Report: Dolphins fired their OC because his Patriots-style offense was too complex for young players

The Miami Dolphinsfiring of first-year offensive coordinator Chad O’Shea earlier this offseason came as something of a surprise.

Granted, the Dolphins offense didn’t exactly rack up the points, but how many coaches could find success with such a roster? The offense also showed a clear upward trend, going from averaging a putrid 8.4 points in the team’s first five games to 19.0 points in the middle six and 25.8 points in the final five.

Plus, O’Shea had been brought over with head coach Brian Flores from the New England Patriots, where he was previously the wide receivers coach.
