Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said on Tuesday he expects to have his entire coaching staff back for the 2021 season.
Flores was wrong. The Dolphins announced Wednesday that offensive coordinator Gailey has resigned from his post.
The announcement comes days after ESPN reported that Gailey had been fired. They quickly withdrew the report, based on a tweet from someone posing as ESPN reporter Adam Schefter, but the end result is still that the Dolphins need a new offensive coordinator.
“I want to thank Chan for all his hard work and dedication in a unique year,” Flores said in a statement. ‘He played an important role in the staff and in the development of our young position. I wish him all the best. ”
Gailey’s successor will appeal to maximize the potential of Tua Tagovailoa, the first round in 2020, as the quarterback enters his second NFL season.
