Dolphins Promote Bobby Slowik To Offensive Coordinator, Hire Chris Tabor As ST Coordinator & More
Miami Dolphins overhaul coaching staff with strategic hires. Will Bobby Slowik’s promotion spark new life into the offense, and can Chris Tabor’s special teams pedigree fix discipline woes? Kyle Crabbs breaks down a weekend of major staff changes, including Bobby Slowik stepping up as offensive coordinator, Chris Tabor joining as special teams coordinator, Tyke Tolbert bringing decades of NFL experience to the wide receivers room, and a key addition to strength and conditioning from the Green Bay Packers pipeline. Insights cover the potential impact on Tua Tagovailoa, Jaylen Waddle, Alec Ingold, and the offensive line, plus analysis of the team’s struggles with penalties and return games. Find out how Mike McDaniel’s evolving playbook and Jeff Hafley’s leadership could reshape the Dolphins’ approach as they chase divisional rivals. Will these moves boost Miami’s playoff aspirations, or will questions linger heading into the 2026 NFL season?

Kyle, I am going to post this part before seeing your video… I think Slowik will be able to bridge multiple potential gaps in communication for the offense. I think this is vital and will work well! I may have additional comments after hearing your view!
Kyle, are you in Delaware for this snow?
Did Kyle change his hairstyle today to match our new head coach 🤔
If he just dyes it darker he’d be hired by Miami!
Kyle Crabbs 👍🏻your the best.
Just get the play calls in on time.
The strength and conditioning coach should have been replaced years ago. Read the bio of the current guy. He wasnt qualified to be a strength and conditioning coach. He was qualified to be an aerobics instructor. Maybe. I don't want butch Berry here. I don't want any McDaniel guys here. Let him go with McDaniel. We got the OC. That's enough. And why pay 10 million for a kicker and a fullback. No. Cut them both
Butch Berry was a great OL coach. Did we loose him?
Kyle is selling hopium like his life depends on it.
How is this a good hire?
If Romeo Doubs gets a multi-year $20 million AAV contract from an NFL team I’ll send you a bottle of lagavulin 16…
Mr. Ross did say that he wanted to see a Superbowl from the Dolphins before he died, with this new group of leaders it's obvious he will be wha things a long time
B. Slow is just temporary for this year. We are gonna be bad this year. What OC coach wants this job? 1 year audition.
Did you see what happened to Detroit this year? When they promoted in house people to coordinator positions?
Thanks
