Wes Welker Fired as Dolphins WRs Coach by Mike McDaniel After Missing NFL Playoffs

The Miami Dolphins have parted ways with wide receivers coach/pass game specialist Wes Welker.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel announced the move in a statement released Friday. Miami also relieved special teams coordinator Danny Crossman of his duties.

"I am grateful for Danny's contributions and dedication to the Dolphins over the course of many seasons, as well as the numerous ways he helped me as a head coach," McDaniel said.

"I also want to thank Wes for his investment here. This was not a decision I came to lightly, but as I have evaluated the season and areas where we must improve, I believe that change is needed and am motivated to do what is best for the team as we move forward.
