Per a report by SiriusXM NFL Radio host Alex Marvez, the Miami Dolphins are believed to be leaning towards Dallas Cowboys defensive backs coach/passing game coordinator Kris Richard as their next head coach.
Richard was a defensive back himself, playing for the Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers, and Oakland Raiders over a 6-year NFL career. Following his playing career, he joined Pete Carroll as a graduate assistant for USC for two years before following Carroll to the Seahawks in 2010.
He served as a defensive backs coach for 5 years and then spent three years as the defensive coordinator for the Seahawks, and is largely credited for developing the ‘Legion of Boom’ secondary in Seattle with Richard Sherman, Byron Maxwell, Earl Thomas, Brandon Browner, and Kam Chancellor.
