According to Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Patriots wide receivers coach Chad O’Shea is expected to become the Dolphins new offensive coordinator.
O’Shea will likely officially join the Dolphins staff after the Patriots play the Rams in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3. Also, Brian Flores, who is the Patriots linebackers and defensive play caller, will be named Dolphins head coach after the Super Bowl.
Flores had his official second interview with Dolphins general manager Chris Grier on Wednesday night. Although nothing can be finalized until after the Super Bowl, Flores and Grier have begun talking about building a coaching staff.
Along with bringing in O’Shea, Flores is reportedly set to bring in former Colts and Lions head coach Jim Caldwell as the Dolphins’ assistant head coach, along with making Packers linebackers coach Patrick Graham the defensive coordinator.
Just like Flores, O’Shea has been with the Patriots organization for years dating back to 2009 when he was named the team’s wide receivers coach. O’Shea has been working in the NFL since 2003 when he was an assistant coach for the Chiefs.
During his time with the Patriots, O’Shea has overseen a receivers unit that has developed players such as Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, and others.
