Dolphins fire Josh Boyer, other defensive assistants

When the Miami Dolphins hired Mike McDaniel last year to serve as their new head coach, many of the defensive assistants, including defensive coordinator Josh Boyer, were retained as a way to keep some stability in a defense that rounded into form during the 2021 season. After the 2022 season, the strengths that were expected from the defense did not materialize during the season, and now McDaniel is looking to make changes to the defensive side of the ball.

On Thursday, the Dolphins announced the team had relieved Boyer of his duties as the team’s defensive coordinator.
