"I want to thank Chan for all of his hard work
and dedication in what was a unique year," Dolphins head coach
Brian Flores said in a statement. "He played an important role
on the staff and in the development of our young roster. I wish
him all the best."
Flores needs a new offensive coordinator for the third time in
three seasons in Miami. Among outside candidates, Flores could
consider former Texans head coach Bill O'Brien. The coaches are
familiar with one another from their days in New England as
Patriots assistant coaches from 2009-11.
Tight ends coach George Godsey assumed an increased role with
the Dolphins as a sideline tutor for rookie quarterback Tua
Tagovailoa and could be the frontrunner among in-house
candidates.
ESPN reported Godsey and running backs coach Eric Studesville
were likely to be interviewed for the post.
On Tuesday, general manager Chris Grier declared Tagovailoa as
the Dolphins' starting quarterback in 2021.
Speculation in recent weeks grew around discussion the Dolphins
might be forced to consider another quarterback with the third
overall pick in the 2021 draft, which is considered to be rich
at the position. Miami has the pick as a result of a trade with
the Houston Texans for offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil.
