On the same day that the Miami Dolphins introduced new head coach Mike McDaniel to the fanbase and media, the team has stayed busy to surround him with the right coaching staff.
According to Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Dolphins have fired defensive backs coach Gerald Alexander. Alexander has been with Miami for the last two seasons, as he received credit for the emergence of Jevon Holland and Brandon Jones. The 37-year-old recently interviewed with the Jacksonville Jaguars for their open defensive coordinator position, but it has since been filled.
Alexander isn’t the only coach moving on from Miami Gardens, however, as co-offensive coordinator/tight ends coach George Godsey was hired by the Baltimore Ravens Thursday night, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec. This move was expected with McDaniel coming in to run his own system and former San Francisco 49ers tight ends coach Jon Embree joining in the same capacity.
