Bobby Slowik was promoted to offensive coordinator, while Chris Tabor was hired to oversee special teams. Defensive coordinator has not been announced yet, but a name has been rumored. Sean Duggan who is currently the Green Bay Packers linebackers coach is expected to be offered the position as soon as Anthony Weaver\u2019s head coach search concludes. Duggan will not be calling the defensive plays as Hafley has already confirmed he will be doing that on gamedays.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day\u2019s round-up below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/dolphins\/onsi\/news\/breaking-down-the-latest-dolphins-staff-developments-01kfzszspx3v\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Breaking Down the Latest Dolphins Staff Developments;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Breaking Down the Latest Dolphins Staff Developments<br \/><\/a>The Miami Dolphins could have a new defensive coordinator in place very soon<\/p>\n<p>Dolphins Quarterbacks<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/dolphins-starting-qb-week-senior-222400300.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Can Dolphins find starting QB at this week\u2019s Senior Bowl?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Can Dolphins find starting QB at this week\u2019s Senior Bowl?<br \/><\/a>The Miami Dolphins, under general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley, have vowed they aren\u2019t going to skimp on quarterback, which is a definite position of need heading into next season.<\/p>\n<p>Dolphins Offseason<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/dolphins\/onsi\/news\/what-s-a-realistic-turnaround-time-for-the-dolphins-01kg04t0hppc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:What\u2019s a Realistic Turnaround Time for the Dolphins?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">What\u2019s a Realistic Turnaround Time for the Dolphins?<br \/><\/a>The Miami Dolphins are starting over with a new general manager and new head coach<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/miami-dolphins-needs-draft-top-151402691.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Miami Dolphins needs in draft: Top 5 positions;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Miami Dolphins needs in draft: Top 5 positions<br \/><\/a>The Miami Dolphins, it could be argued, have NFL Draft and free agency needs at almost every position.<\/p>\n<p>Phinsider News You May Have Missed<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thephinsider.com\/the-splash-zone-miami-dolphins-news\/114740\/can-the-dolphins-find-their-own-sam-darnold-the-splash-zone-1-27-26\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Can the Dolphins find their own Sam Darnold \u2013 The Splash Zone 1\/27\/26;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Can the Dolphins find their own Sam Darnold \u2013 The Splash Zone 1\/27\/26<br \/><\/a>Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right.
