Miami Dolphins Machen Dowell Loggains Zum Neuen OC Miami Dolphins machen Dowell Loggains zum neuen OC Nachdem Dowell Loggains von den Chicago Bears entlassen wurde, griffen die Miami Dolphins zu und machten ihn am Freitag offiziell zu ihrem neuen Offensive- Coordinator. Loggains arbeitete mit dem aktuellen Headcoach der Miami Dolphins, Adam Gase, bereits bei den Chicago Bears zusammen. Dort war Loggains als Quarterback-Coach angestellt, bevor er nach dem Abgang von Adam Gase nach Miami zum Offensive-Coordinator befördert wurde. Der 37-jährige Loggains begann seine NFL-Coaching Karriere als Quality-Control- Coordinator 2008 bei den Tennessee Titans. 2010 wurde er zum Quarterback Coach und 2012 zum Offensive-Coordinator befördert. Loggains verbrachte 2014 ein Jahr als Quarterback Coach bei den Browns bevor er sich 2015 den Chicago Bears unter Assistenztrainer Adam Gase anschloss. Dennoch wird Headcoach Adam Gase voraussichtlich weiterhin der Play Caller in Miami bleiben. Loggains letzten zwei Jahre in Chicago frustrierte die meisten Bears Fans. So hörte man immer wieder, dass seine Offense geprägt war von konservativem, fantasielosem, unproduktivem Play-Calling. Der Headcoach der Miami Dolphins glaubt jedoch daran, dass die Untauglichkeit von Loggains’ Offensive mehr an dem Mangel an Playmakern lag als an fehlerhaftem Spieldesign des jungen Coachs. Dennoch sieht man wohl auch an dem Move von Loggains zu den Dolphins, dass sich Connections und Freundschaften in der NFL definitiv auszahlen können. Doch die Einstellung von Dowell Loggains war nicht die einzige Veränderung im Front Office der Dolphins. Nach der abgelaufenen Saison hat sich so einiges getan im Coaching Staff. So machten die Dolphins ihren ehemaligen Offensive- Coordinator zum neuen Director of Football and Player Development und entließen ihren Runningback Coach Danny Barrett, Defensive Line Coach Terrell Williams und Defensive Back Coach Lou Anarumo. Während Danny Barrett mittlerweile als Runningback Coach bei den Houston Texans untergekommen ist, kommt der bereits in Miami bekannte Jeremiah Washburn zurück und wird der neue Offensive Line Coach. Der bisherige Offensive Line Coach Foerster wurde Ende letzten Jahres entlassen, nachdem im Oktober ein Video öffentlich wurde, was ihn bei der Einnahme von Kokain in seinem Büro zeigte..

  • Former Titans Head Coach Mike Munchak Brings 37 Years of NFL Experience As Broncos Candidate by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post Jan
    Former Titans head coach Mike Munchak brings 37 years of NFL experience as Broncos candidate By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post Jan. 5, 2019 Consecutive wins to end the 2013 season allowed the Tennessee Titans to finish 7-9 under third-year coach Mike Munchak. Many believed he would be fired. Ultimately Munchak was dismissed but not until he turned down a contract extension and raise in salary when he refused to fire multiple assistant coaches. Fast forward to Friday, when Munchak, 58, was at the Broncos’ facility interviewing with general manager John Elway, president/CEO Joe Ellis and others for the opening created by Vance Joseph’s firing on Monday. Munchak’s loyalty is to be applauded, but the formation of his potential coaching staff should be a major topic of discussion. Munchak is the third known candidate to meet with the Broncos, who interviewed Chuck Pagano (Wednesday) and Zac Taylor (Thursday). On the docket are Brian Flores (Saturday) and Vic Fangio (Monday). Since leaving the Titans, Munchak has been the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line coach. Last January, he removed himself from consideration for the Arizona Cardinals’ head coaching position. Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers requested an interview. Munchak checks two of the boxes Elway is assumed to want: Previous head-coaching experience and a background on offense. He played 12 years at guard for the Houston Oilers, was named to the Pro Bowl nine times, twice selected All Pro and, in 2001 was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. To his credit, Munchak didn’t use his playing status to take short cuts in coaching.
