Late final week, the Miami Dolphins discovered a alternative for Wes Welker once they agreed so as to add former Dallas Cowboys large receivers coach Robert Prince to Mike McDaniel’s teaching workers.
It was a pleasant signing (I believe), however there was nonetheless one massive void on Miami’s teaching workers. And after a yr through which the particular groups unit completely performed a think about Miami’s disappointing season (Not you, Jason Sanders!), it was time for McDaniel to maneuver on from Danny Crossman and herald one other particular groups coordinator in hopes of rejuvenating the unit.
In keeping with NFL Community’s Tom Pelisserro, McDaniel has discovered his man — because the Dolphins plan to rent former Tennessee Titans particular groups coordinator Craig Aukerman. The 48-year-old coordinator has not been within the league since 2023, when then Titans’ HC Mike Vrabel fired him after a Week 13 additional time loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Earlier than being fired by Vrabel, Aukerman labored alongside the previous Titans head coach for all six seasons in Tennessee. It wasn’t till his unit turned the ball over twice in a loss to the Colts that Vrabel lastly determined to half methods with the veteran coach.
Previous to his time with the Titans, Aukerman was a particular groups coordinator with the San Diego Chargers in 2016. He was additionally an assistant particular groups coach in Tennessee (2013-2015) and Jacksonville (2011-2012) and a defensive assistant with the Denver Broncos in 2010.
He’ll now land in Miami to assist restore a unit that struggled mightily within the return recreation. The Dolphins may use an improve at punter, however they could be okay with preserving consistency on the place if Jason Sanders continues to be cash. Both approach, I’m cautiously optimistic — which is all you might be at this level of the season.
