Newly minted Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley joined ESPN personality Peter Schrager on Tuesday afternoon to talk his journey in the National Football League that now includes a little over a week as the head-man-in-charge of the South Florida franchise.<\/p>\n
The two discussed various topics, but eventually landed on the retention of Bobby Slowik on Miami\u2019s staff \u2014 and his promotion to offensive coordinator of the Dolphins.<\/p>\n
\u201cBobby and I were together in San Francisco. At the time\u2026 Bobby was on the defensive side of the ball\u2026 Bobby was in my office all the time talking football, and I left to go be the coordinator at Ohio State\u2026 [Kyle Shanahan] steals Bobby to go on offense and look at what Bobby did there. Bobby kind of climbed through his ranks\u2026 Bobby [did] such a good job there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hafley continued, \u201cWhen I get the job \u2014 I\u2019m still in touch with Bobby, because regardless of where I go, Bobby is still on my list. And it just kind of worked out that he\u2019s here. He doesn\u2019t have to move. My relationship with him \u2014 what he does schematically is really what I want to do. Knowing the type of person he is\u2026 You want to talk about an unbelievable person. That\u2019s so important to me. Just a guy I trust \u2014 I love what he does, and it\u2019s really worked out well for both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
