The Miami Dolphins are in search of their third offensive coordinator in as many years.
After last year’s offensive coordinator Chan Gailey resigned, the Dolphins reportedly have a list of coaches they plan to bring in for interviews for the position.
List of Dolphins interview candidates, per source
Dolphins RB coach Eric Studesville
Dolphins QB coach George Godsey
Clemson OC Tony Elliott
Chargers QB coach Pep Hamilton
49ers run game coordinator Mike McDaniel
Steelers QB coach Matt Canada— Cameron Wolfe (@CameronWolfe) January 14, 2021
It is intriguing that multiple Dolphins assistant coaches are on the list.
Though it was never announced, George Godsey became Dolphins QB coach in the second half of the year.
I'd keep a close eye on Studesville, McDaniel, Canada and Elliott among this group.
Interviews begun this week and are still ongoing.

The goal for Miami is to bring in an offensive coordinator that can maximize quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s talent.
After an up and down rookie season, Tagovailoa will need to show more in his sophomore campaign if the Dolphins want him to be the franchise quarterback.
While none of the names on the list are flashy hires, as long as they are committed to Tagovailoa’s development, they should help the Dolphins move forward.
Miami finished the 2020 season at 10-6, but missed the playoffs after losing in Week 17.
