Dolphins add Jim Washburn to defensive coaches, Jeremiah Washburn as offensive coach

The Miami Dolphins are continuing to build their coaching staff with two hires from the Detroit Lions.

The Miami Dolphins are working to fill a brand new coaching staff under rookie head coach Adam Gase. While some of the bigger positions like offensive, defensive, and special teams coordinators have been filled, the addition of position coaches and "senior assistant coaches" are still happening, with the Dolphins adding two more on Tuesday, according to multiple media reports.

The Dolphins will be adding former Detroit Lions father-son duo Jim and Jeremiah Washburn. Jim, the elder of the two, was the assistant defensive line coach for the Lions from 2013-2014, working with Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh during that span.
