New Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is continuing to build his staff just days after being hired for the job.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Dolphins special teams coordinator and assistant head coach Danny Crossman will remain with the team in his at least his special teams coordinator role. This is just the second hire to McDaniel’s staff, as Crossman joins tight ends coach Jon Embree.
Crossman has been with the Dolphins since 2019 but has been a special teams coordinator in the NFL since 2007. Miami had one of their less stellar seasons on special teams, including kicker Jason Sanders’ drop in field goal accuracy from converting 92% of the time in 2020 to 74% in 2021, which was the fourth-worst for any team.
Hopefully, Miami’s punting, kicking, and returning units can turn it around in 2022 now that Crossman has received a vote of confidence from his new coach.
