Miami fired Danny Barrett tonight who has coached the running backs for the last two seasons. Barrett helped Jay Ajayi reach 1,000 yards in 2016 and a birth in the Pro-Bowl but Miami traded the three time 200 yard rusher at the trade deadline after he failed to grow.
The Dolphins found more success with Kenyan Drake after the trade and Drake improved on his run blocking and pass protection. Still Miami didn’t feel as though the unit was heading in the direction that Gase expected from his offense.
Miami could potentially turn to former Broncos running back coach Eric Studesville.
