year, the Chargers gave up the fourth-fewest sacks per game (1.8) and were 13th in pass-block win rate (61%).

With how important collaboration is to this head coach, general manager, and owner, they have to be sure that they find the right guy.
