Unlike his predecessor, rookie Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase put together a strong coaching staff under him.
The proof of that came when the Denver Broncos hired defensive coordinator Vance Joseph as their head coach after he served only one season in Miami and further proof came when Gase immediately pivoted to linebacker coach Matt Burke as his new defensive coordinator, replacing Joseph, in a move he’d anticipated a year earlier.
But the Dolphins’ coaching staff had an obvious flaw.
Adam Gase, 38 in his first year as a head coach, didn’t have a veteran adviser who had been a head coach before.
